Whilst not as frightening as the first Dead Space, Dead Space Squared sees the return of the gameplay almost everyone loved about the first game, the health and ammo conservation especially. Also a lot more shiny than the first, definitely recommend if you have the first part. If not, play the demo or get the first Dead Space. Because in space, no-one can hear you eat ice-cream.

Dead space 2 is an awesome game with great moments that really make you go, WOW that was cool or make you jump out of your skin.

Personally I had it on the second hardest difficulty from the get go and I reckon that made the game so much better. I mean your taking on monsters you don't really expect your character to easily kill them!

The setting is amazing with great attention to detail having been taken, but the thing that really sets this apart from other graphically intensive games such as halo reach is the great detail that's been put into the lighting.

All in all I highly recommend this game, great fun from start to finish.

Once I played the first DS there was no going back. The sequel, while maybe not as scary, certainly does the franchise justice! It's big exciting and will have you sitting on the edge of your seat asyou traverse the aptly named sprawl space station. Play at night with headphones-10/10
