(My fourth playthrough. Played on Steam Deck in English. 7 hours to see the credits roll on Normal.) 2023’s Dead Space remake is faithful to a fault. So much so that Dead Space 2 still plays like an i… Read more
People say Dead Space 2 is 'more of a shooter' than the original. I dunno about that; I just finished playing both relatively close to one another and they seem like the exact same thing to me. There… Read more
With Dead Space 3 on my mind having just finished it, I thought I would lay out my thoughts on its immediate predecessor: Dead Space 2. Dead Space was a new IP from EA and what would become Visceral G… Read more
Believe the hype! Dead Space 2 is everything you could want and expect from a sequel. And then there's more! To date, this is the single scariest/goriest game I have ever played on a console. (Silent… Read more
Another short retrospective review about a game I completed through March 2011 in an effort to remember the games I've enjoyed during the year for the end of year game of the year awards. Visceral Gam… Read more
I thoroughly enjoyed the first Dead Space. Guiding the unassuming hero, Issac Clarke, through his travails aboard the derelict, planet-cracking spaceship, the U.S.G. Ishimura , was both an intriguing… Read more
The first Dead Space was an excellent game. It modernized and revitalized a slowly decaying genre and felt completely fresh despite it's obvious homages to other similar works. It was also a much more… Read more
The first Dead Space was one of the more pleasant surprises of 2008. The underpopulated, oft neglected survival horror genre only gets one or two good entries at the most, and Dead Space was one that… Read more
The Short Pros - Fast paced, visceral bloody violence like the first game - Controls are tightened and improved from the last game - More weapons and upgrades - Set on a massive space station, its env… Read more
Dead Space 2 is a fine example of a video game sequel that improves on what the original game offered without actually doing anything too revolutionary. It is again a polished, enjoyable, refined expe… Read more
There was a point in Dead Space 2 where alarms were going off and lights were flashing an ominous orange. I dimly recalled a similar sequence from the original Dead Space, which meant I also recalled… Read more
The original Dead Space, though effectively Resident Evil 4 draped in System Shock 2's clothing, was an intense and enjoyable, if banal, horror shooter. It was fun for what it was, and had a lot of ro… Read more
Dead Space 2 is a game that progresses with relentless pacing, and one that demands your attention. It is an extremely dirty and visceral (pun completely intended) experience. "The Sprawl" (an allusio… Read more
A franchise lives and dies by it's core concept, and thankfully Dead Space 2 has stuck closely enough to honour it's predecessor but has made enough advances to make this a welcome new experience. Fir… Read more
The first game of 2011 which I have played, I was hoping for a good start to the gaming year, and I was not disappointed. I was worried when EA were talking up the introduction of multiplayer and of m… Read more
It’s been a while since the game first hit the shelves but due to the plethora of games that graced our fine retail establishments this year I have taken perhaps a bit too long to getting round to Vis… Read more
Sleeper hits like the original Dead Space are proof that the horror genre, inadvisably, is undead. Complete with satisfying shooting, space curb-stomps and legitimate scary moments, Dead Space 2 is mo… Read more

Visceral Games have outdone themselves. Dead Space 2 is one of those sequels which is better than the original. Sure it uses the same the gameplay as the original but if it ain't broke, why fix it? Th… Read more
Dead Space was a serious surprise hit back in 2008. Despite being more or less Resident Evil 4 in space, it really felt fresh due to its execution. There were some flaws, namely with pacing and some f… Read more
Dead Space 2 is a good game. It is the sequel to a game called Dead Space. These games are scary. You have to shoot monsters and try to not be killed by the monsters. Sometimes you are in space. Somet… Read more

Dead Space 2 is not a horror game. Sure, the enemies are gooey and gross, the lighting is dim, and the ammo is scarce. But Silent Hill 2 (or even the first Dead Space ) this is not. In EA and Visceral… Read more
If there is one game that illustrates the influence Resident Evil 4 and Doom 3 had on sci-fi canon, it is Dead Space . The game’s play style was shamelessly ripped from the former, while the aesthetic… Read more
Editors Note: This review is singularly focused on the single-player element of Dead Space 2 and does not account for any of the multiplayer within the game. Few times in my gaming career have I ever… Read more

Being a big fan of the first Dead Space, I was very eager to play Dead Space 2 when it was announced. Finally getting my hands on it and playing it, I wasn't dissapointed in the least. The game picks… Read more

Dead Space 2 is broader, bolder and maybe even a little sexier (?!) at that, than its predecessor. It's now completely stripping most of its survival horror instincts for a much more action orientated… Read more
The original Dead Space was soaked in frightening visuals, superb sound, and phenomenal gunplay. Dead Space 2 is pressure washed in those qualities. Issac Clarke's continued adventures take him to som… Read more
