Dead Space 2 (2011 Video Game)
6/10
Dead Space 2 is not a masterpiece like Dead Space 1

Warning: Spoilers
Very good action-survival-horror game but not on the level of the first game.

Too many fast enemies variety spawn from all directions in some rooms and you die in ridiculous spots because of this - 5-6 nerve breaking levels. Atmosphere, Immersion & Horror feeling is now levels down because Aizak speaks which depletes you from "being alone in space" vibe from the 1st game, also too many cutscenes, random voice dialogues & action scenes which take control of you and it reminds you that you play a game instead. Story does not interests you at all as you are in a space town trying to find the 2nd marker. There are some stupid puzzles and gravity rooms that are not interesting, you have to hack consoles in every rooms which is stupid. Gunplay is great and there is a vast variety of weapons, double the 1st game. (Played w/t Javelin and it is 1-2 shots enemies no matter where you shoot them). You can change in-game difficulty which is a plus (done once). Overall the game is more action-survival than horror-survival like the 1st game and the difficulty is higher on normal because of annoying fast moving enemies with whom you have to span stun and kill afterwards.
