As an overall product, F.E.A.R. 2 is a decent mix of self-aware cliche, gratuitous and hyperbolic violence mixed with the occasional touch of subtlety and reservation. It’s a solid, dependable shooter that, in its best moments, gets your heart racing. Whilst the universe might be confusing and unfriendly for those who haven’t played the first game, the shooting mechanics should be satisfying enough for fans of the genre. And, let’s face it, that’s pretty much everyone with an Xbox 360. The ending isn’t as spectacular as the original’s, but it is just as abrupt. Which is again a shame. It couldn’t be more disparagingly abrupt unless it printed “F.E.A.R. 3, anyone?” onto the screen before the credits rolled.
