  • -vs-
  • F.E.A.R 2
  • F.E.A.R 2 is better than F.E.A.R.
    Overall Comparison
    F.E.A.R a game of horror, and action. A story of a project gone wrong and in the worst way possible. F.E.A.R. 2 Same story, different viewpoint, more horror.

    F.E.A.R was a GREAT game in my opinion and to be honest I didn't really expect F.E.A.R 2 to beat it when I first heard they were making a sequel. But was I wrong!, so very very wrong.

    take everything in F.E.A.R, give it better graphics, more horror, and a nice chunk of the story and see what happens. F.E.A.R 2 happens.

    I cant really say how it is better other than the fact that it was just like F.E.A.R but amplified. like F.E.A.R on steroids or something.

    ( I don't want to give anything away, so I cant really do much on the storyline comparison ) -- except. I don't really know why your a different character. It does add a nice twist. but what happened to the first guy??? (name: unknown)

    also what happend to the rest of the original cast. I know some of them died, but some of them didnt, and i didnt see even one of them. cept for the stupid ceo of armacham.

    meh... even without those things. F.E.A.R. 2 was still very very epic.

  • Would you recommend playing FEAR first before playing FEAR 2?  I kinda want to give them a go.  But I get scared pretty easily, so I'm not totally sure if my pansy self could handle it =P

    • You'll want to play FEAR first because if only to get a good background of Alma's and the Pointman's (FEAR's protagonist) story.  The expansions "Extraction Point" and "Perseus Mandate" can be ignored.  Extraction Point just extends the journey of the Pointman by a few hours but doesn't really add too much to the story.  Perseus Mandate isn't even canon to the story, and I honestly find it pointless (though there's fun guns to play with).

      A lot of people complain about FEAR 2's graphics.  I think it's unfair to compare the graphics to Crysis.  I prefer a game to look stylish and run at 60 FPS, and thats just what FEAR 2 does for me.  Also, I'm probably more scared of FEAR 2 than I was with FEAR 1.  Adult Alma is 10x scarier than child Alma.  I'm actually at a point where I can't play the game for probably more than 30 minutes at a time because I get way too scared.  I hear the game is short, though, so we'll see what happens.

      I just got to the part where you find a certain Operating Room and you're introduced to a certain enemy.  I'll leave it there.

  • sadly, i was told by good friends to not play this game.  i respect their honesty and will save myself the time.   i enjoyed fear, and i guess i had had too high hopes for the sequel, which others tell me cant add up.

    • If you'd play it on a console, then I would wait for a price drop, or rent.  If on PC, then I would say to wait for a special sale down the line.  It's not a terrible game by any means, just nothing really outstanding.

      • yeah the only downside to this game is the multiplayer... a tad disappointing.
