The result is that F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin is just overwhelmingly predictable for the most part. The enemies are uninspiring, faceless clones – even the ones that aren’t supposed to be. The weapons are all just rebadged versions of the standard FPS arsenal, the bullet-time power has become a faded cliché and the characters are all unsympathetic cut-outs.

The later levels that let you stray into the open air are great fun while they last, but the very nature of the game means that it eventually pulls you back down into dimly lit corridors and sci-fi labs dripping with blood...all of which has been done better elsewhere. It’s not scary and I say that as someone who was all-too-willing to let F.E.A.R 2 empty his bowels. Constipation is just no fun.
