The definitive survival horror game of this generation !!
Dead Space 2 does nothing but slightly improve upon what its predecessor did. First let's talk about the story, the game starts three years after the events of the first game, isaac finds himself on the sprawl, and the moment he wakes him he finds himself on a city where the necromorph outbreak has broken loose.I wont spoil too much but just know that isaac now has voice
and during his trip on the sprawl he will meet up with an impressive cast of characters, the story isnt that genius but it's great and it's isaac's story that is really the point of interest here. Story 8.5/10
As for the graphics, well they are simply stunning just like the first game the visuals really help create that kind of nightmarish atmosphere. The game is just full of gore and a lot of bloody stuff the environments are also well designed and offer an impressive feel of the game's visual style. Also isaac looks great as well as the other characters. Graphics 9/10
The gameplay is as addictive as ever, dismembering the necromorphs never gets old and once you have beaten the game you will wanna go for a second playthrough to smash the morphs with an impressive arsenal of weapons including all of which were available in the first game but dont ever think that you are always safe because of you firepower because the ammo is so scarce that you will be spending a lot of credits at the store to buy ammo for your guns but still it wont be enough. the gameplay's only problem is there is nothing new, there is still TK and stasis and the new TK impalement mechanic is a welcome addition but it's just a small tweak that doesn't really do anything totally new. Gameplay 9.5/10
And the Sound, well if you have played DS1, you will know that the sound design plays a gigantic role creating DS's terrifying atmosphere, i personally think that without the creepy sound the game wouldn't have been that scary.
The sound is just brilliant and it made jump out of my chair because it was simply scary and creepy as ever. Sound 10/10
Finally there is no doubt that this is the definitive survival horror game of the generation. Despite that it contains a lot of action packed moments when it return to the horrific moments it's just scary as hell. Dead Space 2 may not be totally scary like the first one and it may not have done anything new like its predecessor did but when it's scary it's scarier than the first one and what it does is just enough to have your attention. oh and by the way if you buy it on PS3 you will be getting Dead Space Extraction full game along with move support. if you are a survival horror fan you owe it to yourself to buy Dead Space 2.
