There are only two words to descibe this game "TRUE TERRROOOORRRRRR". Ive been playing games since i was 5 year old. and im 35 now. you do the math. in 1980 i got my first home computer. great but surival horror didnt exist. ive played all platforms, all makes. remeber (all you survival horror fans) the first time you played resident evil and those dogs jumped through th window (you all know what i mean) and the shere terror. dead space 2 makes every single survival horror game you have ever played look li9ke marrio. ok, its only a short game. I have just played it through on the game + option and kiled it in 6 hours. "6 hours you say?" the first time i played..........lokking in every corner......never enough ammo.........and they dont stop coming............aaaarrrrgggghhhhhh. a phenominal peace of gaming art

and the pc port is flawless. those of us who know dead space 1 and the metorite mini game know frustration(good job i did it o 360). There are no frustrations like this in 2. ive got a pc 360 controller and it works like it should.

and the rig. who ever designed that deseves a knighthood. again, no clutter. and when it all kicks of and sometimes you cant see your health just listen to isaks voice. when he starts deep breathing your in trouble.

the next thing all us hard core gamers must pay homage to. there are bits and bobs where you have to climb through air duckts. nothing ever happens and you cant use weapopns ect. then i realised........its how the programmers load the next area. absoloutlely genius. if you play you will notice there are no loading screens. the only time you have to wait is for a lift. and when theres a crap load of bnecros behind you you dont care.

but anyway, remeber resident evil?
the loading times with the doors?
the doors have turned into crawling through air ducts. a brilliant peice of design.
poo(i wanty to use the word but cant) to gears of war. these guys deserve the game of the year.

so yes its good. play it. with the lights of. ;)

  Strait from the beginning of Dead Space 2, you can already see that it's a huge improvement from the first. While Dead Space 2 is allot more action paced and cinematic, it still manages to keep loads the scares high and... Read Full Review
