It’s not all old faces in Dead Space 2’s yarn, though. This does a good job of setting up the plot, because as you may have seen from all the various videos for this game, Nicole may be dead but she’s still haunting Isaac. At the beginning of this sequel we’re treated to a nice piece of dialogue between Nicole and Isaac, taking place way back when Isaac’s now deceased lover first got the job on the Ishimura. But, let’s take a look at exactly why this is the case.įor starters, Dead Space 2 does a good job of following up on the ending of the original game. It all comes together into one beast of a game.

With this sequel Visceral Games has kept their promise on delivering a game that fans can approve of, while introducing action-packed set pieces into the mix. Let’s start off by answering the big question, does Dead Space 2 lose the appeal that made the first game a survival horror classic? No, it doesn’t, not one bit.

Isaac is now experienced, though, he’s been in this type of situation before, he’s fought these enemies, but what he isn’t ready for is that which is enclosed in his own mind. The same alien artifact that was the catalyst for the initial Necromorph infestation. The same Nicole who is now haunting Isaac, and messing with his already shattered mind, thanks to the Marker. It’s been three years since the USG Ishimura incident, taking place in a huge mining vessel that served as a deathbed to Isaac’s girlfriend, Nicole.

Awoken in a hospital with no idea of why he’s there, Isaac finds himself in another horrifying scenario.
