    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this game is perfect as a sequel. There are times I was like, "No, they didn't just do that!" It is intense just like the first, but the weapons are much more fun. Weapons from the first also have different Alternate fire than the first game. The best part of this game is revisiting the Ishimura. While the game has improved on many features and graphics, I was really disappointed with the boss fights. They were fewer than the first game and the final boss fight was very anti-climactic. I would wait for this to drop in price to $40 before purchasing as I paid $60 and do not feel that it was worth it. It felt more like an expansion than a sequel.… Expand

    I tried Dead Space (1) and couldn't get into it. Quit after the 2nd level. BUT Dead Space 2 is amazing. Crysis 2 is getting a lot of hype, but Dead Space 2 has better graphics and is more original. FTW

    The rest of the game felt like a familiar ritual. At first I was fully expecting new twists and innovations, but that expectancy quickly gave way to an ever deepening sense of disappointment. Way too linear, some recycled environments, stupid puzzles, very few visual improvements, and worst of all for a survival horror; it was dreadfully predictable. I still enjoyed the game though, and will most likely purchase the next effort in the franchise, but I'll never again pre-purchase a Dead Space game, or purchase it at their full asking price... I'll simply wait for the Steam sales.    … Expand

    A very pleasant surprise, and a sequel that's actually better than the original. They fixed or improved the problems with Dead Space 1.

    Dead space 2 is a brilliant, fast paced FPS game... it has excellent graphics, brilliant story structure, character designs were fantastic, but something about it just seems like deja-vu... perhaps the fact that, aside from the storyline, not much was new? however what EA lacks in new-ness, if that actually is a word, they make up for with the fact that you get to slaughter alien zombies! :P

    I'm not an easy fan of the horror genre. I prefer horror games a bunch over horror movies, simply because I like to have control over how I deal with certain fears.

Putting out your lantern and hiding behind a barrel could easily get you further or stocking up on herbs and ammo was basically the key to survival although the atmosphere was top notch, the game failed to scare toy on the moments you least expected it to do so. In "Dead Space 2" however, I do believe I shat my pantaloons multiple times in rapid succession before the first hour even passed. Maybe it's a beat of the classic steam blow and sudden explosion that made me jump like crazy, but the fear you get when four enemies come screaming and clawing towards you is terrifying at its highest level. You often need tactics, but you panic, and therefore you create an extra difficulty that hides within the human mind itself. The visuals look great, the story is immersive, and the space ship feels believable. A top notch horror game that definately is my favorite of its genre. 9/10… Expand

Not quite as relentlessly frightening as Dead Space, but it still has well crafted horror elements, coupled with the constant pressure of resource management. Titan Station provides a much larger and richer setting than the Ishimaru and allows the story more scope and depth. To me its one of the best and most fully realized sci-fi environments in any game. Isaac also graduates from silent protagonist to fully voiced character which adds greatly to the story. My only complaint is that the game comes in a bit short at around 8-9 hours. I think that games which are sold as mainly single player experiences should be at least over 10 hours, this isn't COD.… Expand

Также добавлю, что локации стали гораздо разнообразнее: если раньше мы могли наблюдать только разницу между каютами высокопоставленных чинов на Ишимуре, и ее же инженерные палубы и отсеки, то теперь нам доступен целый город-станция ,где есть и школы, и магазины, и церковь, и станции метро, и правительственный сектор, и опять же инженерные отсеки.

Dead Space really nailed down that sense of being, trapped, isolated and hunted on the edge of distant space beyond all hope and reason.

The sound is very well done, sets the mood nicely and adds very well to the horror effect. . Neutral: The graphics were good but nothing that makes one go wow ! On your first play through you will take about 7-10 hours to complete the game but if you enjoyed it you will want to play again on higher difficulty, hardcore mode or carry over your weapons to a new game and fully upgrade everything so the game can have decent-ish replayability but there are other games that give much more longevity Cons: The game's story while being okay could have been far more imaginative and had some unclear segments. The zero gravity sequences in the game could have implemented in a better manner making them more fun and interesting. The game is simply not as scary as i thought it would be. A game that overall does very well but each individual aspect of the game isn't anything groundbreaking, except some aspects of the game play are something new and refreshing. 8.5/10.… Expand

It took me over 10 hours, closer to 13. Disappointingly, the game seems to challenge you by throwing endless waves of monsters at you. It's cheap and annoying. The same technical problems from the first game exist in DS2. Vsync runs at 30 fps, must force vsync externally to play at 60 fps. Also, Origin in-game overlay is incompatible with FXAA injectors and programs like Afterburner and D3DOverrider. EA is too lazy to fix these big problems. Not quite DS2, but still a great game.

