Fortunately, it's not easier than DS1, maybe harder. It deserves the 7 I'm giving for those merits, and for that I'm excluding my comparison with DS1. Combat is still very satisfying, the script is a lot less generic, with Isaac turning into a person with his own will, not a generic vessel of suffering.

So, it's like having your favorite cult movie being re-shot in a generic commercial way by a Hollywood studio - or, more specifically, a Hollywood studio accidentally releasing a masterpiece and "correcting" it later. Some critics talked about the jump from Alien to Aliens, Ridley Scott to David Big Cheese Cameron. Still, I couldn't feel that impressing sensation of imminent danger that made DS1 into the game I loved.
I played it on the level above normal, got killed a lot of times. It was worthy for achieving a overwhelmingly macabre feel that no one on cinema, lest gaming industry, today manage to achieve. It was worthy not because the script, storytelling or game mechanics (despite dismemberment being original). Critics called DS1 "unoriginal", but that's missing the point completely.
But, as Picasso reportedly said, the mediocre artist copies, the great artist steals. Yes, there were recycled levels, and yes, they ripped off lots of stuff from other games. And DS1 delivered, as no movie or game in recent memory could do - maybe with the exception of Silent Hill 2. Now, what made me love DS1 was exactly that, as a seasoned horror fan, it's very hard to find something to gave me real shivers, be it in movies or games. In other words, Dead Space 1 was too good to be successful. As the developers stated in an interview, the first game was deemed "too scary" for mainstream audience, and they considered that the reason behind the mediocre sales of the masterpiece that is Dead Space 1. As the developers stated in an interview, the first game was deemed "too scary" for mainstream audience, and they Dead Space was pussified. The only issue I've had with multiplayer is the loading time, other than that it's loads of fun, and so is the rest of the game. There is also multiplayer, which is surprisingly fun (especially when you play as the necromorphs). The intensity is so great and the scares are so constant that eventually you may find your mind shutting down and going into a zone where pop outs and eeriness cease to be effective. I was able to beat it in one sitting - which is really quick for a two disked game, but also goes to show how captivating it is to get me to sit there for so long. This is a great game, but the overall story mode is surprisingly short. However the sense of confusion I felt in the first game was partly why it was so terrifying, and when the twist was revealed (in the first game) I was just blown away and even felt chilled. The first game was classic and over the top (so is this one) but I feel that the storyline becomes so much clearer in this addition and we're given more to discover than we were in the first game. This game plays highly off of Isaac's dementia, which I thought was great, and it also adds a new sense of maturity and growth from the first game. Fewer varieties of enemies are present in this one, and only a few new ones are introduced, but the scares remain there - especially with the newly added Stalkers. In this Dead Space we're given an even bigger environment, but it doesn't really feel all that big seeing we only visit small portion of the huge space city. In Dead Space I felt more like I was on board the horrific Ishimura, but in this one, though the gameplay remains extreme and extensively fun, I felt it was like I was watching the experience rather than being a part of it. In a way this adds to the story, but it also takes away from the horror. In the first game we're given a character, Isaac, who has no dialogue and is given only grunts and yells - in this game Isaac actually has a voice and personality. Originally we're given a story that seems utterly hopeless from start to finish and though the combat is in close quarters (mostly) the idea you were on a gigantic ship and in the middle of space adds to this sense of hopelessness. Originally we're given a story that seems utterly hopeless from In a strange way this both builds upon and takes away from the original game.
