Though it shouldn't require explanation, this beast attacks by grasping Isaac's shoulders and vomiting on his face.

Along the way Isaac is assaulted by a new enemy type called a Puker. The demo opens with Isaac making his way towards the church of Unitology, via a series of intestinal metal corridors. Dead Space 2 is a vulgar amplification of everything I disliked in the first game. After the demo, it's hard to think of many criticisms that stick. I had promised to deliver some skeptical criticism and, going in, I was ready to deliver it. I thought the first game was a disjointed misfire that connected deafening gunplay with ambient exploration without anything to really discover. I had to apologize to an EA representative after watching the Dead Space 2 demo.
