These things will keep coming at you and have long sword-like arms, some with projectiles, and even bigger beasts await you in the depths of the Ishimura. Shortly after crash landing, we meet the necromorphs – horrific alien beings that you can’t just simply shoot in the head. Well, we now get this right from the start.

This was one of the great things going from the original game to Dead Space 2, was that we could finally hear and feel his emotions. Straight away, one of the big differences to the first game is that main character Isaac Clarke is fully voiced by actor Gunner Wright.

Trapped with hostile creatures called necromorphs, Isaac faces a battle for survival, not only against the escalating terrors of the ship but against his own crumbling sanity. Now alone and armed with only his engineering tools and skills, Isaac races to find Nicole as the nightmarish mystery of what happened aboard the Ishimura unravels around him. The ship’s crew has been slaughtered and Isaac’s beloved partner, Nicole, is lost somewhere on board. Isaac Clarke is an everyman engineer on a mission to repair a vast mining ship, the USG Ishimura, only to discover something has gone horribly wrong. Players who have never played the first game, or any game in the Dead Space series are in for a real treat, and veterans of the series will be able to relive those first moments aboard the USG Ishimura where a nightmare awaits. Still remaining true to the original game’s thrilling vision, the remake offers enhanced audio and crisp, harrowing visuals that have been carefully reimagined to evoke a new level of immersion and quality. The 2008 original game was one of the most atmospheric, creepy and scary games I had played at that time, and this remake has taken every great thing about the first game and made it better than ever. Dead Space is a remake of the 2008 classic sci-fi survival horror game that has been rebuilt from the ground up by EA Motive, leveraging the Frostbite game engine.
