IGN reviews Dead Space 2...

It got a 9.0 but towards the end the reviewer says that the MP is flat and that he hoped the SP had a more developed plot-- which is exactly what I feared. Your thoughts?

Doesn't surprise me.

Surely the Devs should know that Dead Space is a game that doesn't need multiplayer. I also don't recall fans of Dead Space ever crying out for multiplayer modes. They should have just made the singleplayer longer and more engaging. It lets the game down when they tag on multiplayer modes - same thing happened with Bioshock 2.

I enjoyed Dead Space and I'll be buying Dead Space 2 when it releases, but I won't bother with the multiplayer.

I'v eplayed quite alot of dead space 2 before the actuall release, and I would recommend it to anyone. Never got to try the multiplayer though. This is the only IGN review I have ever agreed on though

:P

It just goes to show that not every game needs to have a MP mode. Hopefully EA don't try too tack on a MP mode for Mass Effect 3 and there other games which don't need MP like they said they plan on doing. -Hoax-

Yeah I really hope not... it would be rather disappointing to have the ME singleplayer be ruined by a unneeded multiplayer mode.

Tacked on multiplayer or not,this game deserves everyones attentions lol

The game is going to be awesome. I'm really excited for Tuesday. Got my CE pre-ordered. Can't wait to dismember even more limbs!

I hate how developers seem to think they're obligated to add MP even on games like Dead Space that have an awesome SP with no need for MP. Sure, if they put sufficient effort in it to make it fun, go for it. But otherwise it just feels like an afterthought.

I'll still be picking it up, tacked-on MP or not.

LOL, tacked on MP, I knew it would be bad going by the vids I saw, and I like how he didn't say a good thing about it.

Anyways, whenever possible I should try it, glad to hear it's over 10 hours.

I was in the DS2 beta, its fun the first few times but I don't see myself playing it daily. I only want that game for it's single player gameplay.

They called it the best horror game of this generation and a must own....I swear there are people who will constantly search for something to complain about just to complain. The first DS was great. I will buy DS2 day 1.Ninja_Zombie83

I want this game NAO! :D

I only care about the singleplayer, which will be awesome :)

Oh, just for you guys to know, the archivements list (i dont know how it will translate to trophies tho'):

Hardcore seems to be even more difficult than what "Impossible" was in the 1st game, looks cool :D (Hardcore gives less items/money, more damage and no checkpoints, and you can save only 3 times)

Oh, and no online ones.

A 9 is certainly a great score. Fantastic score in fact. I was in the online beta and enjoyed the multiplayer quite a bit, and I'm not usually a fan of multiplayer at all. And that was with only one map. As far as the story, the first one didn't really have much of a story either, and it was still one of my favorite games of all time.

Three more days!
