F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is a competent, if unexceptional, game. The gameplay is more of an expansion of F.E.A.R. than a full-blown sequel, and unfortunately, the plot and "fear factor" don't quite reach the heights achieved by the first F.E.A.R. However, it's still a fast-paced shooter with some interesting set pieces, useful weapons and enjoyable gameplay. The multiplayer isn't quite as tacked-on as F.E.A.R.'s was, but it isn't going to hold a gamer's attention for too long. All in all, F.E.A.R. 2's biggest problem is that it feels like yet another expansion pack to the F.E.A.R. franchise instead of a sequel, and gamers eager for something new may be a bit disappointed. The biggest and most interesting change involves the rarely used robot suit, and everything else feels like more of the same.
Inspired by the J-Horror craze going on at the time, Monolith’s F.E.A.R. was a solid action fest of a shooter that entertained as much as it terrified. Bloody Disgusting goes back to see Alma ten years on from the launch of the sequel.
This game honestly killed all my interest in the franchise, I loved 1 and its expansions (even though they're technically non-canon now) but the sequel was such a let down.
First-Person Shooters are a dime a dozen nowadays and it’s a struggle to really find one that stands out and separates itself from the genre. This can be a double-edged sword, as a FPS that brings something new to the table can often unintentionally have that new thing staying at the table forever. But what if that game managed to capture a concept so well that not even its successors could manage to tap into its perfect blend of creative design? Let’s say they decided to mix genres: ones that had been mixed before, but managed to do something that hadn’t been done before. Could it be possible that a studio managed to make a sort of lightning in a bottle for FPS’s, something so good that there may not be anything quite like it for over a decade after it came out? Well, that DID happen, and that game’s name was F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon.
its been almost exactly 4 years since F.3.A.R. its a great series that needs a comeback.
The first one still holds up well to this day. Hope to see another one on current gen ;)
Hardcore Gamer: GOG has made its name as the place to go for DRM-free gaming. Now, the company has added a number of games from the Warner Bros. Interactive library to its lineup of available games.
Look. I haven't played the first Fear, but I played the Fear 2 demo and thought it was freaking awesome. I don't know why all of these freakin reviewers lower the score just because these games play like the first game. Its like these reviewers want a game to cook and clean the house for them too. Im still getting the game because the demo was really creepy,,, the graphics are sic, and the gameplay was very satisfying. I wish I could say the same for COD5 thats why I traded it in for Fear 2. Screw this review. I think im done looking at reviews unless its from a major company. This game is way better then a 7.
