Hi. I hated FEAR. I thought it sucked, and was boring and cliched. I only played a couple levels of that game, and yeah, I only tried the Xbox 360 version.

So I played this new one. Man, I still think I was pretty right about the first one but... =I want to play FEAR 2=. The AI kicks ass, and the gameplay is tight. The atmosphere is remarkably creepier this time too (methinks they took a hint from the Condemned series!) This has all the makings of a great shooter and maybe even a decent horror game.

I still think the story's pretty 'eh' though.

I liked the first FEAR. At the time was top notch IMO. Can't wait for the second one.

The first one was good and FEAR 2 improves on that immensely.

The demo is really good. I also liked the first FEAR, played it on PC first, then got the 360 version.

Agreed...even though the 1st FEAR was slightly inferior to the PC version, I still enjoyed it on the 360 and PS3. The demo shows that they made some much needed improvements..

F.E.A.R. for PC was amazing, but not so much for XBOX 360 because it was just ported from the PC. F.E.A.R. 2 is an actual console FPS. I'm addicted to the demo. It owns as well as the sniper in that game. It's crazy. To the TC I highly doubt you know the story behind F.E.A.R. since you admitted to only playing a few levels of the first one and to get the story you basically had to find the computers in-game or wikipedia it. The story is interesting.

really? i was a little dissappointed by the fear 2 demo, even after playing through it a second time to make sure i wasnt just acting crazy. the pacing seems slower, which im not a fan of, and most importantly the sound IS not seems washed out and drowned. there use to be a bass rumbling roar when you entered slow mo but even with my volume cranked it's still just this meager whine. and the shotgun use to sound brutal and loud, yet here it's just not the same, and where are all the grunts and screams and yells of the replica soldiers?!?! plus the blood splatters look completely fake and cartoonish, and the controls are still cumbersome...im just depressing myself even more by talking about it. the atmosphere was stilll great, especially the indoor areas, and i jumped up once or twice through the demo, which i welcomed, but the new hud is out of place and now days the use of no hud is becoming more and more popular to keep you immersed, if fear 1 was hailed for being this great immersive experience then why would fear 2 add this in? i think im gonna go play it a third time now, just to triple check my opinion

I thought the demo was good, just not as good as the original fear was, everything outside of the graphics have been tone down.

WHAT?!?! Fear is awesome! Fear 2 is much better, but Fear is awesome!

Edit- The Fear2 demo convinced me to buy it first day.
