A Great Game
JimRory | April 26, 2013 | See all JimRory's reviews »A lot of people complain that DS2 isn't as scary as DS1. The problem with that complaint was that DS1 wasn't scary at all and the horror and scare moments felt forced and ineffective. The game was also extremely repetitive. However, DS2 fixes in my eyes all of these problems. Absolutely perfect pacing. The game stopped focusing on horror and instead focused on being a thriller and insane. A well polished and absolutely enjoyable game, and I hated DS1.

An excellent game
Xiphora | Feb. 28, 2013 | See all Xiphora's reviews »Dead Space 2 does the horror genre so much good. It has genuine scares and is one of the most immersive experiences that you'll find in the past couple of years. The creepy soundtrack and better graphics help add to one of the best examples of the horror genre in recent times.

Amazing!
Lekes | Feb. 7, 2013 | See all Lekes's reviews »Absolutely insane! the first Dead Space was so new and had touched on a new era of sci-fi horror gaming which i personally thought was unbeatable....until Dead Space 2 arrived! Its safe to say that Dead Space is one of the few games that actually makes you jump and makes you weary about what kind of hideous monstrosity will be around the next bend. The plot is full in its entirety and really puts you into the mind frame of the returning lead character Isaac Clarke who along with new tech and weaponry will cut, slice and tear limb from limb the necromorph hordes. Couldn't stop playing at the end and delighted there will be more to come in the future. One of the best series' and games of this generation.

If you don't have this game, why?
PM_DMNKLR | Feb. 5, 2013 | See all PM_DMNKLR's reviews »I honestly expected Dead Space 2 to be just more of the same as in DS1, but while that may be somewhat true, it's not 100%. Like many modern sequels, it takes what the original was and builds on it. There's more terror, more adrenaline, more necromorph "WHAT DID I JUST SEE?!?!?!" situations and a whole lotta slayin' goin' on! This is Dead Space, do your best to stay alive!
