Dead Space 2

I didn't really know what to expect from this game to be honest. I thought it was going to be another sequel to a game where you play the game to beat it rather than to play it for enjoyment. This however was definitely not one of those games!! It is so much quicker with everything compared to the first one and there are so many little things that they altered from the first one that really make the game what it is. The fact that the story (started from the original Dead Space) continues in this game really well is what surprised me. There are quite a few games (like Bioshock and Bioshock 2) have connections between each other but don't follow on.
Even though i've given it a 5 star rating, it's not quite a 5 star. There are a few issues that i found quite annoying when playing the game like when you go to open a door, if Isaac is facing the door, but the camera is looking behind (if you are checking for any Necromorphs sneaking up behind you), the door won't open so you have to… more »

There are a few issues that i found quite annoying when playing the game like when you go to open a door, if Isaac is facing the door, but the camera is looking behind (if you are checking for any Necromorphs sneaking up behind you), the door won't open so you have to have Isaac and the camera facing the door. Also, aiming seems to be a bit of an issue. Even if you are blatantly aiming at something (mainly something trying to kill or eat you) sometimes the shots won't register and go through them which gets really irritating and also you sometimes have to wait for the thing you're trying to kill to either get back up or regain stability otherwise the hit won't register and you end up wasting ammo.
All in all, amazing game and i thoroughly recommend playing the first before even considering playing this one cause it makes it that much more enjoyable and understandable. Also, Dead Space 2 is a lot harder than the original so you could use the original as a practice/warm-up for this one. BUY IT!!
