Note: I am brand new to the series (better late than never).I played the original Resident Evil when it first came out in 1996, and ever since then I’ve loved survival horror/third person action games. Dead Space 2 is another outstanding addition to both genres. I thought nothing could ever top Resident Evil 4 in terms of quality, design, and sheer fun, but Dead Space 2 comes pretty close. The hallmarks of this game are its extremely creepy and oftentimes grotesque atmosphere, thrilling action sequences, and high degree of customization of your weapons and items.I’ve written a pretty detailed review–mostly intended for those new to the series like I am, so I’ll give an abbreviated version with scores right below if you don’t want to read what I have to say for each aspect of the game:Gameplay: 5/5Atmosphere: 5/5Graphics: 5/5Sound: 5/5Mechanics/ease of control: 4/5Story: 4/5Overall: 5/5ATMOSPHERE/GRAPHICS:In many ways the settings/environments make this game. Each area of the game has its own unique scares and horrific imagery. One aspect that I really liked was that the game throws you right in the deep end, forcing you to cope with enemies right from the start, and you never look back. This contrasts with many games (Resident evil 4/5, Half-Life, Doom 3, FEAR) in which everything starts quiet and normal, and then the situation quickly turns chaotic. The feeling of being hunted while unarmed and trying to figure your way out of the initial 20 minutes of the game really adde.
The original Dead Space has remained the most well-received survival-horror game of this generation, and Dead Space 2 continues that in a responsible manner.The story is a bit convoluted, but if you manage to grasp to essential parts of the story, it’s mind-evoking and intriguing. The combination of sci-fi elements, aliens, and insanity creates an experience that strays from the conventions of most survival horror titles we’ve come to love and enjoy (i.e. Resident Evil and Silent Hill).Gameplay is smooth, even more-so than its predecessor. There are a handful of weapons, each of which are satisfying to use, so you’ll be flooding online message boards with questions in no-time. The puzzle sequences get a bit annoying, but do help add some variety, although I reckon the game didn’t need it due to its amazing atmosphere. There are several key gameplay elements such as Zero G, and alternate fire modes that really give the game life. No qualms here.The presentation is simply outstanding. The graphics are solid, and although textures don’t compare to the likes of juggernauts such as Uncharted 2 and Killzone 3, the environmental effects, and shadows are nothing to scoff at. One of the best things about the game is a quality that is shared between both this title and its older brother: the audio. Aural effects are creepy, and create an environment where you never feel safe. Voice acting is executed well, and doesn’t hamper the story. Also, the way conversations are presented is parti.
Still on the fence about Dead Space 2?? Still haven’t played the original yet?? Well then the best thing you can do for yourself is spend $15, pick up a copy of the original game, and give it a play (alone… at night… and with the lights off of course)That’s how much I paid for it a few months ago as a newcomer to the Dead Space universe. What I found was an absolute gem of a game that kept me riveted in both dread and awe the entire time I played it. I can still recall the sense of amazement I felt the first time I stepped out into the Zero-G vacuum of space, and looked up at Aegis VII dominating the horizon, my breathing the only audible sound. The game was (almost!) a complete masterpiece from beginning to end, doling out a near perfect balance of tension, action, and epic science fiction set pieces.Contrary to some of the negative reviews you’ll read here at retrolio, I believe that Visceral got just about everything right with this sequel. They didn’t try to reinvent the wheel and kept the core gameplay intact, yet with enough enhancements that it feels more polished and improved over the original. Graphics are crisper, movement is smoother and more responsive, sounds are sharper (although I did have to boost the speech volume and lower the effects volume in order to clearly hear the dialogue), and new elements such as full range Zero-G movement really opened up some of the levels allowing for added puzzle solving. Visceral also cut a lot of the fat off and remo.
I am not that big of a fan of horror games but this game is quiet the delight. It has the best sound I’ve heard, making the atmosphere very suspenseful and dramatically horrifying. There’s a reason why they won awards for their sound design. The gameplay was like the first game, very straightforward & focused. The movement is smooth but still very limited, although that is part of the design and it adds to the fear. There are a lot of tense moments where you are overwhelmed with monsters that pop up from everywhere, but that is the fun of it. The guns have been vastly improved and given better secondary fire as well as a few new weapons that are actually weapons and not engineering tools, and are very cool. There are a few new types of necromorphs, giving more variety. The story was alright for me, nothing too special about it, but it’s enough to keep the game going. Overall the single player was one of those games where I wanted to stop playing because theres too many suspenseful and scary moments but I still played it because it was so satisfying getting through the stage and killing those necromorphs using various powers and guns. Almost everything improved from the first game, the graphics, the gameplay, the sound, although the story doesn’t do much better than the first. I would recommend this game anytime.The multiplayer on the other hand, is just a bonus to it. It is a very basic objective based 4 vs. 4, necro vs. human game. It is fun for the first week or two but get.
