I really liked the first Fear game, I also had mixed reactions to it also, but in the end it came out to be a great game. So I couldn't wait for Fear 2: Project Origin, I'm a little disappointed with some reviews for it though. I for one think it's a great game better than the first one was, I don't know maybe it's just me that thinks that.

The good:
Once again you got the awesome story being delivered to you, it really keep me interested in it all the way through I never got bored with it one bit. If you like the story from the first game that you'll really enjoy this one to.

The graphics and sound are really nice, all of the environment and characters look great. They all got a lot of detail in them. The sound just adds to the game and makes it more fun, all of the weapons sound great and sound real. Everything you'll hear just sounds great and that's the bottom line.

The level design is good much like the first though which isn't a bad thing at all. The AI is better than what it was in the first game which is a plus. Just a great FPS it's not the best but it's defiantly great.

The bad:
It isn't really scary basically not at all, they could of at least put some things in to make you jump but they didn't.

There's some things that are left open in the story that they don't explain, that they should of done.

Overall Fear 2: Project Origin is a great game a lot better than the first one was, if you like the first you will like this one just as much are more. If your looking for scares then this is the wrong game but if your looking for a great FPS with a lot of action then your in the right place.

  In some ways better than the first, in some ways, not at all.

  Still FEAR at the core but without the scare factor or punch of the original.
