is it as linear as the 1st?

Well, it's a demo, but it was pretty straightforward. They made the paranormal activity a little more "stay on your toes" as it can actually harm you, so you don't have to only worry about the marine activity.

piece of shit.
just wait for Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena

what i really loved in the first FEAR was the look and feel of the gun battles. with all the dust and flying particles it was hard to see sometimes. add to that the fact that you could rambo it hardcore with the aid of the slomo meant that fights were often pretty fun.

the scary passages were pretty nicely done aswell.

getting lost in a maze was the most fun part.

its pretty tough to get lost in that game imo... but then perhaps if your gaming experience consists of spamming one map for 8 years perhaps something with more than 3 possible paths = maze..

:P

are u actually referring to a part of the game or?

compared to?

First FEAR had nice AI (it should be a standard by now, too bad nobody listen), and great enemy model animations
Still this comment regards FEAR 1

AI doesn't seem to have improved in FPS games since Half-Life in 1998 (And in a lot of cases it's got worse).

Loved FEAR and this is awesome too.

The dreadnought suit is sweet.

That was my favorite part. I almost wish the game was entirely about that.
