  • I must say the game is not bad, but the mistery from the original has been spoiled. The AI is shit, though the graphics still look awesome until today, if we compare the original fear to fear 2 the AI is the first thing that comes to my mind, where enemies were able to ambush you, on fear 2 that doesnt happen, enemies are dumb and weaker. If fear 1 hadn't had the slow mow effect many kids would be crying for the difficulty of the same, anyway fear 1 was chellenging

  • is this game powered by steam ?

  • I hate to say it guys, but everything he said is absolutely true. He didnt say he hated it, he just said it was an average entertaining shooter but not as good as the original. Honestly, how can you say that FEAR 2 surpasses the amazingness of FEAR 1?

    +fun shooting mechanics

    +more diverse level design

    -mediocre story and WTF ending

    -weak-feeling weapons

    -cheap trick scares

    -enemies glow in slowmotion

    -graphic effects are more "cartoonized"

  • @LordXehenniar the scares are "cheap" cause u have seen them already in fear 1.. wich is normal. but fear 2 surpasses fear 1 easy.. for 1 simple reason.. the area`s u get to recon and search are not all the same. like in fear 1

  • @LordXehenniar And armour every three steps and health packs (well maybe not that often but you get my drift).

  • Two things disappointed me in FEAR 2: 1. the enemy light up effect of slow motion and 2. the disappointingly weakass shotgun after using the beastly shotgun in FEAR. Otherwise this game gets a lot more hate than it deserves.

  • disappointing ending? wat was he expecting hardcore porn? i played this game n fear 3 n i feel like fear 2 is better than fear 3

  • and i dont understand what the problem with the graphics is. even today it looks amazing

  • This review is so shit!

  • @GAZGHOST123 it was a good ending for us and for becket too :)))

  • @TheMaximizator I'm actually not sure becket liked it. it IS Alma!

  • No one likes you, so go away!

    

  • @JustinTheChamp he didnt say that infamous 2 was crap but lackluster compared to the original same with this game so shut up douchebag

  • This review is full of bullshit.

  • This guy dont know shit

  • This guy is fucking stupid...every review he does he always looks at the negitives, Pestemestic reviewer. This is the same Jaggoff that did Infamous 2 n said that game was crap n the story was bad....

    WRONG!

    Fucking moron

  • Wheres Jeff Gerstmann and Alex Navarro when you need them

  • so Alma helps you somewhat?

  • Disappointing ending!? Is this guy retarded!? That was a good ending!!!

  • @MrFishiz haha I know

  • this guy is FULL OF SHIT.

  • to keep it scary, they should have kept the little girl, a flabby grey woman just isnt scary...

    also they could have made you more vulnerable, nothing beats scary like a turbo suit and an endless arsenal of projectiles

    advice id give to new players; before you start, turn your gamma down to below the normal amount, that will actually allow for jumpy moments to actually make you jump, instead of you seeing them coming a mile off

  • whats up with the shite quality

  • im sorry,fear 2 is NOT SCARY AT ALL play dead space and tell me that this game is scary in any way

  • @daawesomeness34 I'm sorry but dead space isn't scary at all hahaha try amnesia if you want a scary game

  • @daawesomeness34 dead space isint scary at all the 2nd one like 1 part

  • One thing I must say is, please make kid Alma taller. In level 1, I found I couldn't walk forward through a door. I looked down and realized that Alma was blocking my path.

  • what the fuck this guy is crazy this si an anwsome game you fatass!!!

  • worse video review I've ever seen in my entire life. You suck big fat geek.

  • why reviewers dont know shit about games and gamers know it? because we ARE GAMERS not cunt reviewers

  • ArmaSHAM? what the fuck top?

  • Oh yeah and also the graphics in fear 2 are good, but not gritty like fear one. I recomend fear 1 but not fear 2

  • Fear 2 didnt scare me at all. Fear 2 is mediocre in my opinion. First Encounter Assaut Recon (The First F.E.A.R) is way better. Fear scared the hell out of me. Fear had amazing graphics in its day, and fear 2 multiplayer was generally shit in my opinion. In fear one me and my clan we competitive and we had loads of fun in multiplayer.

    Fear 2 just isnt a true sequel, and I dont think fear 3 will be as well.

  • @bigbones76 both of the fears are great but the first one is scarier but the second one has more action and better graphics i think your wrong

  • Fear was a game that relied on atmosphere and unnerving moments to scare you.

