Good Seqel

Overall I thought this was a decent sequel to F.E.A.R. which I loved. The story wasn't the greatest but it worked. There wasn't as many scares or spooky moments as I would've liked but that didn't rui… Read more

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin Review

F.E.A.R. 2 is a tricky game to wrap my head around. I would sometimes forget I was playing a horror game and become fully entangled in the shooter aspect of the game, feeling like I was apart of yet a… Read more

Better than first game in the series

Fear 2 Project Origin. Gameplay: First encounter assault recon was a bit repetitive in the hole campaign in my opinion. But Fear 2 project origin has definetly got better in the variety of missions in… Read more

A competent but forgettable game. Monolith is in decline.

Monolith released some memorable titles back during the Golden Era of PC Gaming. Games like No One Lives Forever, NOLF 2, Alien vs. Predator, and F.E.A.R. established Monolith is one of the pillars of… Read more

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin

FEAR 2 is an easier game than the original, and generally stuck out from the crowd less when it was released for the same reasons. FEAR was an early post- Half-Life 2 shooter that was notable for two… Read more

Stay in touch with your inner ghost-child

I've recently received the FEAR complete pack as a Christmas gift and have a completed a marathon of FEAR, its expansion packs, and its sequel. While it would not be entirely fair to review the older… Read more

Enough With the Creepy Little Girls

So Fear 2: Project Origin. Underwhelming about sums it up. Very very VERY underwhelming. I have never seen such bad level design and poor scares from a game... well yes i have, but after the first gam… Read more

Drags near the beginning but gets better and better by the end.

F.E.A.R. 2: Project is the follow-up to the amazingly satisfying horror-shooter F.E.A.R. Having enjoyed that game for its combat and tone, I was excited to see what would come of the sequel after Mono… Read more

Shouldn't You Guys Be Attacking Ethan Thomas? (Death's Door)

Well that's a terrible place to put a swing Probably since 1997, Monolith has shown it can make a good first person horror game. Over the last 5 years they have really been showing us with the Condemn… Read more

A slow motion explosion of gore

Fear 2 is dark, I don’t mean it is a black disturbing game, which it is, I am referring to the general lack of luminesce. The game is literally bathed in darkness, every environment is hidden in black… Read more

A wild ride that ultimately much more forgettable than Fear 1

The original Fear was one of the key games that got me into First Person Shooter games, and was a very memorable Horror First Person shooter to boot. Fear 2 evolves and refines the gameplay with some… Read more

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin Review

It's been a rocky road for the F.E.A.R. franchise over the last three years, squabbles over the game's ownership between Monolith and Vivendi made it seem that a true sequel with the F.E.A.R. name had… Read more

Awesome Game

The original F.E.A.R was one of the most brilliant shooters ever produced. The AI was amazing. True, the environments were a bit tedious --- corridor-mania was running WILD! --- but the game was one o… Read more

By the numbers shooter....

Fear 2 Project Origin is one of those games that has good shooting mechanics and excellent gun feedback. Just seems to be missing the soul of the game. Good story not great just seems to be messing wi… Read more

Familiar yet Entertaining Adventure Ride

Monolith continues their great tradition of throwing players into an immersive and scary world with this well executed sequel.The first person action remains largely the same with satisfying weapons,… Read more

FEAR 2 is quite a ride, despite lacking in the scares department

If a very atmospheric first person shooter is what you're looking for, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is your game. Monolith's latest in a series of creepy first person games such as Condemned and FEAR is… Read more

F.E.A.R. 2 delivers.

I don't know why I waited so long to play this one. I love the original F.E.A.R. so you'd think this would've been a no-brainer. F.E.A.R. 2 takes place concurrently (only for a short time) and during… Read more

A stupid-long review.

