F.E.A.R. 2 Review
First encounter assault recon: project origin 2 (quite a mouthful)
Fear 2 begins with a group of recon soldiers going on a mission to arrest the president of the big bad evil company of the first game, after your mission obviously goes horribly wrong you are thrown into a battle between the companies soldiers, replica soldiers (the telepathically controlled people from the first game), and the creepy evil psychotic girl with super powers alma. While the story does a better job then most typical first person shooters it really doesn’t get interesting until your at least halfway through the game.
The Game is about 8-10 hours long and doesn’t have a lot of reply value besides achievements but you will find it fun to use the slow-mo feature that is very well implemented into the game. Although besides the slow motion in the game its pretty generic stuff. A big problem I had with the first was it had very VERY repetitive environments and they fixed that. The “scary” parts of the game where alma pops up for a bit get very predictable and you will be surprised if she hasn’t showed up after you get your flickering HUD crazy psycho moment.
The multiplayer component of the game is just a tacked on piece of squirrel poop and just shouldn’t have been included at all. Of coarse they couldn’t have put the slowmo in it but without it the game just gets super repetitive and becomes a race for the best weapons on the map.
Overall it can be worth a buy if you liked the first, but I would recommend renting it if you are not sure.
7/10
