The FEAR 2 demo is pretty impressive. Graphics are great (if a little too reminiscent of the bland textures indoors in the original) and the gunplay is even more visceral than the original. There are outdoor environments that look good and the end battle in the mechanized suit is like having two of those C-130 cannons from CoD4 on your arms! LOL! I like how the suit has a real feeling of weight to it and it feels overpowered in exactly the way it should. Thumbs up on this one.

  I will be buying this! The engine enchancements make it look utterly luscious, and I was genuinely terrified at one point. Also, meaty guns = <3.
