F.E.A.R. 2 is a great production from Monolith and it is a strong followup to the well received original. It is a strong shooter with more variety in the design and although it wont have the same impact the original had it is a worthy follow up. The game succeeds at unsettling the player while bombarding them with various creatures and soldiers with different AI algorithms. The mysterious little girl once again steals the show, and everytime she appears Gaming Heaven still get a chill down my spine. Highly recommended.

Inspired by the J-Horror craze going on at the time, Monolith’s F.E.A.R. was a solid action fest of a shooter that entertained as much as it terrified. Bloody Disgusting goes back to see Alma ten years on from the launch of the sequel.
This game honestly killed all my interest in the franchise, I loved 1 and its expansions (even though they're technically non-canon now) but the sequel was such a let down.
WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "Whilst F.E.A.R 2 wasn’t the masterpiece I remembered from ten years ago, with its combat and level design being worse than the original, it is still a fun game that is well worth playing through today. "
