I was born and raised on horror, loved it. Movies, books, games, anything that can scare the hell out of me, I loved it all. I am also a hardcore FPS. 95% of my games are all FPS's. So with that said, the original F.E.A.R. was like a godsend. I loved it! it was the best of both worlds for me. F.E.A.R. 1 had its few flaws, but I still loved it! So I already pre-ordered F.E.A.R 2 and I will be picking it up on release day. The game looks amazing!! I just hope its twice as scary as the first!!

How about everyone else, are you guys getting it? If not, why?

It's very likely that I'll get it as FEAR and FEAR Files were both awesome. I'll play the demo tonight and that will give me my yes or no final answer.

I might get it, but most likely not. I'll rent it if it only has MP via XBL; otherwise, there are plenty of other games that offer off-line co-op and MP that I'd rather spend my money on.

Getting it for sure, playing Fear now and the atmosphere is intense, was playing bioshock and got right up the last level but have dumped it since getting Fear, Yeah enemies lack variety and so do environ but gunplay is 1st class and play it late and it'll spook you more than once or twice! PS the new penetrator ammo looks cool in glowing blue loved going back up to dead guys and checking out all the metal spikes in them LOL

I loved FEAR! So I definitely plan on getting the second one. I still have yet to play Extraction Point though, so I think I'll do a FEAR playthrough, play the expansion, and THEN get FEAR 2. I played the original on PC, but this second iteration looks to be geared a bit more towards consoles, so I haven't decided yet on which version I'm going to get. I do like playing on my TV with a 5.1 surround sound system, but if I ever want to play multiplayer, most Xbox 360 mp games die within a few months when the newest game comes out.. but there are always people playing the original FEAR multiplayer on PC. Tough call...

Yeah I had the same problem with the MP. I got the original F.E.A.R a few months after its release and by then no one was playing it so I only had it for the campaign. But then again I only got the game for the campaign and the campaign is amazing it was totally worth it! I got it for the 360 btw lol

I'm not getting it; the market is flooded with FPS's. I have The Orange Box, Mirror's Edge, Bioshock, FarCry 2, and Halo 3; I think I'm covered. I also don't scare easily; it's not because I have nerves of steel, but because I can usually predict "scary" moments. I played the demo and thought it was a decent enough game. I even got scared once; I heard this crackly-step sound to my right, look over and -AHHH!- scary-thin woman in my face.

The first FEAR was scary as hell and the story line was pretty good. The controls were easy and the shooting wasnt lame at all, im totally getting FEAR 2 as long as i feel its going to deliver like the first one

Absolutely. Have this game on preorder. The first one is one of my favorite games. Doesn't hurt that the demo was sick.

I thought the first FEAR was just average, nothing special. I won't be picking this one up, maybe a rent.

Maybe but my backlog of games is so huge that I might just wait until I beat some of the games I already own.

Hahah it really is, theres been a few games that I pre-ordered that weren't as good as the money I spent, but even if its just as good as the original F.E.A.R., its still worth the money

I never thought game was scary at all.. the first game was kinda boring.. it's like a typical FPS.. I mean I beat the game, and I only had like 70 points of gamerscore worth added to my achievement list.. I mean the the main thing that bothered me was that the achievements are terrible, and the game.... Well there is nothing unique about it, the only even sucked. I might rent this one if anything

Nope. I found FEAR to be boring, pointless, and it wasn't scary at all. So I won't be getting FEAR 2.

yea the only downside for this game coming out so soon is that i have other games that i haven't even started that i'm looking forward to playing, but it didn't help cuz i just got my 360 back in late spring and a lot of games were coming out that i wanted and a lot that were already out so i've been in "catch up" mode so that i can get the games i already have played in time for new ones to come out, lol

Possibly, Killzone 2 comes out not much longer after so I'm probably going to save my money for that. Or I'll get both, not decided yet.

F.E.A.R. scared the living s*** out of me. If I have extra money left over I might buy F.E.A.R. 2. I still have to play the demo though, right now I'm too busy with skate 2.

Just played the demo and was impressed.

Graphics are ok, reminded me of and update version of HL2 with better lighting. AI was very dumb. It fought not too badly once engaged but I was able to walk right up to enemies and shoot them in the back on multiple occasions. Are they deaf?

Controls were GREAT, very fluid. Sound was weak I thought and the guns didn't sound badass. The horror part isn't my cup althought the spooky part of well done however those events are scripted and the game seems linear because of that. I'm expecting and 80-85% average score. I might get it once price drop if multiplayer is fun.

0I don't understand how you thought the AI was dumb, they are very very smart, very good and flanking and flushing. And to your "are the deaf?" comment, you must've just been lucky cause I was 10 feet away from this guy who hadn't noticed I was there and melee'd NOTHING on accident and he all the sudden heard something and then started shooting at me so in my time playing the demo the AI actually had like super sonic hearing. And even though the horror parts are scripted, can you honestly think of another way to make something scary without scripting it? The scripting is so well done that its actually almost astonishing how fluid the horror moments and how they almost seem alive! The triggers are bloody amazing and you never miss a single horror moment because of how well the triggers for the horror is. I honestly just beat the demo, and had to actually play it again because it was just that good, and the horror moments still kinda freaked me out! I already had the game pre-ordered before I even played the demo but after playing it, I can't think of a single game coming out within the next few months that has been better done than F.E.A.R 2

I'll most likely be getting it. Playing the demo tomorrow morning will give me my final answer.
