Dead Space 2 is a survival horror third-person shooter. The player controls Isaac Clarke from a third-person point of view, looking over the character’s right shoulder. The game features no HUD elements, relying on holograms projected from the player character and his weapons to show information such as messages and ammunition count, respectively. Player health and stasis is shown by a visual indicators located on Isaac’s back. Isaac must fight an alien organism that infects and takes control of human corpses, turning them into “Necromorphs”, mutating their bodies.
Necromorphs must be dismembered as the alien organism controls host bodies via tentacles extending into their limbs. Other, larger types of Necromorphs that cannot be dismembered will often have yellow, glowing pustules, indicating weak spots. Occasionally, when an enemy gets close enough to Isaac, they will grab a hold of him, and the player must repeatedly press a key to fend off the enemy, with failure to do so leading to death of the player character.
Dead Space 2 is a hell of a fun game but it doesn't tax any of the modern gaming cards, even at very high resolution and image quality settings. The MSI N560GTX has no problem powering through this engine, trailing behind the GTX570.
damn, thats a nice card. MSI certainly have created one of the nicest looking cards !
Thats what im talking about. under £200 too ! wow, was expecting it to be 230. best buy right now? must be up there with the best.
Have to hand it to MSI, they know their card designs. I dont buy into that ‘military grade’ stuff myself, but the cards get plenty of attention to detail and thats worth a lot of credit when some other manufacturers can be very lazy.
Excellent, glad to see a good 560 here, even among the 40,000 AMd reviews 😉
I have the 460 GTX from MSI, which I read here and on bitech last year, its been the best video card ive owned. I dont really need this card, but the next generation 660 ? ill be getting that from MSI. awesome boards.
560 is an awesome card, thanks for the review Z, awesome as always.
Wish they would do a 2GB version. lets also hope the new generation will support 3 screens without needing two.
Very impressed with this board, 60c under load when gaming? thats better than a 5770 I have in another case !
Great price point to achieve. would be my first choice for a new card.
nvidia tessellation performance gets to me everytime. AMD have still such a long way to go.
proves a point too that when AMD fans say Nvidia suck a lot of power, the new designs have it sorted. 🙂