Dead Space 2 did not disappoint. SINGLEPLAYER. DS2 offers an amazing single player following the footsteps of Isaac Clarke and his deteriorating mental state. At no point of the game did I feel I had missed out in any essential plot having not played the first game with an informative short video recapping the events of the first game while creating a bit of atmosphere and preparing you for the horrors of DS2. The game is liner - This is your objective and this is the route you are going to take - usually this would annoy me however with DS2 I did not care. Instead I became engaged with the storyline, marveling at the graphics and taking in the dead space universe the way the game developers intended DP2 to. I believe this is a pro rather than a con, I can only imagine how frustrating the game could have become if you had to search every room, every corridor just to get the most out of the storyline and Electronic Arts and Visceral Games throw in enough surprises, weapons and upgrades to leave you not knowing exactly what is going to be around the corner. The game lasts a good 8-10 hours which is on par with most recent games and first person shooters however will not offer much in the way of re-playability. GRAPHICS. This game looks great. Yes it is third person but this only allows the player to truly admire the amount of detail and design placed on the models and world of DS2. I often found myself taking the game slow, admiring the breath taking world, the realistic movements and just how smooth everything looks. I was surprised when I discovered that the game was running Direct X9, not DirectX10 or 11 as I originally thought. This is no downfall however as the game looks on par, and even surpassing, other recent releases of 2011. GAMEPLAY. If you like Horror mixed together with Sci-Fi. Then DS2 is the game for you. If I was to compare it with any other game gameplay wise I would say its a mix of Fear2 meets Doom mashed together with a Zombie Science Fiction theme. The sounds of the game, as is with any other successful horror movie or game, makes DS2. Expect to take many breaks to calm your nerves as you slowly creep the blood spattered corridors to the sounds of screams and movements in the shadows. Sound and Graphics aside DS2 has a number of small additions and differences that set it aside from your average game. I love the fact that the flashlight is attached to your main weapons zoom function, Not only does this look the part as Issac quickly scans a room with his pulse rifle looking for threats, but it means that there is no separate button that you have to keep pushing in order to see anything. I hope that many other games in the future will follow DS2's footsteps in this regard. Another cool gameplay element is Isaacs ability to significantly slow enemies down with a well placed burst from his suits telekinesis. Useful for escaping or dodging that charging alien, Lining up that perfect killing shot or blowing off limbs. You will never get tired of using Telekinesis in game. The ability to spacewalk in Zero G really show off DS2's movement physics and visuals and is unlike any other game I have played. Another interesting feature which I enjoyed was the lack of a hud. Instead ammo is shown as a heads up display on the actual weapon, Important info and text logs are read as Isaac himself looks at it.
    MULTIPLAYER. Reading the reviews on metacritic many people are criticizing DS2's multiplayer for being another L4D but in space. To this I respond: Whats wrong with that? L4D is an amazing game and a game style that I would love to see copied and DEVELOPED by a number of game company's. Unfortunately, while adding a number of new features to the L4D style game-play, such as; different mission objectives (from escaping to setting off a bomb), great graphics, Telekinesis, unlockable power-suits and weapons, killing moves from the 'infected' DS2 fails to capture the wow factor that L4D has, instead capturing a sort of... get to the objective, hold off as long as possible style. A slight disappointment considering how DS2 could have improved and developed the team co-op 'work together or die' L4D style but instead is considered by the majority a flop. Most players except the hardcore and dedicated will breeze over DS2's multiplayer, give up, and move onto the next major game. All in all, A great game. Intense graphics, a decent storyline, amazing sharp sounds and enough scares and fighting to keep even the most experienced gamer on their toes. I slight shame on the Multiplayer but good on EA and Visceral games for trying, however the single player more than makes up for the shortcomings of the multiplayer. A roller coaster of a ride and a must have buy for all Sci-Fi / Horror fans and a game that I feel justified in spending $50 to own.    … Expand

