So I've had my eyes on Dead Space for a while and I finally decided I was going to pick it up at Gamestop tomorrow. However, when I went on their website to check their hours I found out that Resistance 2 comes out Tuesday. I wasn't interested at first because I played the demo of the first one and found it to be okay, but after reading about it and watching some videos it looks like Resistance 2 has improved quite a bit since the first one, and the online looks awesome. Which one do you guys think I should get?

Also, for any of you who have completed Dead Space maybe you could tell me how long it took because I don't want to buy a game that I can finish in only 6 hours.

You really can't go wrong with either choice. Resistance 2 will obviously give you far more playtime (if you're really into online play). However, I still recommend at least playing/renting Dead Space at some point because it's fantastic. I've played through it 3 times now; first playthrough was about 20 hours (really took my time going through), the other two plays were around 10-12 hours each.

i remember playing the resistance demo a year ago and i wasn't impressed but i kept reading good reviews about it so i got it when i got my tax return and once i got the controls down and learned how to use the different guns i loved it , i went to gamecrazy yesterday to get deadspace after reading nothing but great reviews about it, i'm still learning the controls but what everyone has said about it so far they're right it's a beautiful game, i also paid off my preorder for R2 while i was there, if you only have enough money for one i would suggest R2 because of replay value and the online WILL be amazing but i also suggest picking up deadspace, from what i've read it's 12 levels around 2 hours apiece. sorry for the long post

Dead Space offers no multiplayer, so if that's a big deal to you then Resistance 2 would be the better choice.

tough, tough. dead space your first time through will take round 20 or so hours. im on my second time through and i kinda just jog through it now. but dead space is one heck of a game. something u dont need to pass up. now resistance 2, it isnt out yet, but the folks at insomniac havent messed up a game yet. the ratchet and clank series r amazing and the first resistance was very good. save up some money and get both, u cant go wrong.

Resistance 2 now - Dead Space later. It's single-player only so you're not missing anything by waiting to get it and play it - plus, it might get cheaper by the time you pick it up.

Buy Resistance 2. B'coz you can get lot of playtime from it. Rent dead space, it is also a game must be played.

Dead Space is fun but Resistance 2 should take priority.

Well a TPS Horror game vs. a Cool FPS game so hard to say. If you love the Survival Horror Genre then Dead Space(or just plain hate FPSs) but otherwise i'd say Resistance 2

resistance 2 beta was ok but thats the problem. r1 and r2 are mediocre. dead space i owned as well. best for single player experience but for multiplayer stick to BC (especially since they add new stuff for FREE all the time, didnt pay to get special weapons either)and COD:MW.

Ok, people, there's no need to keep on with this as the TC already bought Dead Space... which makes me wonder why he created this topic if he did the exact opposite of what everybody said.

1.) Not everybody said to buy Resistance 2, most agreed Dead Space was a good horror survival, which in the end I decided that was what I was looking for

2.) The guy at Gamestop let me play Dead Space first on the PS3 in the store and I loved it.

3.) I asked for some opinions to get a better idea of how good the games were and pick the one I thought I would like better, not so I could pick the game the majority of the responders agreed upon.

4.) I said I was saving up for Resistance 2 I didn't say I wasn't getting it. Before starting this topic I wasn't sure if I would buy R2, but I now I know I will buy it some time in the future.

Dead Space is an incredible game so far and it just keeps getting better

Hey don't take it the wrong way, I was barely trying to make a point because:

1) Most people agreed that DS is a great game, but they also said R2 was the way to go.

2) Cool, but I think the guy at Gamestop could do the same with R2 because the release date is not here yet.

3) If you wanted DS, why even ask??

Anyway, I'm not trying to argue here and I'm glad that you're enjoying the game you wanted in the 1st place. Trust me, I always try to encourage people on doing so... so much that some people here think I'm some kind of troll.
