Fear 2 is somewhat new to me. I played the first one but didn't finish it. Basically your Sgt.Beckett with your squad of special ops. You are cut up and are surgically amplified to attract Alma."Your like free pizza at an anime convention"-Snake fist.(in game ally) The somewhat sad part about Fear 2 is that it's scarier but not to the extent I was hoping. Their are great moments every now and then but no constant fear of being killed. You actually get use to fighting Allma in a rapid button mash. The ending is surprising but will leave anyone questioning. You fight zombie civillians who raise dead soldiers nearby to kil you(have a shotty), ghosts that charge at but die in 1 shot( take very little health), Replica soldiers which are weak at first but get a hell of a lot more anoying, Archaman soldiers who created your super amplification and what to bury you in ruble just like they did to Alma. Fear 2 reveals much about Alma and how she hit puberty and is now a teenager trying to get a hold on you and your team. Their are so called boss battles but their in fist combat, if you played Turok you'll know what I'm talking about. You'll fight Alma, Colonel Vanek (the dick who keeps sending men to kill you and Alma once and for all) and a Archaman droid. Some upsides to this apocalyptic nightmare are you get to control the droids more than once. You'll tear away at Replicas and some Archaman guards. The game is only 14 sections which I beat in my 5 day rental. The weapons are good and consist of Assault rifle, sniper rifle, SMG, combat shotty, automatic shotty(way better and guess who have them as well, yep you guessed it the Replicas),Missile Launcher, pistol, Hammerhead(a spike shooting gun that can pin enemies to walls) laser gun, (that splits enemies in half) plasma rifle that bounces off walls until it hits someone and is a 1 hit kill to anything, and a semi-automatic rifle(only in onilne). Graphics are stunning but the thing that makes Fear 2 great is the AI who act like real players and will stay back, produce cover by flipping or moving objects, and will work together to annihalate you. Your able to move cover as well.
Multiplayer- A handful of maps and a point system. You can only have 15 points maximum, you can't gain anymore by ranking up. It's a balncing system. Unfortunately everyone thinks alike and picks heavy armor and the SMG. You can choose between no-medium-heavy armor, pick through shock, incendinary, frag genades or proximity mines. You can choose between the weapons I've told you about. Everything costs points, the better it is the more points it cost just like heavy armor or the assault rifle=8 pts each. This is all undermined by the very laggy servers which really there aren't any its just gamer hosted ranked and unranked games.
Total- 8.75
