There's only a demo thread and a install issues thread so here it is, the official F.E.A.R 2 game discussion thread. We've all had a chance to get it installed and running so lest discuss.
Firstly i would like to say this game is awesome. Initially the letterbox really annoyed me, to the stage where i nearly went out and bought a 22" screen to resolve it but i found dropping the rez to 1280x900 reduced the size of them greatly. So far i haven't stopped playing it and have enjoyed every second, granted the combat is abit easy even on the hardest settings but the game isnt all about the clone soldiers etc, its about that thing you cant kill too, yep Alma. Compared to F.E.A.R 1 and condemned, i think the atmosphere in this is much improved, ok both of those were scarey but this has taken it to a new level. There hasn't been a singly point in the game where ive let my guard down and just mindlessly roamed about, ive been sneeking into every room and checking every corner.
*Spoiler below*
My first genuine scare is when you cross the building from the outside on the maintenance lift thing and crawl through the vent, you get into a room with a pool in it, only lit by a dim red light and a candle like torch. I carefully shimmied my way around, avoiding the water only to see a window smash next to me, i turned around and that bloody little girl was standing there looking at me. My mouse flew off the desk.
EDIT:
and ive just realised ive spelt THREAD wrong, woops, mod please fix the title.
