FEAR 2 going for over R480 is BS

Don't buy it if it the price is too high.
A game must be great, not just good (imo) before they can accept it as an auto-purchase.

For me it's good to hear the nail gun thing isn't as powerful as it used to be. It ruined multiplayer F.E.A.R. IMO. It's sad to hear that the guns aren't nice, though. That's make or break for an FPS.

Depends. Some times you pay nothing. When they charged you they work out 14% on 110% of the value. There is only vat and a small import tax fee, there's no duties on computer software and hardware.

Most I have ever payed was R350 when I imported an board game from the states, the board game's value was R2200. Never paid anything when imported my inter milan shirts from italy, the italians are very clever with deceiving the customs guys by qouting totally undervalued prices on the slip in the box. My online slip for exchange purposes are much more than the slip in the parcel. I love Interstore and their sneaky ways.:)

I know Yahtzee's points of view are very rarely shared by the mass market but his F.E.A.R. 2 review is up.

Basically it comes down to: F.E.A.R. 2 is F.E.A.R. for consoles but with updated graphics. He reckons that if you've played F.E.A.R. you don't need to bother with F.E.A.R. 2. I ask: Is more F.E.A.R. with better graphics, more guns on your person and scenes where you're piloting a mech a bad thing? To me it isn't... but an updated F.E.A.R. console port is also not worth R470-R500.

I'd say more F.E.A.R. is never a bad thing, just not for R500.

well i started playing it tonight and im quite happy..still shocked about the price though:(

I started playing it last night, played 2 chapters and I love it.

It's more of the same, but with FEAR that's never a bad thing, still not worth what I shelled out

I'll wait till it hits the bargain bin. It's a shame tho, was looking forward to it.

I agree, but with the current Rand dollar some importers are just stuffed.

is that the price for pc version? wtf
