Found some first impressions on the FEAR 2 demo, over at pcfpsreview.com. Seems pretty positive. February 10th can't come soon enough.

I just went through the demo. It scared the crap out of me.

I was very impressed with the graphics and the FPS. It seems as detailed as Crysis but the minimum FPS runs alot higher. I did about 10 benchmarks Min/Max/Average
Min was high 30's-low 40's, max 50-60+, average mid to high 40's. This was done on max res, max settings, on a 25.5" 1920x1200 samsung.

I know that most gamers are hung up on the visual but this game is worth upgrading your sound if haven't already. You need some decent bass to put you in the mood. There was a few times that my arm hair stood straight up just because of the music and sound effects.

The demo is short and sweet..... and scary.

Just played it, it was amazing :D

The graphics played really nice on my HD3870 (1440*900, all max + 4xAA/16AF). I only have a probem that it stutters sometimes. My FPS just goes from 60 tot 20 and back up to 60's :S

But i really like the gameplay! The atmosphere just feels right :)

I can't wait till February 10'th :D

I'm sorry - I can't agree.

If anything feels wrong to me it's the atmosphere. I'm disappointed in the demo.

Alma went from being a disturbing supernatural force to being a jack-in-the-box.

If you were scared by this demo don't ever play Doom 3; you'll die of a heart attack.

I tried the Fear 2's demo and I think the enviroment is too "colourful" compared to the original Fear and Extraction point.

Trully, extraction point was the scariest...

The main change is that the game has been transferred from an original PC game (ported to consoles later on) to a console game, ported to PC. Judging from the demo it's not a bad port, it is a pretty good port, BUT it is still a port. I would have preferred the franchise to keep to PC as their launching platform.

loved the demo...I agree with the "colorful" arguement...but I must remind you that we saw only a thin part of what the game will be

I have no doubt many will be fine with game even as a console port.

But to anyone who loved the original FEAR - DO NOT but it based soley on your memories of that game. Make sure you play the demo first.
