Confront terrors both known and unknown in a explosive battle for survival with F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin for PS3. This action-packed follow-up to Monolith Productions’s award-winning supernatural shooter F.E.A.R. begins where the previous game left off.

After an enormous explosion has devastated the city of Auburn, you’ll quickly discover that what seemed like an ordinary mission to retrieve and interrogate Genevieve Aristide is anything but.

Project Origin Run Amok: Alma’s Background
Fans of the first game will be familiar with the suspenseful story surrounding the psychic Alma, a peculiar and disturbing odyssey that adds depth to her devastating quest for revenge and immediacy to gameplay. Origin began as a secret military project run by the Aramacham Technology Corporation (ATC) . In an experiment run by Alma’s own father, her DNA was used to create two clones that possessed her impressive psychic powers in an attempt to engineer a telepathic military commander. In the end, the research team became worried about the dangers of Alma’s powers, and they tried to kill her.

While her heart stopped beating and her physical body died, her psychic energy continued to exist, and she manifested herself in many forms, including both a child and a deformed adult figure that betrays the gruesomeness of her ordeal. Due to a string of events tied to both her clones, Alma has escaped the disastrous explosion of the last game and the facility where she was held, and the haunting manifestations of her power are at work all around you, adding an unpredictable, nightmarish quality to the world.

Strange Events in a Supernatural Setting
In order to get anywhere in the rubble of the city of Auburn, you’ll need to survive firefights, stay calm in the face of surprisingly graphic events, and uncover the terrifying and mysterious nature of your real enemies. Your character’s phenomenal reflexes allow the much-talked-about slow motion effect from the original title to persist here, giving you an edge in combat and adding to the unique nature of your perspective.

Improved Details and Enemy AI
An enhanced graphics engine means more detailed environments to explore and better effects. The vast destruction in the city opens up a huge variety of spaces and enhances the other-worldly feel of your mission, and you better be ready to stay on guard because all-new enemies powered by improved AI don’t just act more realistically than their predecessors, they employ advanced combat tactics and know how to use the environment against you. But they aren’t the only ones with more resources at their disposal–additional world interaction enhancements allow you to create cover and protect yourself or remove obstacles from your path.

While it may be the horrific action and the details that first catch your eye, the tactical demands and the way story elements are slowly unveiled promise to help keep you interested as gameplay wears on. And for those times when you’re not in the mood for a prolonged single-player campaign, this title also offers the ability to battle with or against friends in multiplayer mode.

    For those who don’t mind a 3rd party app on your computer just to run a game, hat’s off to you!

    For the rest of us that just want to play without having to wait for the engine to warm up..

    Yes, this game requires you install Steam just to play it. (Half Life 2 anyone?)

    And for what? The game is ridiculously linear with the same game play over and over and over with the same bad guys who recite the same bad lines over and over and over.

    And the ending? Terribly dissatisfying.

    Skip this one unless money isn’t an issue and you just want to say you played it.

    Same game basically as the 1st, linear, with attempts to scare you every now and then ala’ resident evil 1. Sound quality is horrible for the weapons as well; I found that I turned the volume up just to hear the gunshots. Very disappointed with this title. It had much more potential.

    I’ll admit I’m not the best at these types of games, because I get stuck, but I was getting stuck in the lamest places over and over. It’s hard to check walkthroughs as well, because everything looks the same on individual levels, so it’s like you are going in circles. The game looks good for sure, it’s eerie, and at times very pop out scary: as you move down a corrridor a zombie jumps against the glass in a pool of blood, you’ll definitly jump. You have pretty much a pinlight of light in many rooms, take that into consideration, and you gotta find the exits, maddening! The control setup is user friendly for sure as far as action is concerned, but you have a pda, that’s always annoying and you get intel every minute, which I never bother to check, lol. It’s a good game if I didn’t get stuck so much, way more than usual. Multiplayer stinks, fun for about 10 minutes, players have neon lights to signify team, but there is huge lag and it’s very dark, the lag is like telporting all over the levels, but singleplayer format is worth a rent for sure, 3/5 stars.

    I didn’t enjoy this game as much as I did the original F.E.A.R. One of the things I really liked about the original was how creepy and scary it was and I just didn’t get that feeling from F.E.A.R. 2. Game play was ok and the AI was good I just had higher expectations and was left disappointed.
