This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Dead Space 2 for PlayStation 3
Dead Space 2 for PlayStation 3 is a science-fiction horror game in which Isaac Clarke awakens in the space settlement The Sprawl. Carrying the consequences of his earlier journey to the Ishimura, he faces Necromorphs again. You follow him from an over-the-shoulder perspective through residential rooms, public facilities and engineering areas. The story connects his escape with questions about how far he can trust his own perceptions.
You stop attackers by deliberately damaging their limbs and use Stasis to gain time. Kinesis lets you grab objects from a distance, including during combat. New enemy types require different aiming points and enough room to move. Zero-gravity sections let Isaac move more freely than in the first game. Workbenches, collected resources and upgrades let you choose where to invest before entering the next room.
Dead Space 2's campaign is for one player. Silence and hallucinations alternate with chases and sudden attacks. The offered Limited Edition also includes Dead Space: Extraction on the same Blu-ray, a separate adventure following a predetermined route. Extraction supports a standard DualShock 3; PlayStation Move is optional. This extra game has its own controls and is not a cooperative version of Isaac's campaign.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 3 games are European editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
This is the Limited Edition of Dead Space 2 for PlayStation 3. Dead Space: Extraction shares the Blu-ray with Dead Space 2. Extraction can be played with a DualShock 3; PlayStation Move is optional. Other downloadable expansions and unused bonus codes are not promised as included.
Manual
Dead Space 2 for PlayStation 3 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Dead Space 2
Visceral Games developed Dead Space 2 as the sequel to the 2008 horror game. Electronic Arts released it in 2011 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. The studio exchanged the mining ship for a settlement where families lived and everyday facilities were needed. This allowed the infection to affect different locations, showing Isaac the consequences for ordinary residents alongside engineering hazards.
Isaac took a more active role in conversations, and the sequel gave his memories greater space. Carefully targeting Necromorphs remained the combat foundation. The developers added tools and enemy types and changed movement in zero-gravity areas. The result is recognisably connected to the first game, but larger locations and faster events give the escape a different rhythm from repairing the Ishimura.
A PS3 Limited Edition included an HD version of Dead Space: Extraction, originally made for Wii. This extra adventure depicts events before the first Dead Space. It is on the disc, so the base Extraction game does not require a single-use download code. Later expansions and other bonus codes are not automatically included. Dead Space 3 continued Isaac's story on an ice planet in 2013.
Similar games for PlayStation 3
Dead Space introduces Isaac, the Necromorphs and limb-cutting tools on PlayStation 3. The original mining ship gives the journey an enclosed industrial atmosphere. Dead Space 2 moves that foundation into a populated settlement and gives Isaac more spoken reactions. Movement in zero-gravity sections is also freer in the sequel.
Dead Space 3 retains Stasis and Necromorph combat on PlayStation 3, but lets you build more weapon combinations. The ice planet and journey through wrecks change the setting. Dead Space 2 centres its campaign entirely on a solitary Isaac and uses The Sprawl's rooms to alternate exploration and pursuit.
Resident Evil 5 uses a similar over-the-shoulder perspective on PlayStation 3 and asks you to watch ammunition and healing items. Cooperation and two protagonists are central there. Dead Space 2 gives Isaac no regular playable partner in his campaign. Its tension comes more from isolation, memories and enemies demanding precise hits on different body parts.
BioShock 2 returns you to a damaged science-fiction world on PlayStation 3, connecting combat with a personal story. You investigate Rapture in first person, combining weapons with plasmids. Dead Space 2 chooses a new main setting, keeps its protagonist visible and ties weapon management to dismembering Necromorphs.
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin also alternates fierce combat with hallucinations and threatening interiors on PlayStation 3. Exceptional reflexes slow the action and give you time to react precisely. Dead Space 2 focuses on monsters in a space settlement and an over-the-shoulder camera. F.E.A.R. 2 makes you a first-person soldier mainly fighting human opponents.
