For example, there are countless times you enter a bloodied bathroom expecting something to jump out. Over and over again the game lets you off the hook. You worry every single time you enter one. Making you keep your guard up constantly was what this title excels at.
   
   Overall it is an engaging and thrilling experience that could not be polished further.… Expand

The fact that I only paid a few quid for it on Steam meant it didn't bother me as much, but they should have picked up on the control thing.
   
   However, when Dead Space 2 came out I thought I would give it another try and decided to play as a console player, PC connected to the TV and using an Xbox controller. The controls took a little getting used to but then I soon got the hand of it. In a way slightly more difficult control method added to the atmosphere in a similar way that the Wii controls added to the Resident Evil 4 experience.
   The game itself seemed incredibly long and is very atmospheric, it reminded me somewhat of Event Horizon and is very gory. Overall worth a punt if you are willing to make a few concessions.… Expand

Was wondering what the hype was all about for Dead Space 2. I now know. Dead Space is an incredible game, great storyline and probably the best fiver I spent on a game which is about three years old. As good as that first feeling you got when playing the first Resident Evil, though that's a poor comparison. Dead Space sucks you into it's madness and chaos, leaving you gasping for a breather. Definitely going to grab Dead Space 2.… Expand

   Only thing stopping this from a 10 is the average console port of the control system and FOV.… Expand

   This game does something I absolutely love. Minimal, in world UI.

   Health and other information is always available to see, but its not bolted to the upper left corner which allows the player to focus on what matters, namely where they are shooting.
   
   A heads up for anyone reading this, the game was definitely built for a console and that can certainly be felt in the design and control of the game. The PC version is certainly very playable on a controller, but it requires adjustments to use mouse & keyboard comfortably.… Expand

   Плюсы:
   1. Графика для 2008 года топовая, даже в нынешних реалиях выглядит вполне неплохо;
   2. Крутая оптимизация: на слабом железе игра идет без вылетов, фризов, лагов и т.д.;
   3. Невероятная атмосфера;
   4. Незамысловатый, добротный геймплей;
   Минусы:
   1. Полностью вырезали русский язык;
   2. Различные баги (мобы в текстурах, кривая сенса и т.д.), но справедливости ради игра всё таки 2008 года.… Expand
