I played through the first game on my first play through on the hardest mode/difficulty available (I don't remember if that them unlocks an even tougher mode) and I also opted to just stick to the original gun as well. This created a real feeling of being trapped in that floating soup can, with very little means of seeing off whatever was lurking and ready to jump out at you. Also because of my weapon choice I was restricted ammo wise as well. This made for a great survival horror atmosphere. Being the only person on board is what made the game what it was, and it was this aspect of DS2 that I couldn't get past, the existence of other people. I'm not saying in its own right it's not an enjoyable game, but its certainly not what the original game was, which is what I wanted from the game. It's not something I could really see past, if I wanted action I'd have bought a standard TPS/FPS game. It's like the long awaited, but never confirmed Mirror's Edge 2, I'd be incredibly disappointed if they did finally release it and DISE had decided to put the free running on the back seat and instead focus on gun play, it could still be a good game but its not what I and a lot of others would have wanted from a sequel. And by the by I have played (though not finished the second installment of Dead Space) One thing I can admit to is co-op being a pull factor in DS3 (the only occasion I'd accept you not being the only survivor/human left).
