wow, great review, complete with picts...well done man !

Funny on the demo, I could change the key bindings - I made the mousewheel
my slo-mo., and changed the zoom to rightmouse. Odd.

Overall the game looks fab....I doubt youve had time to try multiplayer yet,I liked the mulitplayer in the original FEAR, altho I found the areas too small, with too many people. What are your impressions ?

thanks again dude

This game seriously rocks my socks. Ive had it for 2 days and im almost done with it lol. On interval 6 out of 7.....


To add on to apu-

the game does run extremely smooth. I have mine running at max everything 1680x1050 with 4x aa and 16 af just fine. the only thing i find annoying is how it stutters badly when the auto save feature kicks in evertime you turn a 5th corner. its not always that bad but it can be. the graphics i think are amazing. i hope other games use the engine and style of graphics. i would love to see the engine outside.

weapons do seem powerful...except for the sub machine gun lol which so happens to be the gun that has the most ammo laying around. not a biggie though.

A.I. is decent...it scales heavily with skill level it seems lol. Im playing on normal which dosent seem very hard at all (until the end, guys are way tougher) and my gf started a game on easy and she has never played a fps on a computer and was all over the place with the mouse and she could get through the first interval without dying. that should say something lol.

this game puts you much more in the story line than the first one. i love that. especially if you pick up all the intel data pieces and read about everything, it starts to make sense. just a heads up, if you play on easy skill, most of the intel pieces wont be there. you have to play on normal or up to get the full story.

ive read on alot of places that the game picks up about half way through....i dont know when it stoped picking up! Ive been on the edge of my seat the whole damn game. its non-stop and i love it. the combat is everything i could hope for and its a chilling game. you do get used to alma however which for me was a relief cause at first it really freaked me out. it looses some of its creepy factor but at the same time it lets you enjoy the game as it should. it even seems that your character seems to come to terms that alma is there no matter what. wont spoil that one


the mech was in one part of the game for a whopping 10 minutes. would not have minded getting another go with that thing i found that part really fun but it did take you out of the game. it felt like i was playing a different game all together. kinda out of place. but still fun

the healing is more streamlined but i still think its too easy on normal. this game is def good enough to play again and i think ill do it on hard next time. its good when i die every now and then. i dont think ive died more than 5-7 times in this game and im almost done. a little odd i think.

seriously......this game is so freakin awsome. its everything i was hoping for and more!


i did play some multi for about 30 minutes. i can say that not too many people on right now. mind you that was unranked. not sure how many peeps on ranked servers but i will be finding out soon. ive only played a few maps and they feel kinda small so far but mabey thats just those ones. multi is def fun, i was hooked on the original fear multi for some reason and this one is more of the same which i like. ill update you all on this as i get more time to play online. gotta beat the game single player first

hope that was a good addition

Very good addition. I went to futureshop at lunch and held one of 2 copies left on the racks. I was like a deer stuck in the headlights. buy or not to buy ?

Then I thot to myself...whoa, slow down dimmy......gotta wait for squirrel meat's input first !

Can you shoot off limbs and heads ? Can you bust up **** with guns in glorious slow-mo ?

To answer your questions...




HELLZ YA YOU CAN!

Well i just beat the game-

the ending was pretty intense. some pretty freaky parts but it definetly closed it out pretty well....(with some story left )

the tram part was annoying as hell but it wasnt very long. and i got to jump in a mech for the second time. not bad but the second time didnt even feel like the same game. could have left that part out lol.
the fights at the end got a lot harder as well. finally a challenge!



conclusion:
bad freaking *** game! love it, beat it in two days, about 8 hours of game play to beat it give or take. might even play it again on hard cause it was so much fun but this time try to get all the pieces.
get this game! if you like horror/fps awsomeness then this is the game for you!
