Evening gents, I hope you're all bright eyed busy tailed after Australia Day yesterday.

Now, ahem, I would like people to guess what score FEAR 2 will get on Gamespot and what you think it deserves.

I think the game will get 8.5+ on Gamespot given the first game got 9.1 (I can't believe its a point under HL2 but that just my 2 cents).

EDIT: The person who gets the correct score will be showered in glory. And you will also be treated to my very own brand of frosty chocolate ice-cream.

Oh I agree - but prior to that demo - this game was in many people's top 4 games of the year and one of the first games they were most likely to buy for 09! If it does flop, it will not be a good start to the year, but we shall see.

I agree, most of the great games coming out this year are sequeals so if FEAR 2 does flop well, I'll be tracking games a little more carefully. But I think FEAR 2 will be a good solid game, most of the negativity coming from the demo is either petty, doesn't make sense, or just unwarranted hatred towrads FEAR 2 for some reason or another. Monolith has never failed me before, can't imagine they would start with this.

I'm expecting at least a 8.0 from Gamespot. Judging by the demo I'd say a 7.5 personally.

Depends how much money Gamespot gets. :P But, seriously, I say maybe an 8.0 at the highest. I thought it was decent, but not worth full price.

So you think GS will take into account things like originality this time given they've already played the first game and the lack of lean keys etc? Mmm Jason Ocampo reviewed the first FEAR - probably because he seems to really like ballistics and realistic weapons - he also gave STALKER 8.5.

haha true and stalker was a joke compared to the original offering in 5 years development, simply it get 8.5 because of the rest games around it, judging by that we can predict a bad score for fear but again its a bad year fpr fps... as for jason, he also reviewed crysis, hat had awful ballistics.. but i bet it will get a low score because kevin v will review as usual...

I'd say they'd give it 8, i'm giving it 6 if they didn't fix the problems with the demo, which they probably didn't.

I'll be original and go for 8.5 too. Actually, that's what I'd have guessed before I'd even heard anything about it.

8.5 isn't a bad guess for GS.

To me, some technical issues aside, from the demo it feels like an 7.5-8.0 game which is actually disappointing. As biggest_loser mentioned, this was a top anticipated game for a number of people this year.

Not to say it can't be fun though, at least in some respects, it most certainly can. Scoring in the 8's if that truly is the case isn't bad by any means.

I'm predicting 7.5, some crap about the game not being new enough... and I will totally disagree with the review and probably end up giving it a 9.5 or 10. I really, really liked FEAR and from the demo it seems as if they took the same formula and ramped it up.

I think it will get an 8, which I think is fair, the mechanics, and frame of the game, is wellmade, but not one that follows time

FEAR 2 has to be better then FEAR.The first FEAR was made in a hurry.They didnt have time to think about the details,but in FEAR 2 they had plenty of time.The HUD is great.You all think that the demo is the same as the original.That is so wrong!!! Just play FEAR 2 when it realeses and you will find the difference between the demo.Demo is great and I think the score of FEAR 2 will be high.

honestly in the first fear they spend time to make and remake levels plus they used testers and try and re try stuff in order to lead in the final product its the sequel that looks pretty cheap...

First review : PC Zone UK - 80%
What it adds - the more capacious level design, the daylight, the mech bits, the cover system - doesn't amount to much more than a garnish of new ideas on an old chicken salad of a game. But as I said, the magic of F.E.A.R. is certainly in position. That basic pleasure of time slowing, of watching a death ballet unfold as glass shatters, masonry crumbles and bodies cartwheel with morbid elegance - it's all intact, and it's as incredible to behold as ever.PCZoneUK

BINGO! FEAR was good as far as graphics, AI, and gun play go. But the story was weak and NOT being able to aim down the sights was kind of a let down. I dont think its fair to be judging FEAR 2 based on the demo since there is a lot we dont know about the game. It could have a solid story this time around and HOPEFULLY more interaction with other characters and maybe a little back story on the protagonist. I think the gun play is better in FEAR 2 compared to the original, and the film grain adds a nice effect to the overall graphics. There are a couple things i dont like about the demo, one being that you cannot map button 4 or 5 on a gaming mouse. im pretty sure thats just the demo but lets hope so. and i wasnt able to use health packs, dunno if that happened to anyone else but the default "z" wasnt working for some reason. Then there is the HUD, which everyone seems to be complaining about, i liked it, but did anyone notice that it looks like fisheye lense? Like if you move the mouse left or right, the image stretches in the direction you're rotating. I noticed it anyway but i have a 4:3 monitor so maybe thats why.

8.5-9.0.. FEAR 2 has improved in every way from its predeccessor (aside from no leaning but that can be modded/patched pretty easy).. The game imo is much scarier, the great gunplay is still there.. The game did feel alittle easy but I am sure it will get harder, afterall people this is just the demo, not to mention that the game may have harder difficulties that we didn't see in the demo.. And it has fixed one of its major problems in being able to vary its enviroments, something that didn't quite bother me but bothered other people.

Maybe he means that critics put too much praise on the gunplay when the rest of FEAR (at least IMO) was really average.
