F.E.A.R. 2 for Xbox 360
 
Project Origin is a solid and challenging title successfully mixing horror elements with classic shooting action
 
Anmol Kapoor

The reputation of FEAR in the industry as of today, is of a twisted/psychotic guardian angel of horror and gore. Monolith with all their strength and guts, scripted a story with a girl child at the helm of it, Alma Wade, who of course, after the release of FEAR went to become the new Mistress of Death and Destruction. The franchise sort of lost its sheen in the form of two very mediocre expansion games, Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate. But thankfully, Monolith took their creation under their own wing and delivered Project Origin, a very entertaining and an incredibly worthy sequel.
7The story picks up just a few minutes before the explosion that concluded the original title. A special squad is sent to hunt down Genevieve Aristide, the President of the company responsible for transforming Alma into a supernatural freak capable of reducing an entire Delta Squad into one singular particle. You play as Michael Beckett, who in pursuit of the culprit, runs into a noticeably old Alma, ready to split Planet Earth into two after spending almost 17 years in imprisonment.

Like the Point Man in the first game, Beckett is blessed with a skill that slows down time, assisting him in dispersing more and more foes. Using the bullet time ability becomes very essential as the enemy AI is probably one of the best, comprising of the one of the most cunning super soldiers in the genre, who take cover with will, and verbally communicate with each other to track down your position. The environments in the first title were plagued with monotony, usually comprising of offices and crème' shaded walls. Thankfully, Project Origin will see Beckett fighting in various surroundings of varying scales such as an elementary school, science facility, and through the subway system. Fresh environments bring with them new enemies which by and large resemble those experimental beings from the movies.

Verdict  

The zig-zag pacing transitions from hallucination based sequences and encounters with weird supernatural beings to incredibly intense firefights with skilled super-soldiers, there are plenty of frightening events that the player will get to experience throughout the campaign.

Coming from the utterly atrocious expansion games, Project Origin is a worthy contender for comeback title of the year. There are plenty of scares and twisted events in the SP campaign that will keep you in the hunt for the best of six hours. Highly Recommended!
