After unearthing a strange artifact known as the Marker, Isaac finds himself on the Sprawl, a giant space station in orbit around Saturn.

Dead Space 2
Isaac Clarke awakens on a facility on Saturn’s moon Titan three years after the events of the USG Ishimura, the necromorphs are back to dismember everyone in sight. Isaac is still having hallucinations of his girlfriend whom is dead.

Story
The plot is similar to first Dead Space, the storytelling has changed with the three-year development gap. You are now on a space station called the Sprawl that has been built in the remains of Saturn’s moon titan, unlike the first game you witness the outbreak live starting the game in a stray jacket trying to escape while witnessing the death of others by the necromorphs. If someone has never played the first game not to worry the intro does a lot to recap the player and there is also a short film to fill in players what has previously happened.

Gameplay
The visuals from the first game has been improved creating a better lighting effect and smoother textures. Not being set on an abandoned space ship this time around the game has a bit of a different art style giving the game a sleeker look to it instead of that rough edged style but not moving far from the original art style and keeping the HUD from the first game exactly the same in the second which I really like to see.
You kill the necromorphs the same way you did in first Dead Space game, by shooting off its limbs off. Keeping each enemy encounter tense while the necromorphs run towards you or try and surround you while you have to keep that steady aim to dismember them and stay alive.

Dead Space 1.5?
All the necromorphs are back from the first game just with updated graphics and there are a few new enemy types to fight through, some of the weapons has had their alternate firing modes altered in Dead Space 2 from one making them more useful. Also there are four new weapons added into Dead Space 2 which are Seeker Rifle, Detonator, Beam Contact and a Javeling Gun.
The process to find gear has also gone through changes but you still have to find schematics and power nodes, however this time around searching for these power node rooms is more rewarding giving some new suits and weapons, giving the player a better reason to search for these rooms unlike the first game giving only ammo and upgrade materials.
The upgrade system works the same as it did in the first game, requiring and upgrade bench before you can use materials to upgrade. Finding these benches is much easier to find this time around having your objective marker cycle between waypoints and not only show the way to the mission.

Final verdict
Overall keeping the game similar to the first game and not moving too far to change everything, keeping the game feel like a proper sequel to Dead Space and continuing the story and adding to the game play seamlessly.

Un juegazo sin duda uno de los mejores survival horror que he jugado, ya lo había jugado antes pero me invadio la nostalgia lo obtuve para PC y la historia me sigue atrapando, la inmersión es imensa además sigue teniendo buen aspecto.

I got the game, and it is really the game. Fast processing, the code worked, I really wanted to play it, but just couldn't buy it on the original price since it is so expensive, so really good seller, would buy again from him!

Magnifique , nous sommes en 2015 et les graphismes n'ont pas vieilli !! Tout ce que j'espérais y est : monstres affreux , ambiance pesante , bruitage de ouf ( mieux avec casque ) , et l' APESANTEUR !!! Je suis comblé !! Je conseille ce jeu à tous les amoureux de survival horror !!
  • Graphisme , Bruitage
  • Les visages humains auraient pu être mieux modélisé !

Isaac Clarke is back with more necromorphs chasing him or Isaac chasing them...!?
Forget about the coffee... if you want to stay awake all night, fearing that a necromorph might be in your closet, you should definitely play this.
My point is that this game rocks.