For me if the game has a great storyline and atmosphere, it's playable.. Well Dead Space 2 has got more of it, First of all, they fixed the camera, which was irritating in the first game, the controlls are 10x better.. The atmosphere is awesome, one of the best survival-horrors i've experienced so far, the game length is really good, you have to put some effort and time to finish it, and + it also includes a multiplayer mode. Graphics are good, i mean texturing and the modellings are good.. Animations are so realistic.. but i am not going to compare the graphics with more high-end pc games.. The good thing is i've not encountered any bug or some other performance issue while playing. But i would have expected more stuff since Dead Space 1. It is kinda new storyline DLC for Dead Space 1, not a major improvement i saw. But definitely it is worth your money.… Expand

Dead Space 2's engine is incredibly well-deigned and the environments have a good amount of attention-to-detail: lights flicker through gaps in the wall and the dark environments do a good job of building atmosphere (when the game lets it). The story is generally good and kept me engaged. The combat is satisfying, if a little pretentious and the HUD is very effective at drawing you in and keeping you immersed. Now, the bashing. Despite its pretensions; DS2 is not a proper horror game. I've always said that the best horror games will make players doubt what they can see, and fear what they cannot see. Dead Space 2 has meets neither of those requirements; there is a sub-plot involving hallucinations, but it has little effect on the gameplay and is only really there for cheap scares. The monsters you fight in the game lack any form of subtlety and will display themselves in full illumination; the opening scene especially being a perfect example of this game's lack of subtlety. Another niggling issue is the save points: you save your progress at different "save stations" dotted throughout the levels; not only are they out-of-place but they also ruin the immersion that the game tries so hard to achieve. This game is extremely long (10 hours) in proportion to how many ideas it has and would have benefited with having 5 of those chopped off of to make it less flabby. On top of that, the game isn't even that scary and will often throw buckets of gore and blood in your face in an attempt to scare you. So the biggest problem with DS2 is that it just can't decide what it's trying to be; switching between splattery gory action and morbid sentimentalism and creating jarring tonal shifts. Dead Space 2 is not a bad game: I don't deny that it is still quite fun to play, but it completely misses the point of what horror is about and while non-horror fans will probably be on the edge of their seat, those used to proper atmosphere are in for a bit of a flop. On a side note, I'm glad Visceral fixed that awful mouse movement from DS1. If you want a proper horror game, download "Slender"; if that doesn't scare you, nothing will.… Expand

    What it slightly loses in the Survival Horror department, it makes up for in spades with tighter, more responsive controls, a more fleshed out combat system with guns that pack more punch, character development with a much more personable Isaac from the first. a HUGE variety of environments, from both inside and outside Titan Station. One of the best sci-fi horror action games I've played.

However, it is not a game for children or pre-teens; parents you've been warned. It is a seething, brooding, merciless, shameless descent into a rich sci-fi backdrop of dark agendas and disastrous consequences. Imagery ranges from beautiful panoramic vistas of a sprawling outer-solar system pressurized metropolitan habitat, to grotesquely violent and spattering deaths of enemies, NPCs, and players alike. It's actually fun to die in this game just to see the gory results. This game does a good job of inventing futuristic ways to kill your character; if you can stomach the gore, the satisfyingly painful, squishy death scenes can help take some of the frustration out of having to replay an encounter. The graphics may not present many groundbreaking advanced render techniques, but they do the job well and help to create deeply immersing environments. Audio production is top notch; ambiance is moody and atmospheric, and monster noises are visceral and unnerving. The musical score is done right, and enhances the tension and thrills. While the audio environment significantly aids the game's ability to create these thrills, I found the visual appearance of the monsters themselves to be not all that scary. Maybe a lifetime of desensitization by exposure to modern horror movies containing disfigured mutants and copious amounts blood-spilling and dismemberment explains my lack of fear, and as a result I am no longer able to be scared by monsters on both the silver screen and the computer screen. Don't get me wrong, the monsters look good, and the dismemberment mechanic employed as the way to dispatch them never gets old (blowing them to pieces sure is fun), but whenever I encountered a new variety of enemy, my "just kill it" mentality over-rid my "cower in fear" reaction in a nano-second. That applies to all enemies except one... end mini-boss whom you can't kill and can only slow by shooting his limbs off and running before his legs regenerate. He is visually intimidating in a spine-tingling kind of way, and and as I watched him rise like the phoenix after I thought I had killed him, he created the first and only true "f*** me! RUN!" moment of the game that I experienced... which was awesome! Also very good is the level design. The environments are, yes, entirely linear, but are varied and interesting while managing to avoid repetitiveness. They range from frantic chases and extreme escapes, to claustrophobic and plodding corridor crawls, to monster-closet arena defenses. All of them fit the thematic elements of the game. They just make sense. Actually, there is nothing that doesn't make sense about this game... except the DRM (3 installs then I have to beg EA for more? That's pathetic customer service). I didn't delve into multiplayer much, but it is there and it is similar to Left 4 Dead's versus mode, which all I can say about it. The game length is just right; not to short, not too long. I finished it in about 15 hours exploring as much as I could and, importantly, I wasn't begging for it to end like I was in other games, such as the new Deus Ex (that game seemed like it would never end). However, like all story-driven singleplayer adventures, the replayability is VERY limited. All in all, it is a very well produced and gripping single player experience, and continues laying the groundwork for a lush sci-fi universe kicked off by the original. Solid 7/10.… Expand

