The demo is finally out. Graphics have improved and gameplay is more smooth and fluidlike. The necromorphs will drop after a few shots only to get up again when you get close. Blood and sfx are more gory too.

New video preview by gamespot.com. I won't watch it seeing as the game comes out in 10 days but I thought I'd post it up anyway for everyone else who's interested...

Yeah came out today. Mine arrived yesterday... thanks ebgames :)

Basically the same as the 1st game just the usual changes - tweaked graphics, new bad guys and weapons. that being said, gameplay feels different (not so much claustrophobic as before) and multiplayer is really cool. The story is also a lot more indepth compared to the first one.

I'm hoping lot's of people play multiplayer. It's more fun than I thought it would have been.

If anyone else gets the game let me know. The more the merrier.

One team is monsters, the other is humans.

The humans need to complete an objective and the monsters need to stop them. You then switch sides after each round.

The human side can only die once but require more hits to kill. Monsters get killed easily but can respawn by choosing a respawn point within the map. The objectives vary as well. The game requires a lot of teamwork.

As you progress and gain higher levels/rank, you can upgrade your guns and such (if you're human) or upgrade your killing abilities and skills (if you're necromorph).

I think there may be some youtube videos showing off the multiplayer if you wanna check it out before you spend the $$$ buying the game.

Finally finished the game. All I have to say is the ending is MUCH better than the first one.

Probably one of the better aspects of the game is that cut-scenes don't take up much time at all... You spend more time playing than watching while still getting a good idea of the story. There were a few times when I didn't even realise the cut-scenes were interactive I ended up dying.........

Unlike the first game, Dead Space 2 has 15 chapters, instead of 12.

Now to finish it on Hardcore - each time you die, you restart back at your last save, AND you only get three saves total.

New DLC for Dead Space 2.

Unlike the COD games, where you pay $15-$20 for a few maps, this DLC is under $10 and features new campaign, new characters, new voice acting and so on.

And, according to gamespot, it's actually well worth getting it.

I found it a lot easier than the first game.

My main method of attack is wait for the necros to get close, then blow them apart with the force gun. Use the pulse rifle to take care of the pack (kids with claws).

The dlc is pretty good too.

I am up to chapter 13 now. Finding it abit difficult now. Swarms of non-stop necromorphs.

Call me oldschool but my favourite weapon is the Plasma cutter. I find it cuts their limbs off easiest.

Dead space 1 - plasma cutter all the way. Using only this gun i had clocked it on impossible mode.

Dead space 2 - went zealot mode as soon as i bought the game - using the two guns mentioned above. A tip would be to keep the force gun equipped. This way if anything jumps in front of you, blast it away to give yourself time to quickly assess the situation and switch to your preferred weapon. also works well clearing the area against multiple enemies. Remember to wait for them to get really close. Generally one shot will blow them apart.

Hardcore mode is next. I need to find the time. Also I'll end up smashing everything if I died and had to restart three chapters back.

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
