Whereas in the first game you only had to worry about the small crew becoming infected, here the threat is much larger, as the Sprawl is literally a bustling Mecca of life, complete with shopping districts, schools and yes, even nurseries. The new setting works well for the game, as now you've got a lot more to deal with. Taking place in 2511, a mere three years after the events of the original Dead Space, the sequel finds protagonist Isaac Clarke once again dealing with the threat of the necromorphs, but this time on the densely populated space station, the Sprawl, located on Saturn's Titan moon. It's not hard to do, as Dead Space 2 has quickly and easily become one of, if not the best survival horror games in recent memory. By the time I was finished, the lights were back on - and not because of its scary moments, but because I had become so enthralled in the game that I had played all the way through until morning. I started playing Dead Space 2 at 9:00 PM with the lights off, and the surround sound turned way up. It's scary, it's fun, it's action packed - it's awesome. Don't be surprised if you end up going through the campaign again to see things you missed.ĭespite a few flaws, Dead Space 2 is clearly the new standard in survival horror. The Multiplayer is great, and leveling up takes some time and dedication. There are a few quirks, but you're bound to have fun. To quote Spinal Tap, everything here is turned up to 11 for the sequel. It's like Dead Space, but with a few really cool quirks and effects thrown in. The sound, the visuals, literally everything works together to create one awesome experience. If there ever were a game that needs to be played in surround sound and in high def, Dead Space 2 would be it.