The original Dead Space brought back pure terror to video games. Something the survival horror genre was sorely lacking with the Resident Evil series moving so heavily towards action. It was truly special. Now with the sequel, they have upped the ante and doubled down on the terror and horror of being stranded and alone in space. I like the slight twist of action in the game as it only really adds to the experience. Issac is even more engaging, as it deals with his fractured psyche. Even the HD edition of Dead Space:Extraction is tons of fun and adds to the mythology of the story. Pretty cool addition. What was absolutely unnecessary was the addition of multiplayer. I know so many companies tack this onto their games to increase the replay value with gamers now demanding this as a requirement to even play. But, it just doesn’t fit and is maybe interesting if you’re bored. Other than that, definitely a great sequel and comes highly recommended.
Put on a set of headphones and turn off the lights and get ready for your heart to start racing. Dead Space 1 & 2 are both one of a kind great games. I highly recommend playing ds 1 first to really understand the storyline.The controls are much more tight in ds 2 and and Isaac moves much more freely. There are no ridiculously impossible boss fights as in the first ds where you had to die more than a few times before figuring out the battle, even on casual difficulty.You definitely will have trouble falling asleep after playing this game at night, especially with the lights off and the sound turned up. It’s that fricking scary.I highly recommend you buy this game but get ds 1 first. Hell just buy both right now. They’re both dirt cheap on retrolio. Load up the games and get ready for a non-stop necromorph onslaught.
Simply put I loved the original Dead Space and thus when Dead Space 2 came out it was a day 1 purchase for me. After finishing the game (~14h) and playing multiplayer for couple of hours this is what I thought.***********PROS************A SURVIVAL HORROR: While Dead Space 2 is slightly deviating from Dead Space 1 in terms of it is being more cinematic (more dramatic cut scenes, more depiction Isaac as a character etc.), Dead Space 2 is still a survival horror. You will have to be careful of your surroundings, you will have to be careful about conserving your ammo and you will have to have to use different items you gain in the game very wisely to get through the game on normal or harder modes. So unlike games like Resident Evil, which has moved to purely action/adventure, Dead Space 2 is still a survival horror.ATTENTION TO DETAIL CREATING SPACE ENVIRONMENT: One of the reasons I loved Dead Space 1 and now Dead Space 2, is it is horror in space. In Dead Space 1 you are surviving in a space ship abandoned in Space and in this game you are doing similar in a city in space that is going through similar terror. While you may find these two settings very similar, there are some aspects that truly distinguish Dead Space 2 from 1. One of them being taking place in a city, you will have much greater variety in environment compared to Dead Space 1 and everything is designed so craftily that it actually feels like you are in the futuristic city in space. I truly want to give you example.
The original Dead Space had a nice advantage of taking relatively low expectations and generally blowing them away. I liken my experience with it to my first viewing of the Matrix…I didn’t expect much but was incredibly surprised. Dead Space 2, for me, was more like having breakfast at grandmother’s house…I had high expectations, and generally got exactly what I wanted. That may make it sound like a disappointment, but that is far from the truth (and then again you never had breakfast at my grandma’s). Both the original and its successor have for me a large list of merits (as well as a few flaws), but overall I loved both games. Even after playing each more than once and back to back, it’s hard for me to say which is my favorite, and I consider that high praise for DS2.DS2 feels very much like its predecessor, in terms of gameplay and story. The developers, however, are to be complimented for some nice improvements. As much as Dead Space looked great, the graphical improvement in DS2 is noticeable from the start. Gameplay is very similar, but has been tightened up in ways that felt exactly right for me. Implementation of zero gravity is much better this time around, and gone are the frustrating tourret sequences. I’ve read and heard much about whether the sequel’s story is in some way inferior, but for me it was very much like the first one. I played the original on its own (without benefit of any of the other media), and felt the story was interesting but generally ju.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this game since i never played the first one.It’s been a while since i wanted play a good horror game, and DS2 does a good job. the single player campaign is very enjoyable, I really like the atmosphere this game delivers, sometimes you’ll find yourself walking through deserted and creepy hallways and suddenly you’ll be forced to fight waves of disturbing creatures and then you’ll be walking alone again, I’m really enjoying the camping so far.The multiplayer is not something revolutionary but it’s alright. When playing on the human team you’ll have to accomplish some objectives, but to be honest it’s kinda hard to accomplish those objectives since you need teamwork and there’s always someone that wants to play ‘ala rambo’ so i just give up on trying to complete the missions and i just try to kill as many enemies as i can. I thing i do like about the MP is playing as a necromorph, specially when i play as ‘the pack’.
As an overview Dead Space 2 is fantastic, one of the BEST games i have played this gen, or all time as a matter of fact. Every aspect of the game is nailed with mastery and outstanding quality. The atmosphere is gritty, dark enough to set the right mood (scary!) but not to the point of being annoying. After playing through half the campaign one might think that the game wont scare you anymore because it is “deciphered”, wrong! This game keeps getting one off guard at any given corner. The characters are well developed, nothing spectacular but it fits just right. I did not liked the original that much, but the sequel caught me off guard and im hooked! I have not touched the online, not for me on this game.Love the game, would recommend to anyone with a sweet tooth for high quality games, Dead Space 2 delivers the goods and then some

