Also, the addition of giving Isaac a face has brought the narrative on leaps and bounds. I found it scary), most of the game's tense atmosphere comes from the incredible sound design which is enhanced with any sort of speaker system or headphones. The scares aren't as numerous as the first game but still, they are more subtle and will still cause a few screams here and there (this, being the primary source of complaint, means jack to me. The story is pretty interesting provided you pay attention and are a fan of the series. But it's such a joy to play that I can't complain. The gameplay hasn't really changed: you still have mildly clunky controls to give that sense of urgency and panic in sticky situations and you're still required to hack the limbs off Necromorphs.

So when I got the second, I accomplished a total of 5 playthroughs in a total of 2 months. I've played the first one through many times and still managed to get scared after the 1st try. People who are still humping the living daylights out of the first one should, in theory, love the second Dead Space. Most of them claim to have "loved" the first Dead Space and have again claimed that they completed it many times.

Overall, fantastic gameplay, campaign, weapons etc. The only real flaw is the multiplayer which gets dull very quickly and isn't very fun. New game plus adds re-playability with your weapons and upgrades staying with you even after starting a new campaign. hallucinations, and being stalked by a necromorph who seemingly can't die! The campaign is a good 14 hours depending on your difficulty and yes the game can be quite difficult, even on the easier difficulties. Isaac inner struggle is gripping to watch over the course of the game as he experiences betrayals. Stasis and kinesis also add terrifically to game play strategy. The overall story is fairly interesting but the game play is what really stands out as you have a dozen weapons at your disposal each with it's own grotesque way to slaughter those nasty necromorphs. The overall story is Dead Space 2 follows up from Isaac Clarke's last outing with a thrilling, terrifying, and gory survival-horror game.
