Very slowly making way through it, enjoying it so far. :)

Very awesome game! Also, I think that the scariest game ever! :)

I'm really trying to resist buying it... currently working my way through AC Brotherhood and I've not played much of LBP2 yet, but the excellent review scores are really tempting me!

Well done to Visceral and EA though - after the first game sold reasonably but not brilliantly, it must be good for DS2 to be making more of an impact.

Good atmosphere. Javelin kinetics and gore stompin are the best bits

Really ncie results for Dead Space 2, but check this out:

"56 per cent of sales were for Xbox 360, with 40 per cent on PS3 and the remaining 4 on PC"

Now tell me that PC piracy is not an issue...

@Alfonso, Maybe PC gamers are just too busy with The Sims, WoW and Zyngaville?

@Joe Bognar This game is nothing to 'Amnesia: the dark desent' in terms of scaryness but it is still a great game.

DS2 definitely deserves its success and please Visceral, keep up the excellent work !
Funny though how it manages to get the title of best survival horror to the detriment of Silent Hill/Resident Evil. I mean who would have thought that a few years ago when they seemed to master the genre.
Obviously, both of these "ex-excellent" IP's have lost their way in some "western/casual orientation" (or whatever the hell you call it) such as the latest FFXIII. This brings up again the question of knowing whether or not Japanese studios are still able to make decent games as soon as they try themselves to the worldwide market. Sure Platinium games and Level 5 still kick ass, but what for this others ? I wonder...

(*stomping on an alien who tried to sneak from behind*... take that...and that... AND THAT...AAAAAAAND STAY DOWN !! )

I'm on Chapter 6 at the moment and loving it so far. I agree, it's incredibly scary! I can put myself through only a chapter a day, because I don't have the guts (or the heart!) to play more than that lol :P. Even if I play multiple chapters a day (like I did with the previous one), monsters speeding at me or appearing out of the blue NEVER gets old for me. They get me nearly every time, Jesus Christ! So job well done, Visceral Games!

I don't get the people who say it's not scary at all - either they are afraid to admit it or are not human.

And no, I haven't played Amnesia. I plan to give a go soon, though.

switch off the sound and switch on the subtitles. You'll notice that sound design is very crucial towards anticipation and immerse horror element for DS2, blended ontop of the elements of strobing lights, or monochromic coloured scenes

@Hugo:

Did not see it that way hehe, maybe you are right after all.

Also a thing that didn't came to my mind yesterday... that "Dead Space 2" on top counts the sales inside UK only? or also those thousand uncut German imports?

@ Chee: Very true! I tried that in one of the chapters and wasn't as immersed (a lot less scary though, indeed), so I switched the sound back on. I want to get the full experience and not just play so I can breeze through the game for plot, whether that means I have to change my underwear or not :).
