It wasn't too hyped, coming from a rather unknown group of developers, but shocked everyone with its amazingly brutal and atmospheric horror experience and became a critical success. With these high standards to meet, 2 years later, the second is released to incredible anticipation and it certainly doesn't disappoint. Dead Space 2 is amazing. It takes everything the original put into the series, and enhances it. The controls are more precise, smooth and convenient (with the addition of a single button health and stasis refill system), the visuals are even more detailed and gritty, the sound is as creepy as ever, and the story remains intriguing and intense. You must work to unravel the truth behind the Sprawl (the game's setting), Unitology and Necromorphs, as well as battling (literally) horrific hallucinations and delusions from an alien form of dementia. If you are a fan of the first, then you will...

I remember it was set to release within a week or two of Fallout 3 and Gears of War 2, two other big titles going up against a previously unseen space horror. What's strange is I have really never liked horror...not in movies, and not really in games...But something about it being in space appealed to the sci-fi loving side of me thus I chose to play DS1 over the other two...fast forward to the end of DS1 and I have been eagerly awaiting a sequel since sometime in late 2008. Prior to release, it seemed Dead Space 2 (DS2) doomed itself to failure...Obviously it would be compared to its highly acclaimed predecessor with a microscope. During the lead up to the release in January of 2011, there were complaints from fans from everything to it having multiplayer tacked on, to the protagonist Isaac Clarke showing his face. Other people complained about him getting a fully voiced dialog, or that he was supposedly accompanied this...

You play Isaac Clarke (An amalgam of Asimov and Arthur C), the sole survivor of Dead Space. Not only is Isaac trapped aboard a massive space station with hundreds of these things, but religious fanatics want to use him for the information in his head and the government wants to kill him for it. GENRE: Survival horror. GAMEPLAY: Third person shooter. However, instead of the usual center of mass/headshot gameplay, these necromorphs require dismemberment. Hence, Isaac has a number of unconventional weapons at his disposal that make this task more feasible (an arc welder, force gun, plasma cutter, electric saw, etc). A couple of weapons have been added to the arsenal from Dead Space, but essentially the gameplay remains the same. The addition of a proximity mine thrower makes it easier to strategize and lay down some defenses against the heavier... Read more |
