There is not a whole lot of bad to say about this game. Some players may not like that the game can be beaten in one 8-hour play-a-thon. The running is terrible because you have to use the L-stick to move while at the same time pressing it down as a button (L3), which makes the control awkward. However, Project Origin is definitely made with the core gamer in mind. At $60, the game is a deal for any shooter fan. Just don't expect anything revolutionary in the FPS genre, instead, take it for what it is-good, fun, shooting action with a hearty scoop of horror.

Following on the coattails of the highly successful First Encounter Assault Recon, or F.E.A.R., Monolith Soft and publisher Warner Brothers released the highly anticipated F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin.
Set immediately prior to the finale of Point Man’s adventure in F.E.A.R., Project Origin tasks the player, one Sergeant Becket, and his squad with the retrieval and protection of Armacham’s Genevieve Aristide. Shortly after you battle your way through her apartment complex, a mushroom cloud explosion blasts through the city, successfully incapacitating Becket. While passing in and out of consciousness, Becket sees his journey from Aristide’s apartment to a hospital bed where he hallucinates being torn asunder by demons. Upon awakening, Becket finds himself pitted against a team of special ops soldiers cleaning up Armacham’s involvement from the original F.E.A.R.
Direct2Drive has given Monolith's shooter F.E.A.R. 2 a significant price cut down to $20. The title ran $35 on D2D before the cut and currently runs $50 on Steam.
