I have a soft spot a mile wide for FEAR. While it was (rightfully) panned for relying on jump-out shock tactics (like every "horror" film of the last 10 years, I would point out) but I honestly enjoyed the plot - kind of the anti-Akira I always thought.
While the jump-out bits were cheesy, the fact that it was Alma (a child) was, I found, actually fairly effective. I also love the endgame, leaving the facility, chasing Alma - good stuff.
Jeez in fear 2, there were some bits with alma that just freaked the piss out of me, like she would just be walking slowly towards you, stop, then be on the ceiling, or in a different doorway, just bink into different places.

Well, thing I'd have to say there, is that FEAR 2 was utter shite - sorry. Piss poor graphics, bad pacing, crap AI, crap sound and an obsession with those bloody mech sections. Utterly worthless. The only thing that will top it is FEAR 3 which is already looking pathetic.
Fucking 360 - only thing in the world that can force a sequel to look worse than the 5 year old original.
Those Mech bits fucking ruined it though, what was the point!!!
