Dead Space 2 vs F.E.A.R. 3
Dead Space 2
Dead Space 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to Dead Space, a thrilling third person shooter that is guaranteed to give you a scare. This sequel retained many of the elements that had made the franchise successful, including the third-person view, the terrifying gameplay as well as a brilliant continuation of the storyline where the first game left off. In fact, you could say that Dead Space 2 simply offers more of the same experience you'd get from the first game... with the exception of the storyline - the plot in this game is definitely different from the former.Many critics and fans of the game bemoaned this fact, and as much as they would like to love the sequel, Dead Space 2 had been quite a disappointment to many of them. However, if you'd like to enjoy an "extended version of the first original Dead Space game" a.k.a. this game, you'll be in for a treat. If not, you might want to skip this one altogether and get Dead Space 3 instead.
F.E.A.R. 3
F.E.A.R. 3 definitely upped the notch by providing players with two incredible characters to play as - either Point Man, a genetically-enhanced soldier with superhuman reflexes and can manipulate time; or the undead spirit of his brother, Paxton Fettel, who wields amazing psychic powers. The AI in the game is as sneaky as ever, forcing you to have heightened combat awareness or you might just get attacked from behind. You can also pilot an enhanced mech in this game, which is always an awesome thing to do.However, many fans of the series feel that the story has been drawn out way past its lifespan and that the story in this installment is just underwhelming. There are also several major plotholes which just further messed up the story. Not to mention, the gunplay in this game seems to be a much-watered down version of its previous games.
So, if you're a hardcore fan of the story, you might still want to get this game while it's on offer just to enjoy some of the better parts of the plot. But if you're a newcomer, you might want to look to its first or second game instead.
