Dead Space
2 is the sci fi, horror sequel to Dead Space. Dead Space 2 takes place on a
space station where Isaac (the main character) is being held in a mental
hospital after the events of Dead Space. You are awoken right around the time
the shit hits the fan, necromorphs are overrunning the space station and once
again Isaac is called to battle with these monsters. I don’t want to spoil the
the story for you but trust me, it is awesome and from start to finish Dead
Space 2 keeps you on the edge of your seat. Some people don’t think they can be
scared by a video game but if any game can scare you this one will. The thing
that scared me the most was the feeling of vulnerability as I walked down the
dark halls, you never know when a necromorph is going to burst through the wall
or ceiling, or when one of the mutilated bodies on the ground comes to life and
attacks you.
The
graphics in Dead Space 2 are not amazing but very good. Whether it
be the excessive gore or some of the epic views the game holds I was never
disappointed when it came to the graphics. The graphics for character models are extremely well built. For example, the necromorphs disfigured bodies are very detailed, and the
bloodied carcasses of the inhabitants of the city are quite realistic.
The combat
in Dead Space 2 is intense and satisfying. One thing I loved was that there was
no HUD, your health display is a row of bars on your back and your ammo is
displayed right above your weapon. When you bring up your inventory it doesnt
pause your game instead it projects it directly in front of you and leaves you
vulnerable to enemy attack, I think this adds a nice bit of realism to the
game. Almost all of the weapons in the game have a primary and secondary use,
for example the line gun can fire a wide powerful shot or it can place a mine
on the ground, things like this make it so you have many different ways to
approach a battle.
Overall I
think this game is definitely worth its price and it is as fun as it is scary.
It has a deep and very interesting story, it has very fun game play, and last
but not least the graphics are awesome. So if your looking for a great scare or
some fun get this game, once you start to play you wont be able to stop until
the game is finished then you’ll have to play it through again.
Overall Score: 8.5
