I'd love to get excited about this game, But the fact that I have Dead Space 1 sitting staring at me, Waiting for me to finish, Means Dead Space 2 will have to wait in line. (an ever increasing line at that).

The first game is pretty short, you should breeze through it in a two or three nights, quality game too.   :)

amg! i've messed my pants just thinking how awesome this game is gonna be

Clean-up on aisle 2...clean-up on aisle 2.... ;)

I'm actually somewhat on the fence regarding the direction of this game, hoping the MP doesn't detract from what the single-player was in the first game.

I'm officially no longer on the fence here... just played the demo and...holy hell this is going to be another kickin' ride! The clausterphobic atmosphere is back in full force, zero G's been definitely improved, still not sure if I'm good with Isaac speaking or his face being shown more so this time around (I always thought a faceless, speechless Isaac made for a more creepy experience). But either way, looks like Dead Space 2 has retained much of what was good about the first game and improved on various mechanics.

Dead Space 2 review: 9/10 in OXM UK
EA sequel is officially good



The latest Dead Space 2 review is in, and it's another fantastic score in Official Xbox Magazine UK.

The mag's latest issue awards the "brave and remarkable" Visceral Games sequel 9/10, praising its "superb necromorphs and weapons", "commendably snarky script" and higher intensity.

The only downside is a sadly "non-essential" multiplayer mode, it says.

OXM's score is the latest in a growing line of praise for Dead Space 2, alongside PSM3's 92% Dead Space 2 review and the US version of OXM's 9.5 Dead Space 2 review.

Dead Space 2 is released on 360, PS3 and PC on January 25 in the US and three days later in Europe.

wow, seems i missed out big time on the first game. I didn't really give the first game's demo a proper chance and i am now thinking i should go pick the first one up cheap, crak recommended bioshock to me and i love that so far, maybe it will be the same with dead space. If not i can always get the money back - off crak of course.

Glad to hear it has 'non-essential multiplayer' as i wasn't gonna bother with it much.

Survey says: Good call - Dead Space was definitely a worthwhile time.  

It may not be all out 'scare-fest' but its creepy atmosphere definitely makes it worth the price of admission (especially now). If you're into Bioshock, Dead Space will most likely hook you in also -albeit for different reasons. Just gotta turn the sound up... ;)

I would like to get this game as the first one was really good, and the second one has a decent looking multiplayer aswell

I saw Zero post this in the Random Video thread.  Thought it was worth a post here as well.  It's a promo for Dead Space 2.
