You do start the game with the Pulse rifle - already half upgraded - but because there aren't enough nodes around to buff any of the other weapons, this will become your go-to gun whether you like it or not. Which is only really there so you can buy back all the weapons you finished the game with. As a consolation you get a new suit - complete with a shiny orange eye instead of Isaac's blue strips - to creep around in, and you start the game with 50,000 credits to spend in the store. Oh and remember that section where you're hanging upside down and slaughtering the oncoming hordes while trying to free your foot? You get to do that again. Baring a few un-noteworthy exceptions, Severed takes the locations, weapons and enemies and (to a certain extent) storyline from Dead Space 2, swaps out the main character, and condenses the experience down to a bare 90 minutes. Now he's onboard the infected Sprawl and trying to reach his girlfriend, Lexine, who's holed up in the medical bay. This time, you're following Gabe Weller, a security guard last seen in Dead Space Extraction. And that's not the only way in which DS2's first DLC package is revisiting old ground. And that's not the only way in Dead Space 2's latest expansion pack sticks to the pattern of the series' add-ons by being distinctly average.
