Dead Space 2 successfully pulls off a bombastic spectacle than its predecessor's more slow level chapter design.
The camera perspective plays a huge role in accomplishing a genius one-take effect as you move from chapter to chapter. Without even realising, I beat this game in the span of two sessions mostly because I just forgot about how long I was playing for, fully immersed into this nightmarish love-craftian world.
I'd put both Dead Space 1 & 2 on very similar levels of quality with a preference on the first because I absolutely love the pacing, story, atmosphere, creativity, the list goes on. The two games have their own strengths, Dead Space 2 has better survival gameplay & combat, its horror is more disturbing than scary, the story is cheesy; losing a lot of the mystery from the first game but still works as a great follow-up.
Love this game, it rocks.