Two non-canonical expansions, corporate pugilism over who owns what and now it’s finally here: A true sequel to the unabashedly and gloriously over the top F.E.A.R., F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin. This i… Read more

Solid, fun gunplay is nothing to be afraid of

F.E.A.R 2 Review

F.E.A.R 2 is a direct sequel to the first F.E.A.R game, but F.E.A.R 2 does a few unusual things for a sequel; you control a different character and the game starts before the first one has finished. T… Read more

FEAR 2: Project Origin Review

F.E.A.R. 2 Review

First encounter assault recon: project origin 2 (quite a mouthful) Fear 2 begins with a group of recon soldiers going on a mission to arrest the president of the big bad evil company of the first game… Read more

A solid shooter with details but the horror part is getting stale

When F.E.A.R. came out in 2005 it brought new meaning to "survival action horror". The game played with shadows and sound like few titles before it, even rivaling the Resident Evil series in some aspe… Read more

solid shooting pulls the game past its unmotivated story

i had no expactations for F.E.A.R 2, i never played the first one, but i read up on it so i know what was going on...this game takes place, maybe thirty mins before the first ended..you play as Michae… Read more

You dont have to F.E.A.R. this sequel

*No Spoilers. This review is based on production, and gameplay.* The original F.E.A.R. came out of nowhere in 2005 and reinvented the FPS horror genre with awesome visuals, advanced AI, and a story wo… Read more

A single player to die for

Horror has always been a factor many games get wrong and so very few get right. You can name a few titles that do horror very well, but how many of them have truly made you jump in your seat? With Sil… Read more

Will you F.E.A.R. Alma again?

meaningless opinion: F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin

It’s tough to be a first-person shooter these days. You feel all high and mighty through the whole preview process, smiling in the glow of your adoring fans on the hype train. You can do no wrong—afte… Read more

A "must play." 5 out of 5.

This game is awsome. People tend to give reviews according to a trend by company critics, but seriously, if the review was based objective standards as much as possible, this game clearly is a very go… Read more

An under-rated title (spoiler alert)

I have enjoyed all of the FEAR titles (the 1st one was ground breaking) and each had it's own creepy shivers. From a story perspective FEAR 2 is wonderful. The parallel experience is a nice way to con… Read more

F.E.A.R. 2 - An Above Average Shooter with Great Atmosphere

It's been a long road for Monolith to get Project Origin out there. After separating from Sierra they lost the rights to the F.E.A.R. name but soldiered on. This forced them to go in a sideways kind o… Read more

Good shooter to keep you busy in Feb.

Just finished F.E.A.R. 2 and enjoyed it, not the best shooter out there but enough to keep my attention all the way to the end. The whole horror angle didn’t really work, it wasn’t really scary. Only… Read more

Fear Worth Inducing

I haven’t played much of the original F.E.A.R. since it first came out over three years ago, but when the sequel was announced, I was excited. I liked the idea of a cutting-edge shooter combined with… Read more

Nothing to F.E.A.R here.

I will start this review off by letting you know that I never did play the first F.E.A.R game to completion. For some reason, I just found it boring at the time, only played like two levels of it. So… Read more

F.E.A.R. 2 is a fast, fun, enjoyable & shallow experience

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin blends the best aspects of several sub genres of both film, and videogames. Monolith created a well executed product of action, thriller, horror, and creepy PG-13 ghost (The… Read more

The Only Thing We Don't Have To Fear Here Is F.E.A.R. Itself

Oh F.E.A.R. 2, you could have been so many things. You turned out to be so many things, but unfortunately so few of them are good. You placed players in the role of a new hero. This hero belongs to a… Read more

Fear 2: Project Origin

The original F.E.A.R. was a game that combined an intense, action movie-like shooter with a terrifying, atmospheric horror movie, with a story that rivals even the most dramatic flims of our time. F.E… Read more

Fear 2 Review by a Fair Reviewer

Fear 2 Review It’s been a little more than three years since FEAR was released on the PC. FEAR 2 has finally launched, this time on the 360, PS3, and the PC simultaneously. While not much has changed… Read more

F.E.A.R. 2 Unbiased and Untainted Review

When the original F.E.A.R. came out, I heard stories from people that it was the creepiest game ever. I, of course, never experienced this firsthand since at the time I was a little too young and my c… Read more
