FEAR 2 - 8/10 - PCPowerPlay

Well the Australian magazine PCPP have done it again and have awarded 8/10.

Stating:

Good: Great game engine, more diverse enemies, more in your face.

Bad: Corridor-Filled Quarter, Questionable AI, More in your face

Conclusion: A definite step up from the first: a worthy successor.

Let's hope they're right.....

If you believe in Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it, put this in your sig.

Sounds promising, especially the more "in your face" aspect to the game.

Maybe the horror level has been stepped up a bit?

ya, thats my guess. Im definately buying it as FEAR is one of my favorite shooters.

Still, my only complaint is the art direction they took with Alma. She was scarier when she didnt have such an identity and was just this black-haired little girl. Now she has a face, eyes, etc and it makes her too human.

I loved the demo, however.

[QUOTE="biggest_loser"][QUOTE="sSubZerOo"] Yeah but paradoxically enough, FEAR 2 is much scarier than the first.. The game reminds me ALOT like Condemned.. Which is great, its the apoclypic enviroment where I just don't know wha the hell is going on.. Imo I am sick of these scary games, or apoclypic games spoon feeding you the crap, when really that is not what would happen in real life.. And I have my theories about the maincharacter, I still think he is the point man.. Monilith wouldn't make such a break from the game.. They had no reason to.. sSubZerOo

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"][QUOTE="biggest_loser"] There wasn't really a main character at all in the first game so it wouldn't matter much on the contrary. biggest_loser

For something to be a worthy successor it has to improve on its predecessor or at least be on par.

So much was taken out and toned down in FEAR 2 I don't know how it can be called a 'worthy successor', did they even mention the lack of lean?

looks like a 5-6 after playing the demo...JangoWuzHere

I played the demo a few weeks ago and have mixed thoughts.

The thing that I can't understand is how Monolith and the testers have been oblivious to the consolized feel of the PC version. Valve managed to make the Orange Box multi-platform while keeping the consistency of the previous titles, whereas FEAR 2 seems to have suffered from it.

Has the lean ability been cut because controllers don't have enough keys to implement it? Graphically it looks alright, but it seems like they have had to hold back due to the consoles.

I can understand they want to make as much money as possible by making it multi-platform, but I feel frustrated by the lack of innovation that comes as a result of it.
