Yikes. Apparently I'm the only one here that likes Dead Space (actually, I remember a person here on CD that was equally or more obsessed with the first game than I was). I've beat Dead Space well over 15 times, literally. And I pre-ordered the collector's edition of Dead Space 2.
I'm on Chapter 5 after an hour and a half of playing, which is both disappointing and expected with recent releases. There's only 15 chapters I hear, so I'm 1/3 done with the game. So I'm going to guess it'll be just a little bit longer than Modern Warfare 2, which I beat in four hours. But so far I loved it even more than I loved the first. While it's not scary, it's fun and some parts get your adrenaline pumping. At least for me.
And the replica Plasma Cutter wasn't that bad with the LED lights. $20 for a cool looking light-up plastic fun, an exclusive suit and gun, and a soundtrack honestly wasn't that bad of a price. I also really, really dig the collector's edition box.
I haven't tried multiplayer just yet, but I sure hope it's good. Even if it's not, I'll be playing single player over and over like I did the first game.
I'm obsessed with the series
