A brilliant & tense game spoiled by bugs
Dead Space 2 is a classic survival horror that will have you crapping your pants in many sections. The combat is awesome but do yourself a favour and don't stick to the "safe guns" plasma cutter and pulse rifle are boring.
There are too many bugs which really break the mood. Like carting items from one room to another simply doesn't work half the time. Falling through lifts, stupid lag for no reasons, and lift doors that simply don't open.
Despite all the bugs its still a fantastic game worth every penny. If you can handle the horror it's a real beauty of a game.

I really really enjoyed Dead Space 2 from chapters 1 to 5 but in the middle of chapter 6 I've experienced so many bugs that the game has become unbearable.
One has to review a game based on everything and that includes how well it plays. Sadly Dead Space is hugely disappointing if you have the misfortune of experiencing any bugs the game becomes unplayable - literally.
I'm currently stuck in Chapter 6 because a lift door will simply not open. The game lags horrendously where before it was smooth on my GTX460 1gig, i7920 and 12GB Ram. With all my hardware checked and rechecked and seeing how many other people have experienced these problems it's very sad to see this happen.
I hope EA release a patch quickly and maybe I can come back and edit this review but for the moment the bugs outweigh the games positive moments.
Wait for a patch before you buy this game. Poor technical testing guys, very poor.
