Dead Space 2 or Heavy Rain?

Tough choice. I think I'd go with Dead Space 2 especially if you're into playing games online.

Hard because they're nothing like each other.... What type of game do you like more? Heavy Rain's like a movie and Dead Space 2 is a horror surival?

I would say DS2

Heavy Rain

If you're a like me, you will hate the horrid screen tearing in HR, which is why I didn't buy it unfortunately. On the other hand, Dead Space 1&2 are technically rock solid, very good gameplay, excellent storytelling, awesome sounds, and just a fantastic atmosphere if you're into horror, action/suspense. I say go with Dead Space 2, especially if you played the first and want to continue the story.

Both! :P

definitely DS2 - now I'll say I haven't played DS2 yet (in the mail on the way to me), but I did play both DS1 and HR - DS1 took me totally by surprise and immediately became one of my favorite games of all time - heavy rain...not so much - now heavy rain is a good rental to experience something unique, but once I played through it over the course of a few days I had no desire whatsoever to ever play it again - I also was not terrible impressed - I loaded up a new game of DS1 right away after my 1st playthrough though

If your renting either go for Heavy Rain... but to be honest there's absoultely no replayability besides trophies and it's done quick...... Dead Space if your buying as there's more replayability.

Heavy Rain has plenty of replay, I've played through it multiple times to see all of the different outcomes.

All of the endings = Trophies... lol, the game is story based.... if you already know the story whats the point? All the endings can be acheived quite easily so I don't consider that much replayability....

Love them both, but Dead Space 2 recently snagged my all time favorite game spot

.... Like of all time? It's a good game but it's kinda boring lol, and it has the pinnacle of tagged on multiplayer.

DS2 is more a game compared to Heavy Rain. Heavy Rain is an experience. emitsu97

Let me put it this way:

First playthrough: Play the game the way you want (You'll also probably make mistakes)

Seconds playthrough: Do everything correctly

Third playthrough: [spoiler] Get the Perfect Crime ending/trophy [/spoiler]

I reckon Heavy Rain. I just got Dead space and its very good (#1's better IMO) but HEavy Rain has a better experience and it isnt frustrating (Like Dead Space 2 toward the end :P)

I would go for Dead Space, having played both games its just my personal preferance.

I'd say Heavy Rain.

Never played Heavy Rain, but I want to try it out. I'm waiting for a decent price drop to happen.

You should get both if there is any possibility of that happening. But if you have to prefer one, Heavy Rain edges it - completely unique.

I'm going to play it soon, but since the first game is my favourite ever, I'm sure Dead Space 2 will follow in similar fashion. Dead Space 2 FTW!

I can not even begin to compare these 2 games.

To people that have played both, which is more enjoyable and just a better game overall?SharpieMarker24

Are you serious?

Really? Really!

One game is the best at what it does while the other has got to be one of the worst games ever released.

Dead Space 2 provides far more fun than any game in that genre, while Heavy Rain is a good example of "How NOT to do it" when it comes to making any kind of game.

So yeah, pure gold vs pure ****. I'd go for the gold if I were you.