    Fear 2 scares were reduced to quick time events.

  • Anyone that likes FEAR 2 is A. a fucking pussy or B. hasn't played FEAR 1 which makes them a dickhead.

  • If you've played the first game you wouldn't have voted "dislike" for this review. FEAR 2 was quite a disapointment with a few good moments scattered within.

  • not scarier then dead space

  • Yeah... the both FEARs were damn scary. Play them with headphones on, in the middle of the night and then you can enjoy FEAR.

  • fear 1 was ultra gay.

  • @TurtLePimpin

    lol i hope you are trolling or i fear that you can never appreciate good games.

    i mean really fear 1 was ultra gay? what was gay about it?

  • @TurtLePimpin put "fear sucks" in the youtube search and click on it

  • F.E.A.R=FUCK EVERYTHING AND RUN

  • @link6181 shut the fuck up fag that isnt funny and isnt original piss off

  • FEAR 1 ftw :P i like Fear 1 better than 2

  • is it me or is this guy gay ?

  • FEAR inst scary!

    if u like scary movies :P

  • I agree with Kevin (the reviewer). This game wasn't nearly as scary as the first, the paranormal effects got boring quickly. The graphics aren't that great.

  • Hell it's 2010 and this game still has some of the best graphics ever so he's an idiot when he says its not up to "modern" standards... Oh well, I love the F.E.A.R. series and am looking forward to F.E.A.R. 3.

  • EVERYONE SAYS FEAR 2 ISN'T Scary!????????? I beat they just said that to cover up that they just SHT THEIR PANTS!

  • It's too bad that none can understand that sequels are always better. The reason we all like originals more is simply because with the original it was the first time we played a games like this. The names says it, "original". FEAR 2 is deffinitelly a better game

  • is it just me or does anyone else do this when you played FEAR or any scary game

    -you know something scary will happen, but you pause the game for like 1-2mins and go back to it,

    once something scary happened and i shut the game off completely and played it during the day :P

    DONT JUDGE ME!! :D

  • "the somewhat scary".....

    the whole thing scared the shit out of me, scariest game ever!!!!!

  • @halfdude

    Xbag, what the fuck is that?

  • GAMESPOT = where the worst video reviews at..

  • all these peeps who say fear 2 is scary obviously never played the original 

  • @feelinf1ne its very rich has a good story and fun tho

  • @Sataribus Not compared to the original.

  • @feelinf1ne i've played the first FEAR but both are scary, havent beat the 2nd one, brought it back to store(rent) because i was stuck at a part, but im going to rent it again

  • @feelinf1ne Fear 1 was a joke.. all hallways where exact the same.. it was very very boring.. Fear 2 is the best in the series

  • FEAR: Fuck Everything And Run!

  • HE JUST SAID THIS GAME HAD A DISSAPOINTING ENDING!

    I HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR GAMESPOT! THE ENDING WAS INCREDIBLE.

  • @demonic790

    So u lost ur "respect" to them because they didn't agree with u? Fucked up dude.

  • @Wofaze

    Have you playe the game you dumb fuck?

  • i just literally got this game maybe 1 hr ago. waiting till evening drop, home theater speakers volume to be raised, and a nice glass a wine next to me......oh yea, lets see how it will be. Fear 1 was cool, but this looks way better and updated. I always wanted to check it out and finally got it at just 20 bucks. Soooo lets see how it is...

  • I think the issue here is that firstly; the first one was too awesome to compare with and secondly; the reviewer is simply not sadistic enough to truly enjoy those moments of blood and heads and other things flying around.

    The negative things that the reviewer mentions might be somewhat true, but there is much awesomeness packed into other aspects of the game, so I wouldn't agree with the review. IMO I loved it. Even the ending. :)

  • 1st fear doesn't scare me but fear 2 makes me piss my pants, why does the review practically say that this game is crap?!?!?!?!?!?!

  • bad review of an awesome fps game. i personally thought that the ending was really cool, i only wish the campaign was a little bit longer. i haven't played the first FEAR so i think i might try it out, and maybe i'll also try the dlc for FEAR 2.

  • I finished the game just moments ago, it wasreally good, the ending suked though,thats all i'll say, and the campiagn was really short, but besides that it was good 8.8/10

  • i love this game, i think its better then the first

  • The reviewer sucks ass, what a prick!!

  • I just got this game and i have to say, this guy is full of shit.

  • @9mmStudios I've played the original game and have had this game for a long time and all I can say, you're full of shit, go back to your Xbag.

