They're tough and they're interesting enemies to fight, but there are too few of them to make areal impact on the gunplay. All in all, FEAR 2 doesn't seem to lose any of the mechanics that the first game had (including the jump-and-slide-kicking that other reviewers have wrongfully called out the game for not preserving).

Looks like a lot of reviewers just rushed through the game and didn't pay any attention to their moveset. Personally, I think this game got an unfair rep, and a lot of these reviewers went into the game with their mind made up about giving it a low score..

Slide-kicking doesn't save it from being boring.

Well there's no lean function, but yeah, makes you wonder how much of the game the reviewers actually play. Gamespot's review said melee attacks were missing altogether if I remember correctly.

I've finished F.E.A.R.2 and I tried a good few times to slide tackle enemies but it never worked for me. Doesn't matter anyway since the melee in the game is so stupid and badly done. One hit will kill enemies although you never need to melee them anyway since you rarely get close enough to do it before they die from gunfire.

The game is just way too easy for a start, and one-hit kill melee attacks are just stupid.
