Sort By: Publication | Quality | Date | Added | Reception


Garnett Lee 1UP	February 14, 2009 - Excellent - You'll fire thousands of rounds in hundreds of white-knuckled shootouts facing everything from soldiers to grotesques to specters, and tromp around in a totally bad-ass mech suit. Most importantly, you'll love every minute of it. Full Review


Tom Orry VideoGamer	February 10, 2009 - Excellent - I can't recommend Monolith's sequel highly enough. It might not have the jaw-dropping visuals to rival Killzone 2, but it's a hugely satisfying shooter that'll have you clinging onto that controller or mouse throughout its tension-filled campaign.

Abbie Heppe G4 / X-Play	February 11, 2009 - Good - If you're a fan of the FPS genre, the FEAR series has always been and will continue to be worth playing for the ambience and AI alone. Full Review


Kevin VanOrd GameSpot	February 10, 2009 - Good - Playing F.E.A.R. 2 is a worthwhile way to pass the time while we wait for the inevitable next installment. Full Review


Sal Accardo GameSpy	February 10, 2009 - Good - In many ways, F.E.A.R. 2 feels like the middle chapter in a trilogy, and there's certainly enough momentum here for at least one more run. Full Review


Steve Hogarty GamesRadar	February 10, 2009 - Good - The magic of FEAR is certainly in position. That basic pleasure of time slowing, of watching a death ballet unfold as glass shatters, masonry crumbles and bodies cartwheel with morbid elegance - it's all intact, and it's as incredible to behold as ever. Full Review


GameTrailers	February 13, 2009 - Good - What you get is an atmospheric shooter with a lot of tried-and-true concepts that fails to push the envelope. Fans of horror and first-person shooters will find it a nice blend of the two. Full Review


Jason Ocampo IGN	February 10, 2009 - Good - With F.E.A.R. 2, Monolith has crafted a solid follow-up to F.E.A.R. It's a good shooter, bordering on great at times, but it's not as groundbreaking as its predecessor. Full Review
