Fun:
Very disappointed with the simplistic console like gameplay, I mean glowing targets? PC games used to be sophisticated but when it comes to mashing the mouse to beat enemies, you've lost me.
Short, no savegame facility, scrappy story, poor AI, and the outrage of having to have steam authenticate you every time you want to play, and then not being able to sell your £25 game is a liberty to far.
They have lost me as a customer (and I've bought every Fear release). Poor game and shocking customer treatment. Avoid.

Fun:
Loved FEAR, Extraction Point and Persius Mandate on the PC. Have been waiting for this release.
Sadly it is a big disappointment. Why? It's not a PC game anymore. This is 100% console stuff. Not that I have any particular dislike for consoles (owning many myself) but the whole experience of this game is almost ruined by the console oriented story/experience/controls. FPS's are ok on consoles for people who play FPS's on consoles... but as PC players we know the difference. PC->Console.. fair enough. Conole->PC.. who you trying to fool?
From the very start this game stinks of console. It's a big shame. I have no problem with trimmed releases hitting the consoles, but when we're expected to play these on the PC it's a rank experience and mocks our investments.
Big shame. I'm sure I'll enjoy playing this game through to the end but it's very clear this has been trimmed to the PS3/360 morons of the world.
:-(

Fun:
If this game had appeared five years ago we would have been blown away, and for console gamers this is likely to entertain. However, on the PC we expect more. It's pretty and atmospheric, but quickly becomes repetitive and boring - a real shame.
Online play is likely to make this game more fun, but the same can be said for many other games.
There is some final issues you should be aware of before buying the retail version -
1. You cannot activate the software without Internet access.
2. You cannot install this on more than one machine even if you own both.
3. You cannot resell this game as the activation code only works once and therefore the buyer cannot install it. So if you regularly trade your games in then be aware you cannot do it with this.
4. You are forced to install the Steam online engine which though a nice interface will consume internet bandwidth without your explicit consent and prevents you from playing the game unless your internet is active.
5. Forget gaming-on-the-move. If you buy this to install on a portable machine (like an Alienware laptop) then you won't be able to play it without connecting to the internet. The instructions say it is possible to play offline but the reality is quite different with no fix on the horizon.
6. If you buy this game via STEAM instead of retail the restrictions are even tighter :-(
As a generic FPS F.E.A.R 2 is just ok, but with all the Steam online hassles and the flagrant disregard of European law (which requires the owner may transfer the licence of software AND be able to make a single backup copy) then I do not recommend purchase.
If you have already bought it, then please join those looking to create a test case against the software industry for ignoring European and UK law for 25 years.
Finally, If I had known beforehand that such restrictions were in place on the retail version I would never have bought it.