Three years have passed since the events of Dead Space, in which Isaac Clarke survived the bloody ravaging of a mutated crew and a slew of monsters called necromorphs aboard the USG Ishamura, a planetary mining ship that found itself stranded in space. After escaping the Ishamura and being rescued by an EarthGov ship, Clarke now finds himself locked-up in an asylum aboard the Sprawl, a massive space-station orbiting Jupiter. Sure enough, the Sprawl proves to be no safer than the Ishamura and is quickly filled with monsters and spilled blood.Dead Space 2 opens with a brief cinematic to get players caught up before dumping them into an insanely addictive game of survival-horror. The game’s opening moments are an exhilarating rush that underscores its mission statement well: hooking gamers with ripe moments of shock-value, intense action, and the primary aim of simply surviving against overwhelming odds. When you first gain control of Clarke, he is manacled in a straight-jacket and trapped in a dark room filled with necromorphs. The only way out is through, and players are tasked with running around a series of obstacles while avoiding the blood-thirsty ghouls around them. It’s a fun introduction to the dynamics of the game as players are naturally guided through the combat and control systems along the way. As a tutorial, it functions organically within the game and is made compelling simply out of sheer necessity. It provides a quick learning curve, but little breathin.

I am playing this game again on the harder level. I love how many levels this game is. Most games now are for online play and they have like only 5 levels. This one has 15! This game is really hard to loose at on the normal level. There are tons of save points, checkpoints(if you miss a save before you turn it off and die)ammo and health(you can also buy at the store throughout the game). I also like the store use in this game. You earn money and find things to sell for money at the store. You can even store things for later use if you would like. That is a really good feature as you can only ‘hold’ so many items on your suit(stronger suits hold more items). You work through the game adding money from which to upgrade and buy items and suits that have added strengths. Most games do not differ much from one hardness to the next but this is a little different. You can beat the game and play again and keep all your weapons their upgrades. The monsters are the same as they were before but harder to kill(but you have your upgraded weapons!) You now find less money and ammo and weapon upgrades to add. You can get even better suits of armor as well. If you really feel nuts you can play the "insane" hardest version. I will not go into detail here but suffice it to say that it is almost unheard of what they did. Check the play by play websites for the info on this. I like this game and would recommend this to anyone who just wants a good game to play and shoot some nasty mutan.

