I got past the turret mini game on my third attempt after that post. May it and its backwards controls rot in the darkest bowels of hell, and never darken my xbox again. Inevitably this sentiment means it will show up on a later level. Yay.

I'm now on the very start of chapter 5. It's hydroponics. Each time I played SS2 I got overwhelmed by the atmosphere and quit playing at the same area. Hydroponics. Whatever Dead Space has in store for me it can't be worse than SS2.

The effect hearing I was headed to hydroponics had on me leaves me in no doubt: this game does affect me because of the similarities to SS2. If it weren't for them I think I would be as immune to it as I am to the likes of Condemned.