    This is a brilliant follow up to Dead Space. The story logically advances and the feeling of being alone is lessened toward the end but is almost oppressive in the beginning. The writing is excellent; voice acting continues to be superb and to give Isaac a voice is very fitting.

    The game, which I played on Survivalist, was especially challenging toward the end particularly since it was my first play through. The reason this does not get a 10 is that I hit a bug at the very end that prevented me from saving, using the bench and the store and had Isaac stuck in sight mode, making it impossible to run and I needed I say NEEDED to be able to access the store and it also altered the saved game to leave me with the resources that I finished the level with instead of what I started with (only a dozen rounds total and a hell of a bunch of hard rooms to run through) and I ended up just finishing it in casual so I could finish the story and not go through those god awful rooms with no resources.

    This is a great series and a really well constructed story. This game has an excellent balance of action, loneliness and madness and progresses it logically to the much more action oriented Dead Space 3.    … Expand

(There are still some problems with camera angles when boxed into a corner but these are an irritation rather than a deal breaker.) DS2 also handles zero gravity in a far more intuitive, and enjoyable way, with none of the crazy hopping from one surface to another as in the first game. Now you can move freely, as you would expect. Also improved in DS2 is Isaac’s level of interaction. Now he speaks! This actually improves the experience more than might be expected, as it gives a greater sense that you’re involved in an unfolding story. The graphics are above average quality though not outstanding. The gameplay is improved by the introduction of more varied environments (although this is still very much a corridor shooter), and there are still plenty of tense moments when battling with enemies, some of which will be familiar if you played DS1, and some of which are new. When compared with the original DS2 is basically more of the same but with a number of welcome improvements and enhcncements. On a final note: I found it a little easier than the first, but that might be because of the improved controls and my familiarity with the gameplay second time around. Anyhoo, there’s still plenty of nerve-jangling fun to be had. Recommended, especially if you liked the original.    … Expand

    It helps lots if you have played DS1 first. Partly because the story is hard to follow otherwise, even though there is a re-cap video involved in the main menu.

Little did I realise I was playing it on the hardest setting.

    It helps lots if you have played DS1 first. Partly because the story is hard to follow otherwise, even though there is a re-cap video involved in the main menu. More importantly you need the experience of the first game to know what to do in situations. DS2 was my first foray into the series and the telekinesis opening panels was unfamiliar. Whereas if I had played DS1 first, it would be second nature. I was constantly referring to youtube coz I was getting stuck every, and I mean everywhere.

    Basically if it's your first DS game, it's tough. The puzzles, are tricky, again, youtube all the time.

    Purely on it's own merit I rate DS2 about 87%. it is as astonishing game, piece of work, whatever you want to call it. The survival horror element is pinned down perfectly, and exactly what I was looking for. It trumped DS1 easily as twice as good. DS1 was old and clunky, and felt like trying to work in a vat of treacle, compared to this.

    My first play through, I think I didn't save a node for stores unlocking. I found myself facing six foes with only seven shots. It was diabolically hard, without the experience of the first game.

    Plus I had an awful bug that made it crash in chapter thirteen, and the game ended there for me. I had to get help from EA to get that sorted. As it happened Ch. 13 is the my favourite level of the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the best Dead Space game! The controls and camera is much better in this game. Now on to what makes the game great! The opening is probably one of the coolest parts of any game I've ever played! You don't start out gunning down Necromorphs, you start out running for your life. No suit, no weapons, and low health. Now THAT is a way to start a game! The only thing that keeps this from being a perfect 10 is that it isn't scary. It is creepy but not scary. All it is is jump scares. It has great atmosphere. For those of you who didn't know, this game is inspired by System Shock 2. I don't know if the developers had System Shock 2 in mind as an inspiration or not but it has a lot of things that System Shock 2 has. Audio logs, mutated crew members, dark creepy corridors, bio-material growing everywhere, and someone who is helping you but turns out to be someone totally different or has other plans.

