![]() It also has a acidy bile sac that it makes use of, as it can grab you can it will try to pour the acid down Issac’s suit. The puker also seems to have a third leg. Puker:Īnother variant of the standard slasher, the puker uses a ranged shot that slows Issac down, acting like a necromorph version of stasis. A well placed shot will explode the creature and (hopefully) kill anything around it. Killing an exploder should be of utmost importance. Make up: Human form with an explosive growth. Instead, it has a bright yellow growth on it that can cause massive damage if it explodes near you. Exploders:Ī variant of the typical slashers, the exploder also takes a very humanish form but is devoid of the blades. Like enhanced slashers, enhanced lurkers are often greenish in color.įinding a lurker can be difficult, but once you do taking off 2 tentacles will kill the creature for good. Make up: Another possible transformation option for infected children (due to their low amount of mass), the lurker has three tentacles it uses to throw barbs at its enemies. Enhanced lurkers are, like enhanced slashers, stronger than the normal variety. ![]() Lurker and Enhanced Lurkers:Ī small necromorph that often crawls on the walls and ceilings, it keeps its distance from its prey and uses ranged attacks (barbs) to kill. Use of a fast weapon with weak ammo is suggested (Pulse Rifle). One of the easiest enemies in the game to defeat, just be sure to have your back covered as they like to surround you. They also seem to be able to tell each other when prey (Issac) has been found. Make up: Possibly the result of children being infected, as their stature suggests. Smaller necromoprhs (about child size) that attempt to take Issac down with horde like methods. Enhanced versions are naturally stronger and can withstand more punishment. Make up: Standard human form with two blades that grow where the human’s arms used to be that it uses to “slash” at you. The Slasher comes in a variety of forms: you can encounter them normally, with their legs cut off, in security uniforms, in civilian clothes, etc… You can also encounter “enhanced” versions, like the one pictured above, which are stronger than your normal slasher. Dead Space 2 is not for those of a nervous disposition.Your standard necromorph. I need to play something cute and happy to take the edge of now. Multiple play-throughs are required for the platinum but I appreciate my sanity too much to fight to the end more than once. There are 59 trophies (8 of them DLC) of which I managed to win 51%. I suppose it is a survival horror too, but the environments get repetitive and it goes on for a bit too long. The gameplay is the over-shoulder, run-and-gun type you've seen in Resident Evils 4 and 5. Every breath, every gasp, every distant rumble will make the hairs on arm stand on end, and some of the stingers (quite clever ones too) will cause your heart to stop beating. If you have a home cinema you can scare yourself to death by playing this at night, with the lights off, and sound turned all the way up. ![]() It is honestly the most frightening game I have played since Condemned 2 (PS3). The dread in Dead Space 2 is overwhelming. The resulting Necromorphs (terrifying monsters made from re-animated human corpses) spread the chaos as Issac flees through the disintegrating colony while hallucinating his dead girlfriend as a demonic ghost. On his way to safety he also fights against the Unitologists, a cult who worship 'The Marker', a faux religious artifact that is actually a man-made weapon that turns human DNA to sludge. You play as Issac Clarke, an engineer who wakes up on a colony on Titan to discover that a disgusting biological accident called the Necromorphs have taken over. Having never played the first game I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep up with the story, but thankfully there is a 'previously on Dead Space' option on the main menu. Dead Space 2 ain't no tourist brochure for Outer Space. Never! I know it's unlikely that we will see commercial space travel in my lifetime (or at all if Einstein's theory of relativity is airtight), but in order to retreat from the horror of this game I just might run away to an island and live a life of coconuts and loincloths.
