The pace seems a little more balanced than daddy F.E.A.R. - those periods of crawling through empty, claustrophobic areas are punctuated a little more with warfare climaxes. And this doesn't detract from the dread-building. It’s still always night, and oftentimes you’ll find yourself standing silent in the dark, waiting for your flashlight‘s battery to charge.

Things scurry quickly in and out of your vision, disturbing imagery periodically flashes across your screen, and you’ll sometimes open a door or turn a corner and walk into what looks like Hell or purgatory. Though once you’ve experienced it, the long walks through abandoned hallways lose their luster because you know what’s going to happen.

There’s also some blending of skirmish and horror. For example, there’s a battle with shape-shifting red-eyed demons (one of the new enemies) that takes place beneath a disorienting stuttering light. You’ll be shooting at your own shadow and spinning around nervously trying to find the bastards.
