  I loved the first Fear and the the demo for this one certainly wasn't bad. However, I did somehow feel the gameplay and guns were missing something, perhaps a degree of precision. Someone mentioned they felt like the character was "floating", kind of the same for me.
  
  Upsides are a great engine (C2D 3.2ghz, 8800GT and 4 gigs ran it fine on max details and 1680x1050 after I realized I had old crappy drivers slowing me down), it's scary as shit imo and the ending of the demo which I will not spoil since I don't know how to use the spoiler tag, was great.
  
  I do hope the action/horror ratio is tweaked a bit more to the action side in the full version, the horror part works better if it's not constant. This was the case with Fear 1 though, so I'd assume they won't make that mistake this time either.
