Fear, too?
I got FEAR 2 coming off of playing the first, so here's some advice: If you played FEAR 1, wait a while before playing FEAR 2. Let the fresh scent of FEAR expire a bit. Play something else to get it off your mind. Then play FEAR 2. The distance will soften the blow. FEAR 2 is a good game in isolation. It has some pretty great moments and a decently presented story. I will warn that the first third of the game is not so great, but if you can get past that, it will get better. It's a short game and its Reborn expansion is even shorter. The game plays like one would expect a post-2007 console shooter would play like, which is to say a lot of winding linear corridors. I played on Hard difficulty and it can be cheap and tedious especially if you expect close combat, which isn't really viable. Some weapons stop being useful after a while, like the pistol, SMG, and shotguns, and others are broken when used efficiently, like the sniper rifle. You'll be keeping the AR on hand at all times while keeping the other toys for other special purposes, especially since you can hold four weapons at a time. The game's best set of levels are definitely the school. It is surprisingly well-designed and is the crown jewel of the game. If nothing else, it is worth experiencing. If you like first person shooters and want something that's decent and interesting, I give FEAR 2 a base recommendation. Buy it when it goes on sale. If you have decided to not take my advice, if you love FEAR with all your heart, then 2 will leave you heartbroken. It's not a good sequel. It's a decent enough game, but if you're coming off of one of the greatest games of all time, then it has a long list of negatives. It is less complex in its gameplay loop, is less fun, the narrative may as well be a reboot, the presentation is a net negative despite having pretty good graphics, and the level design kinda sucks. It's worth a few bucks for what it is, but is overall less than the sum of its parts.