  • @9mmStudios actually i think this review is perfect.

    i mean except for funny things like cortana's voice being in it.

    this was just an abomination when you compare it to the first game.

    it is a FPS with a few scary points. it just isnt FEAR.

  • lol, he just doesnt like the game, so he says things that arent true at all

  • every single bad point the reviewer mentioned i disagree with except his point about the "disappointing ending". The ending is like WTF? not gonna spoil it.

    that said it scared the crap outta me but didnt want to stop me playing. the campaign is awesome and the multiplayer is ok too.

  • How did he say it was atmospheric, then say it wasn't?

    What the...

  • ign and gamespot are such asses. they never give a good game a good score. even if its not one of the best known games in the fps genre it doesnt mean it isnt worth it!

  • we each have a different opinion.

    I mean some of us have probably played so many horror games that FEAR2 was nothing to us

    Or for others this game could have been scary as hell because we havent really played that many horror games

    MY POINT: each opinion varies on the person thats playing

    :

  • dude ...he says its not scary i shat my self over 10 times in the demo version and got too scared to open doors

  • this guy doing the review is such a doucher

  • Gamespot and IGN suck.

  • Comment removed

  • @JakChrist omg ur right

  • @JakChrist then who doesn't?

  • @JakChrist If you don't like IGN or Gamespot reviews, who do you like? xPlay? And also, just because they rated a game less then what you expected doesn't mean that they are "bad", "terrible", or "suck", it just means that you disagree w/ them

  • Comment removed

  • F.E.A.R

    fuck every american retard

  • Haha nice one:)

  • hehehe nice!

  • Let's hope I forget I heard this stupid and pointless review that shows jack shit. This guy's stupid fag voice is so retarded, and so not appropriate for reviewing horror FPS, drop dead fat ass douche! Go jogging a bit u fat bacon instead of playing all day and night

  • Why are you weting your diaper over this dumbass reviewer? Who gives a shit what they say. There opinion is no more important then any gamer you argu with on the internet.

  • I suggest Gamespot that you get someone who isnt a mindless twat to do your reveiws for you, fear 1 was a mediocre shooter and the scary parts were far too predictable, fear 2 gives us more variety of enemys than the first one did and the scay scenes were much better given the new graphics. obviously im not the only one who thinks this due to the rateing this video has. /palm

  • relax dude its just a persons opinion take it easy lots of people like fear 2 btw gamestop sells it brand new for 20 bucks so for those who dont have it or like me had it then sold it (haha) go pick it up a must have for fps fans!!

  • youre right, youre not the only one. btw i agree with him fear1 was indeed better imo, and im not the only one that thinks so. i gave the vid 5 stars

  • hey if its fear 2 wouldnt it be

    fist encounter assault recon 2 project origin...that sounds pretty lame

  • no cause your not in the FEAR team in this game.

  • Sorry i couldnt understand what that guy said what is the meaning of the letters F.E.A.R?

  • first encopunter assault recon

  • what a douche.....fear 2 is so much more scarier than the first but the 1st one is more action run a gun whith the side pockets for creepyness. i love fear 2

  • lol i wasnt a big fan of fear but fear 2 is just awesome!!

  • Wow this guys a faggot..This game rocks hard! And everyone should get it! Even 3 year old kids dammit! Seriously though, this is my favorite game.

  • yeah gamespot isn't that accurate with reviews ... i felt the same 'bout the prey review .

  • I wouldn't recomend the game for 3 year-old's... Especially beacause of the ending O.O

  • the first fear's environment was an abomination to my eyes. fear 2 improved on that. at the cost of fear 1's intense gory (bodies could rip apart, heads go flying, blood spatters the wall. you probably left behind more gruesome dead people than alma! in fear 1)

    but the environment. fear 2 improved SO MUCH on that, and i guess that makes up for the lost gunplay.

  • i agree, killzone 2 graphics are somewhat rubbery especially the guns

  • lol

  • F.E.A.R. 2 is a great game, improved from the first F.E.A.R.!

    Gamespot's score is 7.0/10 beacause this is the same bitch that reviewed Mirror's Edge, and we know that that review was a fail.

  • This game is way better for the gameplay aspects,but for the horror part of the game,I found F.E.A.R. scarier.

  • good horror game but the reviewers suck

  • this review sucks

  • they remove the slow mo from multiplayer to make it more fair!

