Fear 2 Reborn, unlike the previous expansions to the series, is DLC at a very reasonable price of £5.99, the question is this a healthy young baby or should this one have been an abortion?
Fear 2 reborn takes place at an unspecified point in the time line where Replica soldiers are fighting the security from Armstec and for the first time in the series your not playing one of the good guys. You control Foxtrot 813, a replica solider that is about to have a very bad day, soon after you arrival a strange voice rings in your head and suddenly the whole world is against you. From here on in expect no surprises from the engine or the gameplay, its the same S***, different day."
TheSixthAxis: "Welcome one and all to a new feature we’re running here at TSA called ‘Previously On…’ where we catch you up on the plot of a story-driven franchise that has a new installment coming out. We’re starting today with the F.E.A.R. franchise, which is about to see its third chapter of the main series hit shelves this week. You may be thinking that this franchise is just another mindless shooter with a watered-down story and a creepy little girl following you around, but there’s actually a pretty deep plot surrounding all the chills and thrills you get from playing."

For $9.99 you can't expect too much content, and Reborn delivers another great experience in the F.E.A.R universe, albeit at tad short. It includes a slo-mo deathmatch mode which may get some more people into the online side, but ultimately if you are a fan of F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin and want to expand the story just a little further, there is no reason not to get this pack."
There are some lovely attempts at visual design both in the spookiness department and in ideas such as the exploration of a knocked-over skyscraper. Arguably Reborn is simply a pale extension of a shooter that was already set in gloomy, detail-starved environments, but it does have its own little thrills.
That is quite possibily the worst pice of writing I have seen in quite some time. "Is this a healthy young baby, or one that should have been an abortion"??!?!?! You must be one stupid f**k if think that is going to generate anything but bad press for your website. What more, your editor clearly isn't doing his job properly if he lets that sort of stuff get published. God help us if the writer is the editor.
