Little Girls are officially much scarier than anything. I never played the first F.E.A.R or F.E.A.R Files but I was very aware of the main antagonist, namely Alma. A creepy little girl who is very much like the girl from the movie The Ring. I was also very worried when I found out that the developers that made F.E.A.R 2 also made the Condemned games. I was already scared I hadn't even put the disc in the tray.
F.E.A.R 2 is a First Person Shooter that revolves around Sgt. Michael Becket, a Soldier in the First Encounter Assault Recon (F.E.A.R) Squad who is sent in to arrest a woman named Genivive Artiside, who is responsible for something called Project Harbinger. Harbinger is a programme involving turning soldiers in puppets who are controlled telepathically from a Psychic Commando (intense stuff ain't it?). Anyway, you play the guy who didn't get all mentally messed up by getting exposed to all the psychosis stuff whereas all your pals freaked out and couldn't take it. Now I didn't fully understand the story, so I'm probably going to have to Wikipedia it and find out what happened in the first game but until then I'll put it as simply I as I think I can: This psycho woman Alma is hunting you down because you're a threat to her, you have to get to this device to "amplify your brainwaves and cause her's to overload". Now that's the story taken care of, I can tell you what I thought.
F.E.A.R 2 is pretty good shoot 'em up fun. Progressively getting harder, enemies getting tougher, more powerful weapons becoming available etc. The story is a bit hard to follow but I think it would make more sense if you played the first game (I didn't as I was put off by the Achievements). There is a very spooky, dark atmosphere about the game, even outside in the lighter areas you still walk around corners cautiously with your gun at the ready. A lack of music when playing really helps the tension as every little sound makes you turn around behind you to make sure "she" isn't there. A nice touch is that you can carry 4 weapons of any power e.g. You could have a Flamethrower, Rocket Launcher, Assault Rifle and a Sniper, and 4 Grenade Types, so explosive fun times. You even get to roam around in a mini Mech Suit, Transformers Style, and blow things and no Mo Fo can stop you. Every boy's dream. You also enter a Bullet Time Slow Motion mode and take out loads of enemies quick as a flash without getting hit but it is limited (obviously).
It's a pretty solid campaign with 14 Missions of pure ruin ur boxers moments, intense gunfights and general FPS fun. I think the horrible thing is that there are small moments, where bodies get dragged into a room and then disappear or a light falls down from the ceiling. Nothing threatening happens but you know something sooner or later is going hit you.
All in all, I would recommend this game. As long as you don't mind creepy.....creepy little girls.