  • This is an awesome game, i have played all the fear games and this is seriously good, dont be put off by this review.

  • guys if u liked 1st one i bet u ll love this one.its very intensive scary game....i wish it had a cover system like GOW,graphics aint very great but just fine.

  • im gonna get this game ut im confused. Im a big fan of F.E.A.R. 1 and both its expansions but how is alma appearing so much in this game if she was meant to be appearing just as much to the original point man in etraction point?

  • I don't agree with the review here, I HATED the first F.E.A.R. with its many bugs and glitches, cliched characters, and the sense of "you're alone" was pushed to far. the graphics were great back when it first released but most of the area's are the same backgrounds and ect. multiplayer in the first game felt broken and unbalanced but I had my share of scares. The problem with most people who review a game is that the people listen to them think that since the reviewer says it's bad, it must be.

  • These guys according to the text review gave it a lower rating because it was TOO SCARY? and because they apparently think it's a copy of another game... Gamespot is pathetic.

  • i know gamespot sucks =/ the game is awesome wwho cares what gamespot says XD

  • gay review!!

  • Guys honest opinions, is the multiplayer to this any good? I usually get games for great multiplayer.

  • kane and lynch review

  • People should take reviews that seriously...after all...what exactly is it about these guys makes you think they know the game any better than you? The only reason I watch them is to give me an idea of what to expect. But at the end of the day...what are these reviews? It's just one guy's opinion.

    The sad part is that that "one guy's" opinion is probably influenced by who's giving them the most money or who paid for the most advertisement.

  • Oops...that's should NOT**

  • amen to that

  • dude, this game is fucking awesome! i'm so obsessed with it and want to play so bad but my xbox is whack and can't handle the game so it freezes a lot. gah! but, what i have played of the game is great.

  • lol send it in,i had it to some time ago,you will get youre box back within a week with a free month

  • the dude that reviewed this is a huge faggot. :/

  • These guys know nothing about the game at 3 min they said three things wrong about the game

  • wow wtf fear 2 graphics are fucking amazing

    god seems the only reviews i can actually trust is from game informer magazine

    other reviewers now are just utter shit i cant stand this anymore

  • I think people should judge games for themselves and not even bother visiting these review sites, as they just talk utter bullshit and are mainly in it for the money. Gamespot nearly allways says the opposite thing to IGN (in all the reviews, at least 1 thing is said to be the opposite). And also, there is a lack of good reviewers who know what they are actually doing in a game (this guy has obviously not played this for more than 15 mins at least).

  • And gamespot are definatly biast, remember when they fired that guy for giving kane and lynch a bad score? Trust your own thaughts people, never trust ANY review site.

  • ohh and who evers playing the game in this review Sucks Balls and doesnt know what hes saying!!

  • I like the game and still think this is a waste of comment space. God, it's just like KZ2.

    @Czar- I liked it. The original F.E.A.R. was wonderful in that sense, especially after playing Doom 3 as much as I did. There was this subtle edge to it, in stark contrast to the monster closets everywhere. PO kinda lost a lot of that, unfortunately, but the neat thing is that there's *randomization,* and that's all I'm going to say :)

  • im getting sick of game review sites!!

  • my question is, will it scare me, i was looking for a good game that wouldnt let me sleep for weeks. i was hoping dead space might do it, it was a good game, it truly was, but it didnt scare me. will this game be scary? i never played the first, so i dont know. plz dont yell at me beeing all,"dead space was scary as fuck" obviously i have lost that feeling for it. let me knoe ur opinions and if its worth buying, i dont what to end up with another FPS that is only a good shooter but nothing else.

  • This one's kinda scary play with the lights off and the volume really loud then yeah it'll scare the shit out of you, only because every now and then things pop out, but nontheless it's a good shooter

  • this baldo bearded fuck doesnt know shit, armaSHAM wtf is armasham its said like ARMACAM or armacamp not SHAM

    besides this review sucks the game is good worth a 8 at least

  • I have this game and this is the most precise and honest review i've seen yet. true story. i think the first fear was better.

  • The graphics are amazing, you fucking moron.

  • they don't compare to killzone 2 or halo 3.

  • Halo 3's grapics suck hard, dude, you must be blind.

    XD

  • O_o

  • You don't agree?

  • I can't see that good to begin with but I do agree with you now. I don't know why I said Halo to begin with...

  • Ok, I was a little harsh.

    The graphics are fine. I'm just too used to Crysis I guess.