After years of watching Zaranyzerak play the Dead Space games on youtube, I got a PS3 JUST to play all three games. Very cool. I thought that the controls were a lot better in this second game. DS2 isn’t as creepy as the first game, but the gameplay is much improved. And you actually get to hear Issac speak in this game….though I’m not sure that that’s a good thing. I liked it when he was silent. DS2 is much harder than the first game, though after you play it through a few times and build up upgraded weapons, nodes, and suit and suit power, it’s not so tough.

I haven’t played a survival horror game since Resident Evil: Code Veronica, so I’m a bit out of practice. I must say though that Dead Space 2 was immensely enjoyable through the (what took me) 11 hour ride from start to finish (medium difficulty). I felt like the game was just long enough and actually wished it kept going, but once I beat it I immediately began New Game+.The story is really well done, well acted, perfectly paced – I feel like the psychological aspect could have been used more, but the ending nailed it. Having never played Dead Space 1 I can’t really compare, but I really enjoyed playing this and had a hard time putting the controller down. Visceral really nailed the atmosphere in all aspects, a brilliant effort. They do a really great job of making you/Isaac feel like a hardcore bad A necromorph killer and I loved it. I remember thinking “That would be awesome if they played rock music when you upgrade your suit” fully knowing most games never nail these moments. First time I suited Isaac up, rock music hit and put a giant smile on my face.My sole complaint is that I got very tired with the ambush moments. I realize this is a staple of the genre, but I would find myself walking through a level, entering a giant room and thinking to myself, this is where the ambush will happen. 9 times out of 10 I was right.I do have another small critique, but it’s a minor spoiler so I’ll include it in the Comments section – but please know this is merely my opinion. Overall.

This game is my favorite then the original dead space. The original was scary and this is just the same with even more monsters longer game and great new monsters. I like how they added new gameplay elements like fighting in space with huge monsters and the train level is extremely epic with a stand out story other games need to study the gameplay design to this because its marvelous I think only Assassins creed Brotherhood is the only other game that has the best of both worlds like this. A huge frightening story at 2o hours and a great multiplayer where your are both 4 isaacs fighting the beasts or you are the beasts hunting the humans being the kiddies as i like to call them jumping on their heads and splitting them open. Plus they added a free map pack which is great to keep supporting the game and you level up your online character to get new stuff a la call of duty. And also the ps3 version has the exclusive dead space extraction which is great with 2 player coop me and my girlfriend loved it and she rarely plays games much like rockband littlebigplanet but the ps move controls were excellent. 3 games for the price of one and now at 39.99 is like a steal. Well im gonna get back to hardcore mode that only lets u save 3 times and get killed like a million times lol for that platinum trophy.

