Many gamers believe that the game cannot be outdated. If at one time it became a cult and popular, then they are unlikely to be forgotten about it. And new generations of players will again get to know her, while the oldfags will gladly return to her in a couple of years. But do all game projects get the opportunity to become eternal?
The game
There are a lot of reviews of Dead Space 2. At one time, the game made a lasting impression on fans of third-person shooter games. And the survival horror genre turned out to be winning. The second part was an original continuation of the previously released.
Still developing the studio was Visceral Games. In 2011, she prepared with the publisher Electronic Arts release a new part. At first, Russian localization was implemented with subtitles, but later one of the creative studios took up voice acting. In 2017, the Russian version of Dead Space 2 appeared.
A review of the game immediately took up several major gaming Russian-language resources. The first reviews appeared immediately, which in many respects made up the general impression of the new project. Owners of PCs, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 rushed to get acquainted with the characters, learn weapons and dive into a new story.
Plot
Immediately it is worth saying that usually the game Dead Space 2 review of the storyline is divided into two parts. The main one tells about the adventures of the protagonist. You can buy an additional story to it, which will tell us about the heroes of the first part.
According to the classics of the genre, the developers transferred the gamer to 2511. 3 years have passed since the events from the first part. That is how much time Isaac Clark spent in the so-called coma. The engineer is at the space station-metropolis. After his awakening, he again sees a large number of necromorphs.
Over time, it turns out that Isaac was in an artificial dream in which he was held by the Committee. They are after him and hunt. Clark needs to find a certain Dyne, who will give drugs for mental disorder.
Again, the laws of the survival horror genre make themselves felt in Dead Space 2. The review of the storyline more than once leads the gamer to traitors and critical situations. So, Dyna leads Isaac into a trap. The developers decide to help the main character and destroy his enemies. But Clark is confronted with the executioner necromorph, whom he has to overcome.
The storyline makes Isaac return to Strauss' proposal. Heroes decide to tackle the destruction of the Obelisk. The player will have to face many unexpected situations in Dead Space 2. A review of the storyline nevertheless indicates that everything always ends well in games, even if it is a survival horror genre.
Addition
Players could purchase the Dead Space 2 Severed expansion pack. A review of the storyline helped many to decide on a purchase. Some gamers decided that the DLC will tell you what happened to Isaac next. But in an additional part, the life of Gabe Weller and Lexin Murdoch is narrated. These characters are familiar to us in the first part of the game. Therefore, if you did not pass it, then most likely you will not be interested in passing the DLC.
The second story takes place in parallel with the main events with Clark. It begins at the same moment when the necromorphs inhabit the metropolitan station. Gabe and Lexi are husband and wife who also fight for survival.
The couple is forced to go through a lot. Some plot twists will turn out to be really unexpected. In general, Dead Space 2 Severed is the perfect example of survival horror, which is intertwined with the love line. The history of the DLC, unfortunately, lacks a happy ending and leaves a lot of questions.
System requirements

Review of Dead Space 2: walkthrough
In general, the first chapter is devoted to acquaintance with management and the general situation inside the game. The developer teaches a gamer how to use improvised tools to fight against necromorphs. Thanks to in-game hints, you can easily collect weapons and find ammo. After the gun falls into the player’s hands, it becomes easier to fight the infected. Just a couple of bullets in the forehead. Therefore, do not try to shoot necromorphs legs or arms. Bullets need to be saved.
After you find a treasure trove of weapons, ammunition and various useful artifacts, try to save yourself so that you don’t look for them again later. In the pockets of enemies you can find useful tools after a fight.
In the first chapter, one of the difficult tasks is to locate in a room in which something explodes. Due to the explosion, a hole appears in the wall, which begins to suck everything. To seal the room, you need to shoot just above the red triangle.
At the end of the chapter, it is necessary to freeze the brutus stasis and shoot his hands in the yellow organic flesh. After a few shots, his hands will fall off.
