Dead Space 2 is a survival horror third person shooter game that puts you as Isaac Clarke, an engineer with dementia trying to fight his dementia and survive another necromorph outbreak. It is the sequel to Dead Space (2008), which was well received by many game reviewing magazines, and websites. Dead Space 2 is Rated M for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, and Strong Language. This game was published by EA which is very well known for its sports games, such as Madden NFL. This game came out on the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. First of all, if you don't like games that scare you then you are probably not going to like this game as much as others, because you will constantly be on your toes expecting something to jump out on you. When I played this game, most of the time I was on alert because I learned that if you put your guard down on this game, you will get easily startled. This game's environment also adds to the scary factor because its so empty and creepy that you can't expect anything less then a huge bladed monster to jump out and kill you. The fact that this game is stunning in the graphics category just adds to how the environment contribute to the survival horror aspect of the game. The voice acting is fantastic in here , but I believe the best sounds were the ones that you heard throughout the game, because that just totally added to the creepiness of it. One of the scariest moments I had in the game was when I was locked in a room that had flashing lights and when I heard the music that tells you if enemies are around, I was terrified. The gameplay is similar to the first but there are a few improvements like better melee attacks. I think this game has a ton of replay value because of all the things you can upgrade or find, which keeps me coming back to play it again. This game's story mode is about 10 to 12 hours long depending on your skill level and how much exploring you do, which I have to admit is not a lot but still decent. After single player, there is a multi player mode that isn't the best out there, but it is still partially enjoyable. In conclusion, I think this game is fantastic and that if you are a huge survival horror fan, then this is a must own. If you aren't much of a survival horor fan, then you should probably still rent it. I give this game a 9.5/10.
