It's actually not too bad, nothing amazingly special, like a watered down left 4 dead which still ends up being pretty fun, as always you don't have to play the multi if you don't want to.

Lengthy. With the same carrot on a stick mission structure of part one that wouldn't be a good thing.

Wow, nice. I think I'll soldier through the rest of DS then to be prepared for this game.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Awesome saucesome. The point about it being a lengthy game is just all the better.

I really enjoyed the first but the mission structure was wearing thin and the action was becoming too much of a focal point. I'm a little hesitant because all the trailers show is killing shit. Hyped all the same though.

Hot. I'm so glad to hear it described as 'lengthy.' Let's hope the bosses don't have any big glowing weak points this time.

haven't played the demo yet, but day 1. Loved the first game. Played it three times I think.

dude, you couldn't be more wrong about the multiplayer. It was great in the beta and I can't wait to get my hands on the full game with more maps and weapons.

Still have to finish the 1st :lol
Clay Davis said:
Lol, don't respond to Lard. He's a giant troll that hasn't played Uncharted 2 just because it has MP in it.
Anyway, am I the only person interested in this game because of the Multiplayer? I mean, the beta was great because the more skilled team always won. Always. Both sides were pretty damn balanced.
Of course, I liked what I played of the DS intro, I just need to finish the game.

I had a lot of fun with the first game at $15 and will happily purchase the sequel at a similar price point.

:lol That became a constant source of laughs for me and my wifeFullMetal said:
"We might be able to escape if I activate the..........shit it's offline! Issac I need you to go halfway across the ship and activate it MANUALLY."
Since I haven't been following the details of this too much I have two questions. When they say multiplayer do they mean Co-op? Also I seem to remember hearing something about PS Move support, is that true and does that mean I could have an RE4Wii type experience?

First reviews do nothing more than, at best, set the highest possible ceiling of expectations. At worst, and most typically, they are nonsense.
Still...regardless of this review...I'm really looking forward to Dead Space 2

I don't have a problem with devs putting multiplayer into primarily single player games as long as there isn't multiplayer focused achievements or trophies. I'm actually more likely to keep a game if there's a high likelihood that I'll eventually get 1000gs or a platinum trophy in it.
What's the story with Dead Space 2's achievements?

From what little I played of the beta, the multiplayer is actually pretty fun as long as you're playing with folks who know what they're doing. Gameplay modes are implemented well.Lard said:
I don't think the addition of MP means anything, it's a choice of include MP, or don't make the game with EA at the moment. I don't think 'unless' MP means the single player will be negatively affected at all.
I have never logged on to Metal Gear Online, RDR Online or Uncharted 2 online and I was completely happy with my purchases and didn't feel as though the inclusion of MP compromised the SP at all.

Yeah, I think too many people may have gotten stuck with terrible players. That can really hurt the experience because teamwork is absolutely necessary to the game.

Lard, given the weird irrational hate you seem to have for multiplayer (especially in sequels to games that didn't have MP) I think it's fair to say that you don't have the most reliable opinion as far as multiplayer is concerned. IIRC, you've said that you enjoyed Uncharted 1 and I imagine that you probably spent more than $20 on it. The consensus is that Uncharted 2 is a better single-player game than Drake's Fortune but for some reason you've got a stick up your ass because they added something completely optional that was no detriment to the single-player making it somehow worth less.
Most annoyingly you drag this crap into things that you don't have a fucking clue about. I think I've seen you bitch about the Autolog in Hot Pursuit without understanding what it is and you said that you were considering not getting Dragon Age 1 when someone mentioned it having a completely optional and unintrusive social networking feature. And I don't think I've seen you post anything about Dead Space 2 that wasn't you whining about the inclusion of multiplayer.
