Map review:

The Fear series of AvP2 maps are wildly regarded as some of the best maps for the game. This is the demo for the Fear 3 map. Interestingly enough, the demo and the final version of Fear 3 are quite different. As far as Fear 3 goes, the player once again plays as a marine that is dropped in a scary map with no objectives or story. The goal like the previous Fear maps is to reach the end of the map and survive. PsyKore decided to use some custom content for the Fear 3 demo, in that there are new shotgun and level sounds, new level textures and new alien skins. The alien skins look darker and are harder to see in the dark corridors.

Speaking of level sounds, the map has a constant mechanical and grinding loop that never stops. While it fits for the map, it is a bit annoying to hear it over and over. The rest of the map is great though. The map looks extra detailed, probably due to new textures and great use of ambient lighting once again. Level design returns to dark and spooky corridors as in Fear 1, although they aren't as cramped here. The map's difficulty is fair, but since it is just a demo, it is not deep enough to test how hard it is to go far on health and ammo. However, it should be noted that the alien ai tend to wall-walk and pounce more than in the previous installments.

The Fear 3 demo is sometimes overlooked by players who just play the main Fear maps, not realizing that the demo is very different from the final Fear 3 map. The map is very short, but great nevertheless. If you enjoyed the other Fear maps, check this one out as it is also recommended.
