don't even rent it

I played the first FEAR not too long ago and found it largely unimpressive. To me it was just another straight-forward shooter with nothing new to offer really and it was over much too quickly, but thankfully i didn't buy it. I sent it back to gamefly and it was out of my mind like that, it being one of the most forgettable and overrated games i've ever played. I did not find even one moment of it to be remotely spooky so that may be a big part of why i didn't enjoy it as much as other people.

Then i noticed a sequel was out, and with my gamefly queue pretty well dwindled, i decided to give it a shot because it had a pretty good score and it was supposed to be a large improvement on the original.

One hour into the game, and i thought i was playing an original xbox shooter. THere wasn't a single thing about it that felt next-gen or new. You run around, you shoot everything that moves, theres a lot of blood splashed on the walls that really just looks like messy paint, and your HUD flashes every few seconds in a half assed attempt to simulate hallucinations. Oh and the girl from The Ring shows up every now and then to try and spook the gamer but it ends up being downright laughable.

maybe i just didn't get it. i played a few more levels after the initial hour i spent and i got nothing more out of the game so sent it back. pale, lousy, one dimensional story, decent but cartoonish graphics, and long past expired gameplay is all this game has to offer. play something else.

4/10
