Storytelling aside (those are two words that this narrative-heavy game can't afford), Dead Space 2 is a serviceable two-trick pony. The main trick is the contrived dismemberment mode. Headshots are so passe. So the Dead Space approach is to encourage severing crab-like limbs, conveniently extended as if the monster was going to make a snow angel. They're loud, they writhe, they splorch out a lot of blood, and when you fail, they treat [sic] you to an elaborate animation of the lead character gruesomely dispatched.

There’s no sneaking terror. There’s no sneaking. There’s no calm before the storm. There’s just storm.

All in all, Dead Space 2 manages to improve on the original whilst retaining a great sense of atmospheric suspense.
