Good game, I guess.

Though some of the bosses are quite anticlimatic and you do feel weird when the final boss is easier to fight than a wave of 10-20 normal robot enemies. Which is a negative point - in the late game (especially if you're playing co-op) it gets very difficult and tedious because enemies can one-hit or two-hit you. Annoying when the waves are rather large and you constantly have to respawn to get through a wave of enemies.

But still I have also had some of the best boss fights ever so I guess it's kind of hit or miss with them in this game.

Overall a very good game though. Great story, great action, great fights (sometimes). Would buy if on sale!

Such a good game. So annoying sometimes, but I keep on coming back! So that must be some kind of achievement.

It doesn't actually add anything. I tried every mapmode but nothing comes up.

So yeah, it's essentially a waste of money for something that's not going to appear in the game.

This game is pretty decent purely storywise and considering all the things you can do. I actually have enjoyed liberating outposts and cities because it's a challenge. The wingsuit is fantastic and should really be one of the biggest sales points for this game.

However, people are right in the fact that the game is badly optimized. I should probably be able to play it at a higher resolution and graphics level but for everything above medium, 1080p and stuff turned off, the game is unplayable. Even just tick one setting up to high and the game stutters and freezes.
Another thing, however, is the weird freezes and lags and a series of horribly placed invisible walls (or maybe jeg entities not working properly?). This really ruins the challenges that you have to complete to be able to upgrade your wingsuit, cars, planes, guns etc. - and you really want to do this because otherwise they are not good for anything. With the lags and weird behavior of planes, choppers, wingsuits and trees, these challenges are sometimes impossible to get anything but a 3-gear reward. Multiple times I have crashed face first into a mountain with 300km/h in a plane and only got a small amount of decal damage while I have other times slightly hit a fence, tree, person, or the side of a mountain with less than 5km/h and having the vehicle/plane/chopper instantly explodel.

Anyways, I am not done with the story mission, but the game is huge and the story is better than the 2nd game, so I can recommend it.

Really good game. Not really more to say.

Like the old ones but better because it feels more open and the side quests are actually really well done. Sometimes they are even connected with eachother meaning that solving the side quests makes the main quest much easier.

However it's awfully glitchy at times. Many times I have ragequitted solely because I was one hit from killing a monster and then I get stuck in mid air by a patch of grass that's colliding with me for some reason.

Checkpoints are worse than the first Jak and Daxter game.... Seriously, the last mission is hell. The boss just onehits you and you are dead, which means you have to go through almost 20 minutes of waiting aka. defending for a set amount of time. Game is pretty great otherwise, but the checkpoints make it unplayable sometimes.

Dead Space™ 2 is a really good game (probably even better than Dead Space™ in some ways). Unlike the first game with it's AMD problem (poor port), it's much smoother (even on higher settings). Some of the new weapons are pretty great, but the huge arsenal of weapons, weapon mods, armor and armor mods, is just ridiculous. Isaacs progression and the various characters stories are just great. The new telekinesis and the jetpack makes for a better and more exciting form of combat. The amount of deaths through the eyes are just a TINY bit weird... 9/10!
