What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"Fear Effect 2 is a prequel that follows the lives of the three main characters-- "Deke" DeCourt, Royce Glas, and Hana-- before they joined forces for the events in the first game."
"It's the kind of game that really tires you out, but is stupidly difficult to put down because you know there's something even better around the corner."
"A solid adventure game catering only to strong-stomached adults, Fear Effect 2 could use a little trimming and polish to make it truly excellent. Trimming could come in the form of decreasing its reliance on action, and polish is desperately needed in the control options that make the game's action elements so frustrating."
"All in all, this sequel delivers more of the same from the first, but it's still a very solid, fun game. And yes, it brings to the table what was promised in terms of suggestive themes."
"...gamers should never get bored with the gameplay, due mainly to the constant character changing... Upon replaying the game, Retro Helix will spawn a completely different set of enemies... a welcome one-time loading system... It's likely one of the last must-have games..."