    An overall beautifully made game, couldn't ask for more out of a game. Out of any of the "Dead Space" series this has to be the best, keep it up EA, can't wait for Dead Space 4!

    Dead Space 2 is a sequel to 2008's Dead Space. Isaac is back but now as a
    badass engineer! Dead Space 2 tells Isaac's story in a new way, he is no
    longer a silent protagonist. Here we go.

    STORYLINE

    Three years after Isaac Clarke escaped the USG Ishumira fighting hoards
    of monsters named Necromorphs, he found himself at the Sprawl, a space
    station on the one of planet Jupiter's moon. He soon finds that another
    Necromorph outbreak has spread across the space station, and it's not too
    late for him to stop it. The Marker, the artifact which is turning dead
    bodies in Necromorphs needs to be destroyed in order to stop the outbreak.
    Isaac thought he saw the end of the artifact when he destroyed it back
    in the original Dead Space but things gets too crazy, his dead and annoying
    girlfriend is haunting him in his mind making him hallucinate frequently
    throughout the entire game. Isaac is like "It's time to find a new
    girlfriend!". As Isaac tries to escape the Sprawl, he also finds a few
    survivors, Isaac soon makes up his mind to end The Marker's treat instead
    of escaping, he helps the survivor escapes right after making 1 of them
    his girlfriend and jumps right in front of the Necromorphs like a badass
    as he slays his way to the artifact!

    WORLD

    Uh.... the USG Ishimura, if you have played the original Dead Space game,
    you are gonna miss it. Dead Space 2 takes place on Titan! Jupiter's largest
    moon, so it is a "space zombie outbreak in space". Sprawl is a cool space
    station, people live here which means Sprawl has hospitals, churches or the
    elementary, Dead Space 2 used all these ideas. Dead Space 2 is pretty linear
    but unlike the first one, there is no backtracking. You are going from
    1 side of the narrow, single path map to the other. Unlike the first game,
    this game has many NPCs, I found them very interesting because most of them
    I met throughout the game KILLED THEMSELVES in a minute after I met them, I know
    this is crazy but they really killed themselves because the Marker brainwashed
    them.

    The Church is one of the best level you will find in an horror game, this
    level is extremely decorated, gory and full of Necromorphs. The ambient screams
    will cause you to perform a perfect jumpscare. You will also be able to revisit
    the Ishimura for one last time, and it under reconstruction, as you walk in it,
    it makes you remember of the first mins of the original Dead Space, the tram is
    offline so you have to fly between decks, the Ishimura level is very dark since
    it is under reconstruction and there is no power due to the outbreak, it also
    brings back the original's Dead Space's enemy approach.

