Dead Space 2 takes everything from the original Dead Space and basically puts it on steroids. The game is bigger in every way; there’s a bigger setting, deeper plot, more weapons, and bigger, badder necromorphs. The game begins with a shot of adrenaline and rarely lets up over the 10 hour duration. Through this exaggeration of its foundation Dead Space 2 does lose a little bit of its atmospheric survival-horror and becomes more action-horror. In doing so it enhances the experience, providing more suspense and really letting you feel the direness of Isaac’s situation.
