1 minute review (sort of) Enslaved and Dead Space 2

So you and i thought this wouldn't happen but guess what i have finally gotten round to doing a new 1 minute review however because i've had very little time to fully do one this one is slightly special.

So why is this special well it's for two reason first off there are two games getting reviewed in this post in the shape of Enslaved and Dead Space 2.
Secondly it will not be a 1 minute review however instead it will be a quick 10 second review where i will tell you why you should buy it instead of just rambling on and on.

So i hope that you will look over the review and i do promise that the full 1 minute review will be back once i have everything sorted out.


Enslaved
So first off is the really good Enslaved and the reason why you should buy this is down to the fact not only are the characters likeable but the story is very engaging and the whole graphical feel of the game is wonderful.
There are a few problems however with the game, firstly it's very generic in the fact that nothing new in this game, secondly there are a few times in the game where you will get frustrated and finally the ending is so strange it goes up there with MGS4 and Halo 2.

If you are after a really engaging game with some fantastic characters that you want to find out more about them on there journey then please go out and buy this game as it's not just your everyday hack and slash adventure, this game has heart.

Dead Space 2
Have you ever played a game where you have jumped so much that you get so scared to sleep in the dark, well i haven't however Dead Space 2 tries it's bloody best to do that and in most cases it works.
You see the whole point of a survival horror is to scare the crap out of you and the original Dead Space did that to me and while the sequel didn't scare me as much as the original i still jumped a few times.

Where Dead Space 2 succeeds is in it's scale because now you are not just stuck on one ship this time you are on a whole space station so this gives a more action feel to the game this time.
The main problem however with Dead Space 2 is that it doesn't have the impact that the first one did you see with the first one the whole point was to be nervous and scared throughout and while there are a few moments in this where it does happen most of the time it just feels like you are playing a action game and not a survival horror.
One other down point about this game is that the difficult curve is silly because one moment you might be able to breeze through sections then you come across a part where it takes ages to get past it because you are dying all of the time.

apart from the few niggles i had with this game it's still a brilliant one and a game that should be played by any one who enjoyed the first one and even people who  had slight doubts about it.

Again sorry for the small reviews this will only be a one off for now so next time the one minute review will be back.