    The game also has a few open areas like cargo holds, 3 of the 4 cargo holds I
    found in the game were full of a bird-human hybrid Necromorphs that uses clever
    tactics to finish you for good.
    GAMEPLAY Go there and get this! Dead Space 2's Isaac is a badass when it comes to ripping space zombies off. This iconic Plasma Cutter can be purchased from the store if you have played the original and have a save game of it on your hard drive. The combat in this game is EXCELLENT, unlike the first one, the combat is more fluid and agile. Dismembering the limbs of nasty space zombies work better than ever. After all the great improvements in the combat, I didn't like the way the Necromorphs appoach you, I mean the improved combat is a step away from horror, at the beginning of each fight, you might get scared but when you have sighted you first target, it's like hoard mode, they swarm on you making the game more survival shooter than horror. Dead Space 2 doesn't feature many puzzles unlike the first one, but the puzzles in this one are better than the first game. The new hacking minigame can be fun but once you are interrupted by one of those space zombies, you will lose your hacking progress, things are more complicated and tough on higher difficulties so I recommend clearing all Necromorphs in the room before you focus on the puzzles. SETTINGS The game runs very smooth, the 2 or 3 cutscenes the game has are also well done, the dark visuals makes the game more atmospheric. The game constantly tries to scare you with noises in dark rooms instead of throwing Necromorphs at you. The animations in this game, just like combat has improved a lot, from the gun animations to the unique player death scenes, you remember those right? If you are living under a rock then let me tell what a unique player death is... when you don't concentrate on an Necromorph and if it manages sneaks behind you or near you, it will trigger a unique scene where the Necromorph will try to slice, eat or vaporize Isaac to death, the only way to survive this scene is to spam the "E" button on PC or the "X" button on consoles, otherwise the Necromorph will trigger a cutscene where it kills Isaac, each Necromorph has their own kill cutscene. These cutscenes are so cool that sometimes, you might just wanna be stupid and let the Necromorph kill you so you can just see the cutscene. The game also has no loading screens, once you load the game and you play and complete a chapter, the next chapter doesn't require loading, the game automatically loads it when you are in vents or elevators, it loads to so smooth as you play the game you will never feel that the game is actually loading. The game also features a New Game+ mode which makes the game more replayable on a higher difficulty, you get to keep your weapons, suits and upgrades and the mode also unlocks more of them which pulls you back into the game instantly after your first playthrough. =============================================================================== VERDICT Dead Space 2 is a huge improvement over the first one but the core of the game is still the same, go there, kill stuff, collect loot, solve the puzzle and watch the cool cutscene. This game has it's moments but I didn't like it because the improved combat removed most of the survival horror elements from the game but still I enjoyed it. Dead Space 2 is a MUST BUY game, it took me 10 hours on my first playthrough and I am really looking forward to the series. PROS- + BRUTAL COMBAT + DISMEMBERING + SOME INTENSE MOMENTS + USG ISHUMIRA REVISIT + CHURCH LEVEL + ATMOSPHERIC LEVEL DESIGN + UNIQUE PLAYER DEATHS + NECROMORPH VARIATION + AMBIENT SOUND DESIGN + FUN MULTIPLAYER + CAMPAIGN NEVER FLAWS + ICONIC ENEMY- UBERMORPH + NO LOAD SCREENS CONS- - DULL GO THERE MISSIONS - SAME MECHANICS - FORCES YOU TO SCARE OVERALL SCORE - 8.7 "IMPRESSIVE" ===============================================================================    … Expand

    This game truly serves the purpose of being both horror and action game. The new game mechanics make the character able to move more naturally and the game is more responsive than the previous one. The game has a lot of cool new features but without sacrificing much of the old content in the previous game.

    The first chapter at the hospital was promising. I liked how dark it was at times and how they've improved the animations and controls of the game. Isac had a voice and we could see his face more often, surely that will mean good things for the story....

    However. Once I progressed it became clearer to me that this wasn't really the game I hoped it would be.
    this wasn't the ultra scary horror that #1 was. This was just a gory 3rd person shooter...not a real Dead Space game to me. At times it was like spending afternoon at the mall mowing down a lot of zombies, nothing scary, just ammo consuming.

    Also I hoped the story would be even better than in the first one. Nope, the quality of writing was pretty bad. I'm not a huge lore-geek, but damn, I don't understand how they **** up this bad. Also the added sidekick-gurl-with-boobjob wasn't really adding anything to this game.

    There's again some puzzles in the game, I think they were a lot easier than in the first game, but that might be just me. Then there's also the door hacking which I disliked a lot... it was always the exact same thing 20 times, except the very last door has an unkillable enemy harassing you, bad design really.

    I think it's clear that Dead Space 1 was too scary for many people and EA wanted Dead Space 2 to fix that; make Isac more badass and the women more sexy. It's a shame really, but nothing new in the world of AAA-titles...

    Dead Space 2 isn't a horrible game, it's an okay game, some new fans of the series might even think it's amazing game. It just went less scary and more mainstream shooter, some people like it better that way. More importantly it will lead to more sales. Overall the visuals were a lot more varied, but it was never a problem in the first place for me, to me it was just something they did because this time they could.

    As a huge fan of the first game this one is a forgetable monster wave-killing game. Not a scary-scary scifi space shooter thriller. I won't be spending money on the 3rd game as I doubt the series will go back to it's roots    … Expand

    Dead Space 2 is in some way indentical to Dead Space 1, but it has a number of new things that manage to uplift Dead Space 2 from Dead Space 1. One thing that really made the game for me where those interactive cutscene things, just amazingly well-made.

    The character now moves much more relaxed. Do not feel the strange (in a good sense of the word) character weight. The different feel of the movement is the first noticeable change.

    The locations we visit are now much more varied. The graphics seem slightly tweaked (a bit more colourful, less gloomy brown). Environmental riddles, although they are straightforward, are satisfying—a lot of new solutions and references to the previous part. The locations are fascinating.

