FEAR 2: Project Origin

By Dan Stapleton (maximumpc.com)

It's been a while since we've seen a proper FEAR game. After Monolith's 2005 original, there were a couple of very mediocre expansions made by a different studio. When Monolith got the franchise back, we expected great things from its second outing; ...

Alma is genuinely creepy ; wall-crawling enemies frighten

There's nothing new to keep the shooting action interesting ; multiplayer is very forgettable

What is unique to the FEAR franchise is its main antagonist, Alma, the understandably upset ghost of a little girl exploited by an evil corporation that used her DNA to create psychically controlled clone soldiers. Alma's paranormal tantrum manifests ...

FEAR 2: Project Origin - Xbox 360

By (pocket-lint.com)

Scary the second time round?

The combination of hectic blasting, intelligent enemies, and terrifying scares is once again a real hit for the FEAR series. It's to the game's ultimate benefit that every mechanic it offers is of a high enough standard to culminate in a quite ...

FEAR title, not great, but not bad

By dehcbad25 (newegg.com)

Could have been better, but I don't know how. It was good for me, and I longed to finish it. After finishing it I did not play it again, but also, I collect PC games, so I have hundred of games to finish

It is a good game overall ; Good physics, and works well in SLI ; I get lots of FPS with 2 8800GT, and with 1 too (the other as the Physics engine) ; Continues the FEAR saga ; Multiplayer is not bad, and I don't usually play online :)

it is the same formula as previous FEAR games ; It can get monotoneous, but you will still manage to finish the story mode. And for the price it is OK ; It seems like FEAR 1, but more modern. I bet they could have done a collector pack that included all F...

better than the first

By HDVTech (newegg.com)

The game starts out a bit "average" in terms of gameplay but it gets really good and really creepy! I don't like that its not as story-driven as the first, but the action is much better. Also, the enemies are stronger and faster. And the ghosts are actua...

great variety of enemies ; great graphics ; amazing sound effects ; awesome physics ; great performance ; good weapons ; challenging ; creepy ; scary

loading times can be a bit long ; they changed the voicemails from the first game into "notes" that you have to read and scroll through by clicking ; story isn't the strongest

Sighs

By N/A (newegg.com)

The F.E.A.R. games just get worse as each new one comes out. FEAR 2 was a giant step back. Bah.. all pc games are moving backwards for that matter. "lazy porting For The Win" this is the game developers new moto. I have spent near 100 bucks on fear games...

Well.. it was kinda fun I guess ; The new sniper rifle was cool. It's the only good weapon they ever added since the original game

Steam *farts ; They got rid of leaning!!! Dumb move ; No more capture the flag in multiplayer.. just some poop flag game that I seen ; HUD and film grain effect.. common u lazy port noobs ; Could not bind the side buttons in game on deathadder.. for real...
