Dead Space 2

[OxBlood]

I got the PS3-Limited yesterday and thank god, it´s multilingual. Though the german dub of Dead Space 1 is among the best in the industry, I still prefer the original.

I love this game. It´s got a slightly different atmosphere but the premise itself is terrifying as hell because this time you´re in a heavily populated area. The residential corridors are especially creepy when you hear the brutal screaming of a Necromorph from behind the apartment doors, trying to get out so it can rip you apart.

The little improvements all make sense and I like them a lot:

-the map is gone
-improved locator
-reloading without having to aim
-stasis energy recharges over time (!!!)
-you keep the best suit-stats when switching between suits
-some weapons got an overhaul
-TK improved but no more upgrades for it
-you can respec your weapons and get your Nodes back later on
-TK-attacks are really useful this time


All in all there are a lot of subtle but great improvements. Just the fact that TK and Stasis are now viable additions to your aresenal is really great by itself already.

There´s some new enemies too as you all know but the one Sappington mentioned is indeed really creepy.