    There is more combat in this part. It's more action-packed. There are more opponents, and there is a greater variety of opponents. There are also more types of weapons and available upgrades - it made me slightly overwhelmed, but in the end, I was able to choose the ones that suited me best.

    It is also possible to unlock different types of suits and unique versions of weapons, but I haven't played long enough to unlock and check everything. I am not a completist.

    A few frustrating things, but it's possible that I played poorly. 1. Sometimes I ran out of ammo - entirely, and I had to run; 2. The return of the immortal opponent didn't heal - in the first part, I didn't like it either; 3. Sometimes there were so many opponents on the screen that I practically shot blindly.

    Ho giocato di recente al primo capitolo e l'ho davvero apprezzato, sapevo che il secondo fosse diverso e più "action" ma sono rimasto abbastanza deluso.
    Le valutazioni saranno fatte con un metro di giudizio attuale (2020) e in parte confrontando questo gioco con il predecessore.

    AUDIO E GRAFICA:
    Rispetto al capitolo precedente cambia poco o niente, molti elementi sono proprio gli stessi (comprese alcune ambientazioni).
    Ho notato un miglioramento nelle animazioni, ora più fluide e "legabili" tra di loro (ad esempio si può finalmente correre e ricaricare).
    Inoltre è stato migliorato il porting per PC, che gestisce meglio la sensibilità del mouse e le alte risoluzioni.

    Come per il primo capitolo ho inoltre utilizzato Reshade e le impostazioni di Nvidia per migliorare la grafica del gioco e limitare il gioco a 60 FPS invece che a 30.

    GAMEPLAY:
    Ci sono stati miglioramenti, anche se non particolarmente necessari, ma questi hanno portato anche a situazioni non molto riuscite secondo me.

    Il gameplay base è lo stesso, solo con qualche aggiunta o modifica come nuovi nemici, armi e poco altro.

    Quello che è cambiato davvero tanto è l'atmosfera creata dal gioco. Se il primo capitolo era angosciante e claustrofobico, qui l'atmosfera è più leggera ma allo stesso tempo sono state nettamente aumentate la frenesia e le situazioni action.
    I nemici singoli sono nettamente più deboli rispetto al passato, ma allo stesso tempo ne compaiono molti di più, a volte all'infinito o senza darti la possibilità di reagire. Ho giocato a "difficile" a differenza del primo che ho finito a "medio", ma mi è parso meno equilibrato, quasi punitivo. Spesso capita di prendere danno e non capire perchè o arrabbiarsi perchè non si poteva prevedere la situazione di pericolo.

    Discutibili alcune sessioni di volo che sembrano quasi dei rhythm game, inutilmente difficili, così come non ho apprezzato l'assenza di veri boss, sostituiti da "orde" spesso infinite.

    STORIA:
    In questo genere di giochi la storia serve quasi solo da collante per le azioni da svolgere. Se questa funzione nel primo capitolo era palese, con il puro alternarsi di problemi e soluzioni per motivare le azioni, in Dead Space 2 la situazione è migliore ma anche un po' più confusa.

    Mi è piaciuto il fatto che i capitoli non fossero tutti per forza definiti dallo spostamento a bordo della "metro" dell'Ishimura, ora sono molto più fluidi, e la storia è più uniforme. Allo stesso tempo ho trovato quella del predecessore molto più chiara e comprensibile.

    In conclusione, in attesa di giocare a Dead Space 3 per concludere la trilogia, se dovessi consigliare uno dei primi due capitoli propenderei assolutamente per il primo, secondo me superiore in tutti gli elementi più rilevanti.
    Non mi interessa che quasi tutte le bellissime idee di gameplay del primo siano state riproposte invariate nel secondo, non sono più un fattore decisivo.
    Dead Space 2 è un buon seguito, non molto inferiore tecnicamente ma che con pochi cambi stravolge l'atmosfera del gioco. Se uno preferisce l'azione e la difficoltà all'atmosfera e all'angoscia allora apprezzerà di più il secondo.

    VOTO: 7.5/10

    P.S.: Il fatto che con un aggiornamento abbiano sbloccato gratuitamente varie armi e corazze speciali dall'inizio della partita secondo me è un abominio. In un gioco single player e di questo genere bisogna sudare tutto e, anche se possono semplicemente non essere acquistati, solo la loro presenza è sintomo di qualche cosa che non va.    … Expand
