Dead space 2 PC Review

Dead space 2 has made a significant number of changes from its sequel. The game starts off where it previously left off. 
Read through to find out more.

Story
Dead space 2 mainly focuses on the story part of the game. The story was really strong filled with emotions, frustrations and what not. Accordingly Issac is made to walk through the game. The game begins in an asylum on the Sprawl, a densely-populated space station surrounding a shard of Titan, one of Saturn's moons. Issac recalls having no memory of past three years after he was haunted by Nicole. In this game, a woman named Daina guides him as to why things are happening the way they are. But only to find that she is unitologist and she wants marker made number of times. Felt betrayed, he finally listens to a man named Stross, who thinks he can destroy the marker. Issac meets with another woman, Ellie, who at first though is hostile eventually joins Issac in the quest of destroying the marker. Stross turns mad and freaks out Ellie, in fact he pops her eye out, making Issac to kill him. For the rest it is Nicole who keeps taunting and annoying Issac, also convincing him that she would love to destroy the marker together with him. Although, the story takes a unexpected turn at the end with Tidermann controlled by Nicole tries to kill Issac. Felt betrayed by Nicole again, he battles against her destroying the marker. By this time the whole place falls apart. Issac who initially sends Ellie only to save her from all this apocalypse, returns back to rescue him. 


Issac is back!!
Gameplay
The gameplay has improved significantly than its prequel if you can find the negative points mentioned in my previous post Dead space. Issac moves freely unlike in Dead space. 
Newer and better weapons are introduced. Weapons have the same upgrade system. Although the points to upgrade to its maximum require many power nodes. Newly introduced weapons include detonator mines, new force gun etc. Unlike in prequel, Dead space 2 has different type of suits for various purposes which can be bought and equipped at any time unless there is a store nearby. For eg., Advanced suit, security suit etc. 


Better weapons!!
Issac can now track not only objective but also can find the path for bench, save station, store using his beam which is really useful. 
Enemies are really deadly and very fast. Dead space 2 can boast advanced forms of enemies from its prequel. The one which looks like ostrich particularly scares the hell out of me. Also watch out the pods like enemies which throw eggs. 


Zero gravity feature improved !! Have a look at those graphics :O

Zero gravity is improved greatly from its prequel. Instead of just aiming and pressing 'alt', Issac's suit shoots four rockets which helps in levitating him. So basically we can stop anywhere and have our own time in analysing the surroundings. The game has more puzzles to solve. Each time you end in a open environment you are likely to solve a puzzle to get past. In this game we have something like boxes where we should turn the mouse to set the disc in the correct location, although incorrect position can cost you your life. Every mission is enjoyable and memorable. I particularly liked the last few missions which are both challenging and story oriented. In a nutshell the game has improved a lot from its predecessor. 


More money needed now :P

Graphics and sound
If it isn't gorgeous enough in its prequel, Dead space 2 elevates the level of beauty. It devastatingly gorgeous and enemies are equally grotesque. Sound again plays an important role in the game. 


Addition of cutscenes in the game!! 

Whatever little glitches and minor errors may have been present, Dead space 2 is a must play. Dead space 2 concentrated mainly on story without compromising fear factor. 9 hours of pure horror and enjoyment. 
The final betrayal!! 

My rating is 9/10....

+ Better gameplay
+ Gorgeous graphics
+ Story oriented without compromising fear factor
+ Characters leave an impact on story
