Dead Space 2

krampus's Dead Space 2 (PlayStation 3) review

Excellent Sequel

There really isn't much to say that hasn't been touched on already.  This game is great, it's received tons of excellent reviews and playing through it makes it very obvious why that is.  This game not only matches but surpasses the first Dead Space in every area.  It is longer, the controls are tweaked and a little bit tighter, the pacing is better and the story is even more gripping.  While I didn't have an immediate desire to play through Dead Space a second time once I had finished it I found myself steering Isaac through the story of Dead Space 2 once again immediately upon completing it the first time.  This is how you makes a fucked up horror video game.

Baseball phrasing aside however, it was a very welcomed surprise regardless or at least I hoped it would be, especially considering the quality of its predecessor and yet it doesn...
