You play as Issac Clarke, an engineer who wakes up on a colony on Titan to discover that a disgusting biological accident called the Necromorphs have taken over. Having never played the first game I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep up with the story, but thankfully there is a 'previously on Dead Space' option on the main menu. Dead Space 2 ain't no tourist brochure for Outer Space. Never! I know it's unlikely that we will see commercial space travel in my lifetime (or at all if Einstein's theory of relativity is airtight), but in order to retreat from the horror of this game I just might run away to an island and live a life of coconuts and loincloths. In-game stores may be accessed where the player may buy and sell various items and attain new weapons and suits through the acquisition of schematics found throughout the levels.I am never going into space. The player may upgrade their weapons and armor at work benches, using power nodes found throughout the game. The player acquires two modules a "stasis" module, allowing the player to slow down enemies or objects, allowing for otherwise insurmountable moving obstacles such as active heavy machinery to be slowed down, allowing Isaac to safely pass, and the "kinesis" module, which allows Isaac to manipulate objects and machinery telekinetically. Isaac must fight an alien organism that infects and takes control of human corpses, turning them into "Necromorphs", mutating their bodies. Player health and stasis are shown by visual indicators on Isaac's back. The game features no HUD, relying on holograms projected from the player character and his weapons to show information such as messages and ammunition count, respectively. The player controls Isaac Clarke from a third-person point of view, looking over the character's right shoulder. Dead Space 2 is a survival horror third-person shooter.
