You can always count on the Dead Space franchise to provide you a horrifying atmosphere with blood-curdling screams at every corner you turn. Dead Space 2, however, is an unfortunate example of how a sequel can do it's story a disservice.

While Dead Space 2 packs in new mechanics, more upgrades, and enough save points to keep your heart rate down. It's also got plenty of dry dialogue, emotional moments that don't resonate, and a plot that is stretched across fifteen chapters rather than the five it probably fills.

If you wanted a Dead Space game and not a Doom clone, this isn't the one.
