Dead Space 2's thrilling campaign and intense multiplayer make it an excellent game and a worthy follow-up to its superb predecessor.
The Good:
Campaign starts strong and ends strong.
Dismembering necromorphs is as thrilling as ever.
Some great new necromorph types.
Wonderfully atmospheric visuals and sound design.
Exhilarating multiplayer.
The Bad:
No significant gameplay advances over the first game.
Single-player falls into predictable rhythm for a while.
Some dull objectives.
