I liked fear, enjoyed the game and it did make me jump a couple of times. That i though was really good as most "horror" films are just too predictable these days.

As a game Fear had an element of the Alfred Hitch***** style of letting you think things were under control and then doing the unexpected. I look forward to this sequel.

I my self prefer how Doom 3 did it. They really know how to scare the crap out of you. As an FPS it looks great but not all that scary. It's not dark enough, .........hell it's not dark at all. You can't scare somebody with a fully light room. You need the darkness element, if you really want to get people jumping.
