Map review:

The Fear series of AvP2 maps are wildly regarded as some of the best maps for the game. This is the first and original installment in the series. In Fear, the player plays as the marine and is dropped in a scary map with no backstory or objectives. There is an immediate sense of dread and isolation as the entire map has an incredibly eerie and creepy feel. The corridors are all very dark with slight glimpses of light popping up every now and then. Often times the player will be in complete darkness and must rely on the shoulder lamp and flares.

Not only is the level design geared towards horror and suspense, but the gameplay is too as enemies will often pop out with little to no notice. Ammo and health pickups are rather sparse and must be thoroughly searched for to find them. Quite honestly, the map is near perfection and rivals the maps that Monolith made for the game. One could easily argue that Fear is scarier than any of the Monolith maps. If I were to nitpick, some of the infinite respawning aliens in the vents come off a bit cheap and there isn't a true ending cutscene per say. Regardless, as far as horror-based AvP2 maps go, Fear is a masterpiece. Highly recommended.
