This game has been hyped up a good deal. Alot of people have downloaded the demo from the Playstation Store and most have good things to say about it. Personally I was very excited to get this game today, I instantly grabbed a drink, some snacks and settled in for a long night.
To begin with the graphics are just okay, nothing to spectacular. There is some minor lag when the screen gets filled up with enemies. The story is great for anyone who is enamored with the franchise, but at the same time this game could be picked up by anyone who has never played this series before and have a pretty good understanding with what's going on. My first gripe with this game was that it was a little short, I beat it in about 7 hours. Now I know that games are getting shorter and shorter every year, but I still think at 60.00 a pop, a game should be at least 10 hours.
My second complaint is the fact that I didn't die once. I played on Normal difficulty and never once died. I'm no video game master at all but to make it through a game in one setting without dying once? The AI could be a little bit smarter. Sometimes the enemies will run and duck for cover, other times they will stand in the open like a deer caught in headlights. The weapon selection is good and the dialogue is good also. My last complaint is that I didn't jump or flinch once, unlike the first Fear game for the PS3 which scared me quite a bit.
All in all it really is a good game though, I just prefer to focus on the bad since most everyone will be focusing on the good. By all means check it out. FEAR 2 is going to be a great game for anyone with some downtime over the weekend or if you have a sick day from work to burn up.