    I'm sure that if it comes to PC it'll be better.

  • pc version was the one i was talking about lol. crysis is good too with a good pc

  • Halo 3 has a PC version? When did that happen O_o

  • it's been on the pc and xbox/360 at the same release dates

  • I'll have to look for it then, I gotta see it.

  • what the heck, this review was the complete opposite of all the other ones I've seen 4 this game

  • man this guy is a tard

  • i played the demo is it a great FPS

  • gamespot 'tard is wrong about multiplayer. other than Mechanized Front, theres this game type called Blitz. its basically speed CTF on a close quarters map.

    but the singleplayer isnt as scary as the original FEAR because Alma is already known to fuck shit up wherever she goes. dont get me wrong though, the intense slowmo gunplay/ mech riots are loads of fun, but the game lacks that "awesomeness" found in the original FEAR.

    strong gameplay, weak singleplayer, fun multiplayer. better on pc

  • gamespot sucks bombs

  • I really don't give a shit what game sites say, it's nothing but bullshit. cause if you look at Xplay and their review of Gears of War and Turok, you'll noticed they gave Turok a 3/5 and complained through out most of the review about the lack of auto-aim. and yet they gave Gears of War a 5/5 and it didn't have auto-aim either! and also in their review for Killzone 2, that game didn't have auto-aim as well, and they mentioned that the controls would take bit longer to respond, but gave it 5/5

  • Played it, I love it. Some how it's not that scary to me, maybe it's because I've wanted SAW 2 not too long ago.

  • Look at 5:09 the guy playing doesn't even know how to crouch. How can you do a review if you haven played enough that even you cant Crouch GAMESPOT IS A LIE

  • So if you dont crouch, its a shit review?

  • If you don't even know the basic about the controls how can you even do a review?

  • I totally agree that the first game is better! In every single aspect the first game is better. It did have better shootouts, better storyline, more misterious, I even liked the environments better than the 'more varied' environments from the second part. On top of this are the mech parts, they are just plain crap and don't add anything to the game and only takes you out of the little creepiness it has. And why are there mechs scattered through the city anyways and so on. I could go on forever.

  • this review is utter BS.

    f.e.a.r 2 is much more scary, the spooks are less expected. and the shooting is way better than the 1st game.

    and the graphics are absalutly perfect. BUY THIS GAME PEOPLE.

  • people are far too harsh on gamespot. i just wrapped up my video review last night, search for imtylerdurden99, and i was utterly shocked to see how many similarities my review had in common with gamespot. this is the most accurate review out of any of the official sites. im a die hard monolith fan and a huge fan of the first fear, but fear 2 was a rather big letdown. sure, its a straightforward and decent fps, but not as remarkable or memorable as the original. check out my video review

  • Gamespot sucks.. sigh.. xD

  • this guy's fucking stupid. how does gamespot always fuck up reviews?

  • this guy is a dumbshit asshole he says that the environment are disappoining when the first game was 95% office buildings which gave me the living shits. all i saw in the first fear pretty much was just fettel and alma walking around corners and magically disappering i didn't find that scary. in the the second one they actually make you jump. he's letting the his love over the first one cloud his judgement. i have one more thing to say and that is "fuck you kevin vandro"

  • wow, good luck in life.  And if you must know, i'm Romanian Gypsy. And i've put a horrible curse on you. enjoy the rest of your miserable life.

  • p.s. that message is for nuitaridark for calling us "fuck you black slut nigass"

  • I'll say here and now-

    This guy didn't play FEAR 2, he's just making claims he did. If he had he'd know the game is balls to the wall in every way FEAR was, it's fun, and the game is more varied and consistent then the original. Especially with telling a story this time around.

    The original holds more weight with me due to what it was, and how fresh it was at the time, but in terms of a action packed FPS experience that will scare you in more then one good way, FEAR 2 is a game worth owning.

  • still think you should do a video review to show us all the things you enjoyed in full detail

    now that would be a monumental video

  • yeah, i feel like the gamestop people just think they know more than they are. idk, im lookin for the damn gametrailers review i prefer gametrailers.

  • Comment removed

  • This is the same douche who gave Mirror's Edge a 7.0 or 7.5 (I forget). What the fuck is up with this guy?

  • this fat guy sounds so gay its not even funny

  • thanks for an honest review

  • wow the worste review ever dude this game is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyy better than the original fn fatass i stopped listning to these guys when they gave MGS4 a perfect 10.
