Empire Magazine has released an early review of F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, the latest installment in the F.E.A.R. series by Monolith/WB Games.

“When it came to talking up F.E.A.R. 2 pre-release, developer Monolith claimed it was going to unleash “the greatest first-person shooter combat ever”. But while the game doesn’t quite achieve its goal of becoming 2009’s answer to Halo or Half-Life, Project Origin is still a gore-soaked, kinetic roller coaster ride that’s guaranteed to sate even the most voracious bloodlust.”

Empire gave a promising 4/5 stars, complimenting on the gameplay enhancements of the original game.  This is one of the early U.S. reviews.  The game has been receiving somewhat average scores from other European sources.

F.E.A.R. 2 is scheduled to be released on February 10th 2009 for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
