I just played about 6 levels of the game and I gotta say, the GFX SUCK!!! They're TOO DARK!!
Basically I finished NG2 this evening and played Fable2 and after those games especially, F2's gfx are horridly black.
This game will literally make your head hurt and hurt your eyes. Every level your vision goes blurry, then black, then blurry, then rusted kind of blurry, the levels are dark, claustrophobic and BLURRY. The light that's given off by your weapons is kinda like Doom 3's light without the mod, it's still black and blurry and dark all around.
My other major complaint is that the graphic details are poor, at least if you played this game on a PC, and don't say "well duh it's a console", NG2's and Fable2's and Farcry 2 gfx look bright, crisp and appealing. But here it's just the level design itself, it's poor, nothing like the first game.
The weapons are so so, I mean the robot form would be cool, but the controls are terrible imho, feel very sloppy, robot feels like an oversized can, gets stuck in walls easily.
The time effect's used to be appealing, but it's just WAY overdone in most games now and it's doesn't feel that enjoyable in Fear 2.
5/10

turn off the lights 
I didn't find it too dark at all, plus it has a better atmosphere that way. |
Heh I have a 120" projector screen running on a Mitsu projector that is VERY bright even in daylight, so naturally I play in the dark, this game is still too dark. The flashlight is puny, the textures washed out, the gameplay generic, the robots are clunky and so are the controls. And the flash/blank/murk/fade effects are SUPER annoying.
Another dark game but VERY enjoyable and with great gfx is Dead Space of course. It was dark, but it wasn't overdone like in Doom 3 or F2, Dead Space had the perfect balance. Had no problems there, now that game is scary and atmospheric. Dead Space > F2!
Another complaint is that MOST gameplay is inside claustrophobic buildings. It's like we're back in time where a game developer is struggling to make outside levels b/c of some hw limitation, of course there is none in this game because the graphics are dated!!
Oh well, f it, SF4 is OUT!!! So I can play it today!!

I didn't find the game to be too dark at all. BTW you can change it from within the settings and I also disagree in that I think that the graphics are superb.
Projectors FTL!

I'm about 50% through (given that I'm half way through the "complete" chapters achievementd) and so far I'm REALLY enjoying it! Great game, lots of fun, interesting story (and you NEED to collect all the intel to really see behind the scenes and get the most out of it)
Nice one, Monolith!

I'm sure you've found it by now, but look for the basketball courts - there is a steel grate leading to the sewers(?) underneath - just break the lock off and you're good to go.

I'm confused about something. WHY does the 360 version look better (lighting and shadows) than the PC one? Bad port or what?

I almost had to quit when they introduced those fast wall crawly freaks. The way they move...the noises they made.. *shiver* Yah nightmares tonite lol
Take my words with a grain of salt, as I've said I'm only half way through Interval 3. I'm aware from the demo that I still have to face those 'ghosts' and I'm really REALLY not looking forward to that D: I just go into panic mode around them I can't stand not knowing where or when I'm gonna get attacked. If they didn't actually hurt you it'd be ok but it's like I'm actually fighting thin air and losing.