New acquaintances
A review of the passage of Dead Space 2 leads the player to the second chapter. There are practically no complicated puzzles. In the store you need to improve the suit, weapons. Since the game is constantly dark, you need to be careful and just in case from time to time to shoot. In parallel, we will have to negotiate with Dyna, which should lead us to the goal.
In the new chapter, we get to know the demoman. To defeat a new character, you need to aim at the yellow cocoon on his hand. Moreover, you need to shoot quickly, since it can touch Isaac’s explosion.
Once in the subway, you should stop the infection, which revives the corpses. They need to be dealt with first, before all the Necromorphs rebel against you. After the train starts, the player will have to transfer to another car, and for this you need to run, fly, jump, and even maneuver from the trash. Here you will have to spend a lot of time to complete this mission.
At the end of the chapter, Clark will be upside down, and from this position the player will need to fight. An armored car will attack the hero; he must be killed first.
Hard to learn, easy to fight
In the third chapter, we get acquainted with a detachment of schoolchildren-necromorphs. These creatures are dangerous because they always attack the crowd. You need to have a huge number of rounds to deal with them. As it later turns out from the diary of a corpse, it is not necessary to shoot a pistol all the time, thanks to kinesis, you can throw blades at enemies, and then pick them up.
In the control room, we maintain and improve our equipment. Clark falls into zero gravity. He needs to jump off the ground and fly over the hole. There, activate the fan, which supplies a new batch of garbage. It will have to delve into, since there may be cartridges. Near the fan, you can turn right and go into the compartment. Again we fall into absolute darkness. You need to find the battery and start the elevator.
Search for a way
In the fourth chapter you need to visit a souvenir shop, take everything you need. After us, another battle awaits. Once in the hall after it, it is important not to touch the glass with your hands. In the next room we find the battery and open the door using kinesis. Through it, you can only go through stasis. In ventilation, we fight the enemy by quickly pressing the "E" button.
Once in a new room, you will need to fight again, while Dyna is looking for a new path for Isaac. It is necessary to wait for the moment when the enemies will be in front, and to throw blades in them. We follow a new path.
Campaign in the morgue
Moving through the freezers, Isaac only thanks to a vision understands that he is in the morgue. To turn off the gravitational field, you need to go down on a freight elevator and hack into control. Magnetic holders will appear. You need to hold the topmost ring on both sides. We use stasis and kinesis for balance.
If everything went well, gravity will shut off and Clark will rise up. The main thing is to slow down the fan blades in time. Next, the hero will again have to fight with enemies. And at the end of the road we will meet Daina.
The chapter ends very unexpectedly.
New plan
Despite the fact that Dyna no longer shows us the way, we still have a goal. In the sixth chapter, we will meet a fat man who should not get into the stomach. It is better to freeze abscesses with stasis or shoot at a distance.
The next room will need to shut off oxygen to extinguish the flame. Later we will meet again with runners who are easy to overcome. In the end, meet Ellie.
To defeat necromorph children, you need to shoot at them from a distance, because they like to explode. Alternatively, you can wait until they gather in a group and shoot one.
Hard puzzles
In the seventh chapter, you need to fix the docking capsule. Do not forget that you can use the "B" key. To go through the door, which allows only face recognition, you need to find the corpse in the next room and bring his face to the scanner.
In the hall do not stand near the window. Our task is to break into the elevator panel and sit in it. Obstacles in our path are removed by kinesis. Next, turn on the oxygen supply and go open the door, followed by 5 generators. To do this, go down to the left and right rooms. There we look for the batteries and insert them into the desired compartments. If everything is correct, green bulbs will appear on the panel. Next, disable pass protection.
After the desired door opens, it is necessary to break all 5 generators and go into outer space. There you will need to deal with the puzzle of solar panels. One of them will be rotated correctly, it remains to redirect three more.
On the way to the goal
In chapter eight, we need to get to Ellie and Strauss. We use accelerator cylinders for the explosion of doors. During the passage, you must visit the store, in which a new suit or weapon may appear. In the new chapter, insert the discs and raise the shield.
