It adds to the level of sheer panic when in a small room surrounded by Lurkers, Pukers, and Slashers and knowing that you can’t blame death on cheap controls.Īs a Dead Space fanboy myself, I am continually astounded at the creation of the world you are thrust upon. This level of control really makes you feel like Isaac and the master of your own fate. While some might argue that one of the scariest things about horror games is how little control you actually have - ala the original Resident Evil titles - it adds to the entire Dead Space experience. All in a day’s work, right?ĭead Space 2 once again gives players an unprecedented level of control in a horror game, and it immerses the player into the dark and dank world presented before them. While struggling through the station, Isaac also has to deal with a strand of dementia that is eating away at his very sanity. Awaking in a solitary confinement cell, Isaac finds himself in the middle of a Necromorph outbreak and must fight his way through one of humanity’s largest space stations, The Sprawl. Isaac starts the game in a therapy session after his traumatic experiences and learns that three entire years have passed since the incidents of the first Dead Space, though he can’t remember the time passing at all. You play as Isaac Clarke, the sole survivor of the tragic and freakish events on Aegis VII and the USG Ishimura. The game itself is still great, but if you haven’t had a chance to play it, Dead Space 2 provides players with a short video explaining the events of the previous game to bring them up to speed on the current happenings.
From the intuitive user interface, to the waves of Necromorphs attacking every living being in sight, the game excelled at scaring the pants off players while still giving them more control than ever before in a horror game. While the story itself was not too original, Dead Space truly shined in creating an atmosphere that completely engaged the player.
Dead Space 2 is the follow-up to EA Redwood Shores’, now Visceral Games’, sci-fi horror masterpiece from 2008.