In the year 2511 in a densely populated city called the Sprawl, Isaac Clarke wakes up wearing a straight jacket. Things are disorienting and dark. A man is standing in front of him talking quickly as if something is wrong. He’s telling Isaac that he’s got to get out of the Sprawl, that they’ve got to go now. Before he has a chance to free Isaac’s bonds, a necromorph attacks the man from behind, impaling him with its razor-sharp limbs. Isaac shrugs the man and monster aside and begins running for his life, through dark and ruined corridors. All around necromorphs are appearing, snarling and pursing Isaac as he flees. So begins Dead Space 2.The game is a direct sequel to the bestselling Dead Space. It continues the story that began with the events that happened aboard the USG Ishimura and the return of the Marker. The Church of Unitology is expanded more, as is the science and culture of the times. The Sprawl is located on a shard of Titan, a moon of Saturn, and this metropolis is basically one large space station. Schools, hospitals, churches, malls, and many other sites exist in the city and all fall to the destruction of the necromorphs.Throughout the game, Isaac makes his way around the city, looking for a way to stop the dementia affecting his mind and to stop the affects of the Marker. On his journey he must work out many puzzles (good thing he’s an engineer) to get through the wasted city.Many things are similar between the first and second games. Gameplay i.

Purchased for my grandson. It came on time and he tells me that he loves it. He even has a t-shirt depicting a logo or something about it. I know nothing about any of this since it is so completely out of my age group. My grandson is a very good with anything paranormal or sci-fi and he looked it up on retrolio and told me about it and I purchased it for him.

this game was absolutely epic. i don’t know how to describe my utter overjoy when i got a couple chapters into this game. the game play is so much smoother and Isaac moves a lot faster, which allows for better fighting. i never even knew you could beat a necromorph to death until playing dead space 2, since in the first one Isaac moved so painfully slow after every melee or stomp that it was practically a death wish to attempt to hit them more than once. honestly, one of my favorite parts of this one is that the player has so much more control over the objects in the setting. i spent much time busting through glass windows, vases, bars, and hitting miscellaneous objects sitting upright on desks, just because i could :) i am one of those people who did get very jumpy and anxious while playing dead space due to the surprise attacks and not wanting poor isaac to lose his life, and i can say that dead space 2 had the same exact effect on me. going from playing dead space to dead space 2 was mind blowing, all the things i loved about dead space just got 5x better in the second one. it’s a great game, my favorite, and i recommend it to all of my friends.

This game is what all the reviewers of major gaming websites are saying because this is a monster of a sequel. If you liked the first Dead Space then you will definitely like number 2. The gameplay is the same as the first game and little has changed from the first game. There are however many more weapons and suits to choose from and this makes the game better with having more of a variety of weapons to choose from. The guns are little different than what they were in the first one like the ripper is different than in the first game with having a shorter range and a bigger blade. The bigger blade makes it so you can see it a lot more clearly than you did in the first game. Another addition to Dead Space 2 is multiplayer which I do have to say is ridiculously unbalanced you fight as an engineers or a necromorph but when you fight as a necromorph you are always at a disadvantage and you wont stand a chance against the engineer team. I really like Dead Space 2 and if you liked the first game then pick this one up because you won’t be disappointed.

If you enjoyed the first game, then you’re gonna like this one as well. It’s got everything that made the first one good and then some, overall they improved on everything. The story is entertaining, and the new suits look great. Each suit also has a bonus effect on it which may influence your decision on what suit to wear.All the weapons from the first game are in this one along with a few new additions, so there’s a lot of fun to be had using all the different weapons in the game to slay some Necromorphs. There are a few suits that you are only able to find after playing through the game on subsequent playthroughs on a new game + mode, and there are others that you get from clearing the game on a specific difficulty setting. In a new game + mode your inventory is carried over from your last save point into your new game. This is a nice feature because it adds replay value to the game, and it’s just fun to have access to your favorite weapons early on that you’re not supposed to get until later in the game.This game looks a little darker to me than the first one. I never had any problems seeing things in the first one, but in this game I had to adjust the settings on my TV along with the in game brightness, until I found something that worked nicely.I tried the online multiplayer once, and it was fun to get the chance to play as a Necromorph. It’s a nice addition, but I’m more interested in the single player mode, which is loads of fun. If you love a good challenge then ther.
