  • Summary: Hero Isaac Clarke returns for another heart-pounding adventure, taking the fight to the Necromorphs in this thrilling action-horror experience. New tools to gruesomely slice and dismember the Necromorphs complement Isaac's signature Plasma Cutter, empowering him as he meets new characters, explores epic Zero-G environments, and fights against a relentless necromorph onslaught. Survival isn't the only thing on Isaac's mind in Dead Space 2 – this time, he calls the shots. [Electronic Arts] Expand

    Take the multiplayer for what it is -- a fun digression from the enthralling action on The Sprawl -- and DS2 comfortably sits waiting for the other Game of the Year nominees for 2011.

    Not only has Dead Space 2 set the bar impossibly high for all future survival horror games, it is one of the few PS3 games that is virtually identical in gameplay and technical quality to the Xbox 360. T

    Perhaps the lack of anything new limits the impact of this sequel. The storyline isn't riveting, far from it in fact, but for players who reached the end in the original; you'll want to see what else is going on in the Dead Space universe.

  1. When i saw and played Dead Space 2, i noticed that it lost ( in not a big way but it did ) the fear factor. It focused more in the action and not in the genius way or creative to frightening my spine. The sequel is awesome, there is a lot of big improvement in the gameplay,graphics and the cool story. Such memorable experience will be find here, gosh!!, those huge explosion's . Expand

    More of the same: terrible level design, cheap enemy spawning, poorly thought-out mechanics (avoiding monsters who are lying down is a snap: if you can pull a body toward you with kinesis, it's just a corpse. If for some inexplicable reason your kinesis won't work, it's a necromorph waiting to ambush you), etc. It's frustrating that the overall gameplay and sound design are so excellent, because everything else is complete crap.
