Holy Disappointment Batman!
Sorry to say that this sequel (actually a prequel) turned out to be a bigger disappointment than Sonic the Hedghog 06'. Perhaps that statement was a harsh exageration but it still was a disappointment. I was looking forward to fear Unlimited 2 but it just didn't work. I'll get the cons out of the way first. GLITCHES! Glitches up the wazoo I say! Mission three was a wall-jump and acrobatics mission proved to have the most painfully flawed control mechanics I've come to see. It's a pain getting up the cliff and then you're greeted by Mr. Random buzz saw. You're then obligated to swing jump onto chains and other platforms of the like. HORRENDOUS! Next the combat. I enjoyed the additions of hand-to-hand but that is only accessible by throwing your sword out in front of you! Which I may add is a little ineffective at moments. Plus it takes its good time returning to you. Whence in your nearly non-optional hand-to-hand mode your aerial attack is atrocious! You won't be able to hit anybody! The sword's aerial combat is nearly inexistant for you can no longer juggle the enemy(s) in the air with one jump but you just come down to the ground in a single attack. It may sound like an improvement but it's NOT! Double-jumping was the ultimate killer for the button press was just TOO SENSATIVE! Wall jumps seem uneccessary. The guns are still useful and more effective this time around which I LOVED! One last con is the DIFFICULTY! Even on normal you die too easily. I don't even want to think what the Impossible difficulty will do to you (as if the glitches weren't imossible enough). Now for the pros.........new faces, improved artwork, more challenging (but may be too much as said before), new weapons, new foes, and you can do....backflips. I say stick to Fear Unlimated 1. It proved it's weight in gold. I know Newgrounds says not be a complete A-hole when reviewing but some justices have to be corrected. Donovan you are a stupendous flash programmer. I know it. Please don't rush a great series like this. Put more time in it and it WILL pay off. If you're thinking you put A WHOLE LOT O' TIME in this it isn't enough. Trust us, we can wait as long as it takes.
