So has anyone played this yet? i have just finished it and WOW what a rush! This is what Doom 3 and Fear 2 should of been! I have to say its rare that you get a sequel that surpasses the original and this one does, its truly an EPIC game, the modern Silent Hill and the controls for the PC are brillant you don't need a Xbox controller to play it! The Singleplayer game is outstanding,  very good and sad in parts but complicated at the same time and you really need to watch Dead Space aftermath before playing Dead Space 2 to understand fully whats going on.

The only let down for me is multiplayer, its a bit blah.

So overall 9.5/10

First game wasn't much in my estimation, though perhaps dealing with more ****ty console ports makes me want to die inside.

Convince me not to pass on this one, especially considering how much I hated the first, even though I really wanted to like it..

[Rodo]

Really? DAMMIT, I NEED TO SAVE SOME MONEYYYY GRGRGR.

[NGTM-1R]

Saving my monies for the next DoW2 installment, sorry.

Ok, This one has been designed for the PC as well as consoles. Control wise its almost the same as the mass effect series.

Other reasons you should play it are,

- Very engrossing and really good storyline and is screwed up (in a good way) like the silent hill series 
- Isaac talks and it ain't crap!
- Intro makes you jump  !
- Voice acting is really good
- Graphics are really good and crisp
- its fun
- Its not a console port!
- Soundtrack is very good
- Lots of dismemberment!
- PC controls are brillant
- Official Mums hate this game! so it must be good(LOL), youtube the trailer Mums hate Deadspace 2

Why go with the Waaaaaaagh when you can follow the lure of the Dark Gods! and now Slaanesh joins the fray with the Noise Marines! Give into the Dark Gods of Chaos like i have! Iron Within Iron Without! (sorry  )

If they do a multi reset again, probably so.

I take it the horrible mouse lag and acceleration that was in Dead Space 1 is gone now?

Spoiler:

I'll probably still get the game, if only to play with the bangbangbangpewpewpewbangbangpewbangpewpew finger

[Locutus of Borg]

Am I the only one that found the first Dead Space to be boring and predictable?

[Kolgena]

I loved the first half. Then it got a little lame when I realized that Isaac is pretty well off after some upgrading and that necromorphs were all bark no bite. Then it got annoying when the twitchers showed up, because of mouse lag.

[Rodo]

Well the lack of response on the first version made me fall in love with the game, I was so frustrated when attacked by several enemies at the same time, damn hard and got killed a lot...
Also the game made me crap my pants more times that I can remember, it's a great game with a great environment, from the vids I've seen this version keeps on the right track in regards of the dark environment and OMFGWWT? moments.

[Mars]

I played it a bit at an associates house. Nothing to write home about, uses Quake 4 / Doom 3 "I can't get to the other side of the glass" in game cut scenes for the gory bits. Is mostly suspense (boredom) with brief sprints of fighting in which either you or they end up dead.


Recommended as a scary game only when tripping mushrooms.

The first dead space was such a disappointment on PC that I am extremely wary of getting this.

PC version doesn't have the New Game + Elite suits and the Hand Cannon yet. They say they're going to patch it but who knows when...

Err yes it does, when i completed the game, i got the pop up saying Elite suits and new weapons have been unlocked to access them started a new game with the new game + option that has now been unlocked. Also a new hardcore difficulty level has been unlocked as well.

Also mouse lag has been fixed for Deadspace 2,

V-Sync, turn it off.

Problem solved.

Oh, it unlocks fine, just good luck finding the advanced suit schematics (Protip: In the PC version they don't appear, hence it being bugged)

[Ravenholme]

Bah, double-toasted by accident, admins delete this post, please

[phatosealpha]

Mouse Lag has been fixed.  They v-sync issues have not - it's still "Enable in game, 30FPS.  Disable in game, enable in control panel for nVidia.  Install rivatuner if Ati and WinXP.   Unfixable without disabling UAC in Win7 with Ati"

[Davros]

V-Sync, turn it off.

Ive been playing through ds1 and you wait till I reach level 10 to tell me theres a fix for the mouse lag - you swine

ps: the game cheated on me
I entered a room with a load of dead bodies and I thought to myself I bet soon one of those creatures will appear that re-animate dead bodies and i will end up having to fight them, so using telekinesis I removed them all and dumped them onto the train tracks. then when I entered the room later the creature appeared in the room and the game had put all the bodies back

[starbug]

Have to say i haven't had any V-sync problems at all with the game. I am a bit peeved no though, as i have been told PC gamers will not get DLC, they will get the extra suits and weapons on the new game + once the patch is out as they are ment to work but its a bug thats caused it not to. Game Developers keep saying that they need to turn there attention to PC games and yet they keep doing this not allowing DLC for PC only consoles. That Sucks if its true, cos PC gaming is more alive than ever!
