Great game, but I am so mixed on this one. The first one is FAR better, Dead Space 2 is much more action oriented in comparison, with its obsessive enemy spawns and new gun and enemy variety. The atmosphere here is still solid, but the scariness wears off so quickly compared to the first game that this just turns into RE4 in space after just a few chapters. The story surrounding the marker gets nonsensical too.

It's definitely a fun time, with one of the greatest intros of all time and a great fakeout ending too, but without a solid final boss like the first game had, and a ridiculous enemy spawn rate it pales in comparison to its predecessor.
