I tried the demo on my ps3 last month and i cant say it was anything spectacular, it seemed very much the same, and they also kinda forced in this mech thing, it was just kinda akward to control.

I just beat the campaign and it deserved more than a 7. I think the mp pulled down the score. They should have only focused on the single player like bioshock did.

Since when did gamespots reviews seem that right?

Fear 2 has gotten great scores from other places.

Gametrailers, 8,7

g4 4/5

So, follow gamespots if they cater to your opinion the most, but if not, then dont.

I look at other reviews also, everywhere else had higher scores so i just wanted to see what the player thought of them game instead of a reviewer

I enjoyed the demo. The game is more than a 7 for sure, at least a 8.

Although I love the first FEAR I have to wait for the game to drop price before I can purchase it. In the first FEAR I was only interested in the single player and it is no different here for FEAR 2. Paying 60$ for a less then 10 hours campaign is a pass for me but I don't mind paying maybe 30$ for it.

Yep. I'm the same way. I'll avoid playing a game sometimes because of some nervousness about whats coming up next. Its called TENSION and is a quality of REALLY GOOD GAMES. I felt this way about the FEAR 2 demo but I did not enjoy the generic hallways. Heck, I got lost for a bit and everything looked the same. I thought I fell into a Half Life 1 level somehow. Note to level designers: School/hospital looking levels where everything looks the same sucks and is unacceptable by todays standards. Felt like I was enduring some lazy level filler.

Hell no! I went on a six hour binge last night to beat it and I give it at least a 8.5 (haven't tried the mp yet). It's amazing, graphics and gameplay are tight and the story is much better put together and presented. It's easier to get achievements and the ending is much better.

This is a solid FPS. It looks good, has a clean,efficient interface and a fully developed storyline that sort of gives it a dead space feel. I like the controller layout now that Im used to it, but they don't let you customize it which was frustrating for me at first. Like the first fear, some unique gameplay is created by the slomo feature which has a heavy influence on the tatics you develop. Improved over the first fear is that they added subtitles to the radio communications so you can actually tell whats being said. I would have given the game a 7.75-8. Overall, I would put it somewhere below bioshock but not too far off. The lack of a map adds some additional challenge-my wife is completely frustrated over this one- maybe this is a reflection of that genders ability to navigate??

I'm playing through it a second time. I think it deserves a nine. My only problem with it is that it's too easy.
