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.

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.

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.

Good - Playing F.E.A.R. 2 is a worthwhile way to pass the time while we wait for the inevitable next installment.

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.

Good - What's not to buy into with a scare around every corner, graphic set pieces to battle through, and a tight, subtly-paced script. We can wholeheartedly say that FEAR 2 is gruesomely good fun.

Good - Even though the ghost-story stuff ends up being about as threatening as a trip through The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland, and the tactical gameplay is softened up by an abundance of player-boosting pick-ups, F.E.A.R. 2 still puts on one hell of a show.

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.

Mediocre - FEAR 2 isn't terrible. That's the most terrible thing of all. Is mere competency enough to garner gamers' love? I don't know. But it's the one thing I really do fear.
