Yea... i agree... i wanted to have more of a Eternal Darkness feel to it as to how disturbed and insane you where after the first one. Instead Isaac is more of a wiseass that tries to be more of a hero, part of the charm of the first one is, he is just a guy... kinda like Gordon Freeman. Still.. the game is beautiful, and i enjoyed playing it. But i wanted more of a psychological approach (like they said they were doing) and less action packed a la resident evil 5.
Imagine... the games atmosphere and creepyness, with just delusions, and things that haunt you... like shadows, noises that make transport you to nightmares. That would've been awesome! Thats why i like Eternal Darkness, and also like Amnesia:The Dark Descent. Those games mess with your heads. I think even Arkham Asylum did a better job when batman breathed that gas, those parts where his nightmares haunt him were pretty awesome. I know that they do that, kinda through out the game. But it feels more like cheap scare attempts, with loud noises and flickering lights to at least give you a seizure.
Anyways.. so much potential in this game that didn't get fleshed out. OH! and the multiplayer sucks! SO BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!
I will give this game an A+ when it comes to death animations.... those are way scary and gruesome. Kudos on that one.

reason why I'm staying kinda away from it..
that, and I'm not allowed to play Dead Space (one) while my girlfriend is home, and she's home at night, when I'd want to play..:poly141:
thats what I get for lying to her and saying that the corpse over there, probably is dead, and its totally safe to just continue down the dark hallway..
Been playing it recently, not that far into it yet. So far the story hasn't grabbed me or intrigued me much at all. It's fun though and there's some awesome visuals.

I couldn't agree more and this is why i'm struggling to get myself to finish it. Hell of a lot of fun thom it just doesn't pull me in as much as the first one did.

What do you mean.
Go on...
not entirely out-of-place.
