Kinda like having your cake but not eating it. For fans of running and shooting at things.
Pros:
The one thing most striking is the effort in the detail of the maps - the random mugs and file cabinets everywhere. It gives a good sense of realism. Graphics are absolutely superb. The ambiance will make you leave a light on in your room and check behind you every few minutes. The thrill and suspense that something bad is about pop out of the corner will probably make you close every door you go through in the game. All the elements combined makes the game a brilliant psychological thriller and this is what will keep you wanting more... and nothing better says can describe "PWN" as when you shoot a Replica Soldier with your pump action shotgun in slow-mo and its blood everywhere. Nice touch. They even added a Mech warrior. Oh, how I loved the Mech Warrior!
Cons:
The first point lost: The A.I does not act as one and they do not plan very strategically. More like, run around, shoot, maybe throw a grenade, shoot some more... Kinda like a newbie group of optimistic bank robbers storming into a bank with toy guns hoping for the best. It took me 9-hours to finish the game on Normal. It took me just 7-Hours to finish on Hard knowing the game. The second point lost is for the storyline. This is the type of story when you ask a question, you get your answer only leaving you with more questions. The story itself is very short and unclear. You don't quite know what are you doing and why are you doing it. Just to understand what is actually going on you will most likely need to use Wikia. The other thing that was kinda stupid is the terrain and the weapons are almost exactly the same as F.E.A.R 1, but it would make sense because the two games runs parallel in time. Would be weird if you were in fairyland with a gravity gun fighting off mutated unicorns?
Bottom line: Bound to be a Classic, though a very monotonous game play. Definitely worth buying it and playing it two times.
