>>9124915One of the biggest differences between the first and second game is that in 2, they actually gave the main character who was originally a silent protagonist a face, a voice, and a personality. Which one might consider a huge risk since the first game was so popular, but they actually managed to play it off extremely well and eventually made me sympathize with the man. And as for the vibe? It's survival horror through and through. Pretty much every encounter makes you feel like your life is consistently in danger and that you're barely managing to scrape by. Panic is a frequent state of being you'll be in if you play Dead Space 2 in particular. And although there's plenty of jump scares, it actually goes beyond that at many points and leaves you with a sense of terror as you make your way through the levels.