After that it will be necessary to activate the trolley. But later it will be necessary to cope with a large tentacle. To do this, throw cylinders into the tank and detonate.
Once in Ishimura, again have to fight with a large number of enemies. Here the hero will drag the tentacle into outer space. It will be necessary to destroy the monster. On the way back we find a bunker with accelerator cylinders.
After some events, we meet Ally again. The girl asks to fix the drilling machine. To do this, Isaac needs to overcome the traps and get the battery. After the start of drilling operations, all the monsters that are only in the game will climb onto the machine, it will be necessary to shoot everyone at the same time.
The final
In the government sector, the final events of the game are taking place. Here we send Ellie on a ship to a safe place. In the hall where the drilling machine is parked, you need to go to the door. Enemies will be waiting for her, so you should quickly run to the toilet. To deal with the crowd of soldiers, it is necessary to move through the ventilation to a room where you can turn off the light. Necromorphs will do their own thing.
In the room with the runners, you need to change the batteries, and then use the kinesis in the room with the lasers. Arms stop rotating mechanisms.
In the penultimate chapter, Isaac is waiting for the battle with the hunter. This monster is immortal, because it can restore lost limbs. It is necessary to take him away from the board and tear off the limbs with stasis.
The monster is regenerated, and Clark breaks into the panel, picks up the corpse and goes through the door with face recognition. All this time the hunter will follow us. You need to go to the transport network to turn off gravity and take off.
In the last chapter, the hero will have to periodically chop off the limbs of the hunter to make it slower. Near the Obelisk we find Teydmann (the main antagonist) and kill. The following events will seem very strange to the player, but you need to survive them. In the last chapter, you have to shoot Nicole, and then in the heart of the Obelisk.
Weapon
A review of weapons Dead Space 2 will be useful to those who have seriously decided to engage in pumping the hero and step-by-step walkthrough of the game. Information about the guns will help you quickly understand the game with situations where you can use multiple guns at once. In addition to the power and laser pistols, the game has a flamethrower, a pipe cutter, a detonator, a hand gun and a pulse rifle. If the files of the second part of the game detect the first save, then the plasma cutter will be available to the player.
Review
The game turned out to be really very popular, so it collected a lot of reviews. Review of Dead Space 2 did the authors of "Kanobu", "Gambling" and StopGame. The result is an average score of 8.5. And despite such an almost unanimous decision, all the same resources focused on different aspects of the game.
“Kanobu” wrote an excellent review of Dead Space 2. The review of the game helped those who had not played it to know that the new series was better than the previous one. The hero noticeably “grew up”, he had more replicas. Developers have added network mode. The authors of the review recommend the project to those who love science fiction, but are not familiar with the first part.
“Gambling” also noted that the second part was “completed” very successfully. They removed everything superfluous from it and erased the shortcomings that existed in the previous game. But here the attempts of developers and publishers to make the whole game universe out of the plot were unsuccessful. Apparently, the main story and thoughtfulness of the characters is not yet enough for something special and memorable.
Mobile equivalent
A review of Dead Space 2 on Android is unlikely to reveal anything new about the game. Some players noted that the mobile version is practically not inferior in spirit and atmosphere to a computer project. Although it is objectively clear that the control is not so convenient, and the screen is much smaller, and the sounds are not worked out as high-quality as we would like. Nevertheless, a mobile game exists and someone even likes it.
Additionally
Of course, the Dead Space 2 review on the Xbox 360 or PS3 is no different from the PC version. The plot and the main idea have not changed. We are still with Isaac, who needs our help in destroying the Obelisk.
Review of Dead Space 2 Limited Edition is also not new. Now this kit is almost impossible to buy, since back in 2011 it was considered a limited version, and now it can only be found on gamers' forums. The essence of the Limited Edition is that along with the disc of the second part there were also files for installing the first game. This disc could only be used on the PS3.
