Dead Space 2 is an action packed horror thrill ride from start to finish. The environments are greatly improved and the pacing is far smoother than the original game due to the lack of loading screens. The protagonist now has a voice and the story elements have been greatly improved due to that simple fact. The controls feel just as good as the previous game as well as the weapons, but unfortunately most of the weapons are simple rehashes from Isaac's last outing. Replacing the zero gravity segments from the original with a new jet pack controlled rendition of it make the zero gravity segments much more enjoyable. The one thing that prevents Dead Space 2 from achieving classic status is the terribly frustrating and poorly designed last hour of the game that'll make any gamer curse at the screen. Overall, Dead Space 2 is highly recommended -- just keep a stress ball handy during the end-game.
The Good:
+ Fantastic atmosphere and environment design.
+ Gameplay is just as fun as it ever was.
+ New enemy types add even more paranoia and fear.
The Bad:
- Poorly designed and frustrating final hour.
- Weapons are basically the same.
