Pros: Fun and scary, interesting weapons, strange storyline. Small but dedicated group of players, not many play this game on Xbox Live.

Cons: Other, more popular FPS games to play instead...

Other Thoughts: I bought this just to play the free Toy Soliders map pack. Just like playing the de_rats maps on Counter Strike, where you are a tiny guy in an oversized operating room or playground sandbox.

Pros: somewhat scarry, but easy gameplay

Cons: way too easy, finished it in 2 days having never played this series before

Other Thoughts: booooooooooooooooo

Pros: I loved the graphics,game play,and it was alittle scary as well.I haven't played the first one yet but I was very pleased with this game and how they created everything and wrote the story line an all 5 At rating for me..

Cons: I wish they would have had more bullets and ammo laying around.Quite a few times I ran out of ammo and had to use the slow mo feature and kill the enemy with a head shot thanks for that or else I was dead. Other than that I thought it was alittle hard not too easy and a great over all game.

Pros: Better graphics than the first 2 F.E.A.R. titles. Scary.

Cons: Shorter campaign than I would have liked. I'm not big on multiplayer stuff.

Pros: This game is genuinely scary. Don't be fooled by the gimmicks of other games like Dead Space, this game will scare the **** out of you. I've heard tons of people say it's not really scary, etc. They're liars. I've personally watched three of these "not scared" people jump up and nearly drop the paddle, descending into a frenzy of panic fire. It's scary as hell.

Alma is back in a big way. The folks at Monolith have taken their very creepy concept and improved upon it with much better dynamic lighting and physics. The dazzling special effects really make this game worth the money.

Lots of new enemies and variation, a vast improvement over the first game's monotony.

Cons: It's too d***ed easy. I died once, from start to finish in all of the 7hrs it took me to beat it. Hard mode killed me three times.

The price is a bit high. If the price bugs you, wait to get it used or buy it for PC.

The multiplayer achievements are a bit too hard.

Well, you'll only notice this con if you were a fan of the previous F.E.A.R. otherwise, ignore this section.

They've nerfed melee! It's no longer the amazing frenzy of death it was in the first game. And at least on the 360 there isn't even a slide tackle!

Other Thoughts: Multiplayer is a bit simpler than the previous game, but it's almost made up for with the improved 'feel' of multiplayer combat.

Storyline & battles are a bit bland in the beginning, wade through it! It's more than made up for in the second half.

Pros: Excellent graphics a big step up from the first FEAR.
Excellent sound and atmosphere.
The walker levels were a blast.
Nice detailed maps and creepy areas made this game a blast to play.

Cons: Too short. Expect to finish this in 10-12 hours tops.
The flashlight!!! What is up with this flashlight? Did they put low batteries in this thing? I spent way too much time in dark areas fumbling around because the flashlight was barely bright enough to see anything. As nice as the maps are you would think they would like you to see them. Very frustrating.

Too easy. While this game is really fun to blast through it is way too easy.

The ending. I won't give a spoiler, but lets just say it was very anti-climactic

Other Thoughts: If you played the first FEAR and liked it then you will like this one. FEAR 2 is pretty much exactly like the original. You have the same weapons (sub, assault rifle, nailgun sniper) and a couple of prototypes. If I remember right though the original FEAR maybe had a better selection of weapons, but it has been a long time since I played it.
Unless your planning on playing MP I suggest renting this one. I finished the game in 2 short sessions.
