Well Gamespot, you have lost even more credibility in my eyes.

Look, I know Gamespot is trying to get some sense of credibility back recently, but giving this game a 7? Really? You mean to tell me that this game is as bad as Turok? I couldn't disagree more. Look, the fact is that this game is not as scary as FEAR, nor does it have as much mystery, but it is still an amazing game. Let's start with the visuals. Superb, as you would expect from the sequel to a graphical groundbreaker. The effects? Also great, although they didn't quite give as much environmental destructibility as promised. I mean, I have airsoft guns that can tear through wicker flower pots, and a shotgun can't? But overall, the gore is excellent, the physics are great, and the environmental destructibility that is present is great. Now, I refuse to ruin the story for you, but suffice it to say that Alma is up to her old tricks again and another product of one of Armacham's programs is dead set on stopping her. Everything between there and the end is satisfying, creepy, and mysterious, but not as great as its predecessor. But that's like saying that a Ferrari is short to a dragster, they're both superb. The gunplay is much smoother and slow motion looks better as well, and while neither of those elements needed improvement, it is done to great effect none the less. The sound definitely delivers, and some of the enemies will have you dreading entering the next room. But now for the important part. Would I recommend it? Absolutely wholeheartedly. I advise any gamer to pick this one up if you want a good combination of scares and gunplay.
