F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin - PS3

Pros Cons
Intense action  
Addictive gameplay  
Solid Shooter

Just finished fear 2 tonight. The single player campaign can be summed up as short and sweet. Unlike the first fear this one has a wide variety of locations to do battle in, including bombed out city streets and even an elementary school which kept the action feeling fresh. The "paranormal" elements were entertaining and was a nice way to mix up the typical shooter formula (although dont expect to be scared or even really creeped out). Overall the campaign can be completed in 7hrs or so and was very enjoyable. Would certainly recommend to anyone looking for a solid shooter to trounce through in a couple of days.

F.E.A.R 2 better on the 360 AGAIN!!!!

Well having noticed that I didn't have alot of PS3 games I decided to get the PS3 version because it scored 3 points higher on metacritic, Well I was wrong its awful on the PS3 even with HDMI there is a blur when you look around fast aside from the haze that seems to constantly be on the screen no screen adjusting seems to make it go away.The audio is atrocious, everything sounds muffled and far away yet im running a optical cable for audio even in surround sound the screams of people 30 ft away or closer sound like 10 miles away.Obviously maybe PC game developers shouldn't make PS3 ports cause monolith can't seem to get it right since the first game was awful on the PS3, apparently the second joins that list of games that 360 has the better version of.If you own a 360 and a PS3 do yourself a favor buy the 360 the PS3 version is bad not unplayable but bad if you own both consoles.I believe condemned 2 was also full of audio issues and glitches on the PS3.Monolith stop with the PS3 ports you dont get them right people shouldn't have to pay 60 bucks for something that needs to be patched, not even sure if the fixed the issues with condemned 2 they just said to play it in low def.

cool!

The game was cool to play the slo move is great and the game keeps you watching the corners. Online play is the same from last but no lonewolf play, all team base. I gave it a four star rateing alot of good things. The end wasn't big but the third one start out huge and I hope with better online play.
