Dead Space 2 out today, reviews excellent so far

All articles and reviews ive read also point to it being brilliant. Will post my findings after spending some time with it myself.
 
Just put my copy in the PS3, installing extraction now. I still have to finish Dead Space (currently at Chapter 7), but I'll start playing Extraction and check out the MP for DS2.
 
Played the first chapter of Extraction with the move and I have to say, I am impressed. Looks like it's gonna be a lot of fun, the only problem I see is my arm getting tired. Will probably finish it first before finishing Dead Space 1 and moving on to 2.
 
Just played a couple of quick MP matches; it's pretty awesome, much better than I thought it would be. Now I just have to finish DS1 and Extraction ASAP so I can get to DS2 SP.
 
Played the first few Chapter and must say I am impressed. Lighting is Brilliant as is sound design. Its also nice to see a bit more enemy variety. I did notice that while dismemberment is still the best bay to kill the enemies simply putting a few rounds into them does work better than it did in No 1. The javelin launcher is also pretty awesome. I did notice that the scares are a little more predictable, or maybe its just me. It also feels faster passed than the original, it remains to be seen if the more linear structure works.

I got about half way in Dead Space on friday night and thought I'm going to try Dead Space 2. The very first thing I noticed was how the controls are about 200% better and almost makes it unbearable to go back to playing the first game because of the poor mouse controls.

The scares is a little bit more predictable, but it's probably because DS 2 takes a more action orientated approach. Although they decided to take a little bit of a different route this time, I must say that I'm enjoying it very much so far. It's good that they didn't just do exactly the same thing again. It's also really been stepped up quite a notch in all aspects and it seems so much more polished.

I'd say this is definitely worth the buy hey. First game I bought this year and I'm happy to say that it's not my first disappointment.

Only thing that pisses me off a bit is the reworked controller layout on XBox, its not the same as the original even though no new feature save the ability to heal with out having to go into the inventory screen. I keep reloading when I want to fire stasis.

Ah, that sucks dude!

Good thing the keyboard layout is pretty much still the same. But yes, it would've been really nice if they gave you shorcut keys for the air cans and stasis packs as well.
 
Only played the for 5 minutes... but GOOD impression. First Impressions lasts :)

I Loved the "Previously on Dead Space" video. Nice to refresh memory of what happened in the first game.
Now to get myself a Move Controller to try Extraction, I played it briefly on the Wii and it was very fun.

Now to get the wife to leave me alone to play DS2!! :)
