I played this game on a regular basis and especially very much. Although I did not know the first part, but a retrospective sequence is available from the menu. I think the first part does not have to have gambled in order to be able to play the 2nd. The second part is so good that it was like an addiction to continue playing him. The story is long, you can experience in this game very much. I am a gamer who does not want to quickly get to your destination, but looked around for finds that facilitate a game - and effectively took the game 20 hours! This can be read to the memory points. Real, that was probably the longest shooter game that I've ever played.
The atmosphere is gloomy, even scary. Man is attacked by many opponents. Then being to ensure the correct choice of weapon. Weapons one may have 4 pieces with them, but also have more. These are deposited at certain points in a Save, where you can then also exchange the weapons. Standard weapon might be the plasma cutting machine, a kind of gun, but there are also more powerful weapons or weapons with grenade launchers for destruction broad-scale objectives. The enemies are so different that there is for each an ideal weapon. However, an opponent is not killed but which can only momentarily incapacitate until it regenerates itself - because it makes sense, just to escape. There are 2 opponents, have the explosives with him - you meet the exploding them, which can be deadly for himself in close range, but also destroys more enemies at a great distance.
As rap, the atmosphere is gloomy, everything shrouded in darkness. There are quiet phase, but also frightening-annoying. It is in permanent tension and scares himself but often sudden attacks with loud shouts. The game is bloody. If one kills a monster, there are free ammunition or health packs. Here one must also sometimes trampled, and then the body parts fly blutspritzend apart.
The special feature of the game is, in larger game intervals, there are next to the storage station (you can not save with F5, yet automatically at checkpoints stored) shops, where you can weapons, ammunition, health packs and protective suits for sale, as well as unneeded stuff can sell. Although there are also a lot of things, but for the game when the opponents are not enough these. Therefore, one should buy a large stock always. One can find in the game "nodes", which can be stuck on Bench stations on boards. I think that's very good, because then you can selectively upgrade its existing weapons and strengthen it. For that reason alone it is worth to look for these nodes in wardrobes, and not wildly durchzuballern to the finish.
Once you reach the goal, the game thus ended - there is a new game "Game +". There is a new level of difficulty, and more unlocks, where the old are taken. But as far as I was not the game I will repeat another time.
Conclusion: Perhaps the best shooter game, very exciting, bloody, long season and varied. The graphic is actually very good. Comparing the game with FEAR 3, it is clearly better. Unconditional purchase recommendation!
