re: Dead Space 2 question

One reason that I liked Dead Space 1 over 2 is that it always felt like there was a xenomorph behind me, and at times when you turn around, there fricking was.

This was my biggest complaint about DS2. It didn't feel as cramped and the audio was not on the same level as Dead Space. What made dead space so great was the fact that it was so claustrophobic and there was always the sound of something sneaking up on you just out of your field of view, even if there wasn't. I was constantly turning around and looking over my shoulder in Dead Space, and that didn't happen nearly as much in DS2. Dead Space was one of the few games I've played that was so nerve racking I could only play for so long before I felt physically exhausted.
