InsightBits writes, "The game looks slick and has just the right amount of darkness and lighting that allows it to excel in the horror genre. There is no tutorial, however one is not needed as this is your run of the mill first person shooter. With that said, the game does start of relatively easy for new comers to the genre (i.e. people living under a rock). For me, the best part about FEAR2. is that it has its strengths entrenched in FPS basics, that is the aiming is accurate, the controls are responsive and it all feels very smooth. Although there are various weapons, there is nothing new. The game can be finished by just using the machine gun."

Following on the coattails of the highly successful First Encounter Assault Recon, or F.E.A.R., Monolith Soft and publisher Warner Brothers released the highly anticipated F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin.
Set immediately prior to the finale of Point Man’s adventure in F.E.A.R., Project Origin tasks the player, one Sergeant Becket, and his squad with the retrieval and protection of Armacham’s Genevieve Aristide. Shortly after you battle your way through her apartment complex, a mushroom cloud explosion blasts through the city, successfully incapacitating Becket. While passing in and out of consciousness, Becket sees his journey from Aristide’s apartment to a hospital bed where he hallucinates being torn asunder by demons. Upon awakening, Becket finds himself pitted against a team of special ops soldiers cleaning up Armacham’s involvement from the original F.E.A.R.
Hahahahha. But seriously, I love this friggin game. Played it from start to finish about a dozen times since it came out. I wouldn't mind a Remastered Trilogy.
Direct2Drive has given Monolith's shooter F.E.A.R. 2 a significant price cut down to $20. The title ran $35 on D2D before the cut and currently runs $50 on Steam.
