FEAR 3 vs FEAR 2

Hot off completing FEAR 2 I started FEAR 3.

A few quick comments after playing FEAR 3's 1st Interval. FEAR 3… talk about a return to the roots of core tactical gameplay. The difference from FEAR 2 is jarring. I hadn't touched FEAR 2 in over a year from completing FEAR 1 and the expansions, so I had forgotten so wonderful tactical aspects of the experience… and the challenge.

I was overjoyed to be thrown back into the originals flank and cover style game play. I was getting torn to pieces! Why? Because FEAR 2 made me lazy! I also like the new cover function (replaces the FEAR 1 "lean") and I'm thrilled to have grenade impact detonation again. The grenade system in FEAR 2 simply sucked.

Anyway… great to see the team took the critique to heart. I have high hopes for this one!

I loved every FEAR game so I was never disappointed. The co-op campaign though of FEAR 3 soured the game for me.

I loved the original Fear, but I hated Fear 2 with a passion, and that scared me away from trying the third title.
