FEAR 2, eh? Kind of felt a lot like the original FEAR.

Slightly better looking, you can find upgrades to increase the length of your bullet time... the weapons aren't quite the same and you're facing slightly different baddies... oh and you get a few romps in powered armour suits that allow you to mow down enemies with impunity...

Otherwise, there isn't a lot to say. It's still a mix of tactical gunplay, creepy facilities and regular hallucinations that sometimes try and beat you up. The AI is still good... and this time they throw in some bastarding little wretches - well, they're just like the things in Gears of War - that sneak up and attack you... inexplicably requiring button mashing... At least it's not a TRUE quick time event.

If you played the first game... it's very similar. If you haven't... there's no real need to. Although the first one might be slightly longer and more engaging...
