Kinetic action to psychological horror, F.E.A.R. 2 is better than the first!

User Rating: 9 | F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin PS3
F.E.A.R. 2 is a brilliant game which combines 2 elements - Great action and chilling psychological horror. You get lots of frantic shooting and at times, half a level of nerve jangling terror. They fit perfectly with each other to provide a solid first-person shooter. The weapons are cool and when you use the slow motion feature the gory gunfights are even better. From blowing enemies up with the shotgun to chopping them up with a laser there is loads of variety to dispatch your foes. There are lots of creepy environments to keep you on your toes, like a hospital (with zombie-like experiments loose) and an abandoned school (freaky phantoms charging at you in pitch black). But most scary of all is Alma - a deranged child with fury for revenge and she wants you! She appears quickly, and at those times thats when it will make you jump, when you least expect it.
