  Convince me to continue. I just put it down after dying repeatedly in the very large room in chapter 9 right after you get on the lift with your two buddies and you see your spaceship for the first time.
  
  I'm low on ammo and health and the thought of trying to play through that room for the 5th time is making me want to just watch the rest on youtube.
  
  Personally, I liked the first Dead Space a ton and played it through to the end, but this one just isn't grabbing me as much, I guess because it seems to add so little new to the experience aside from fairly random-feeling levels (hello, last half of Chapter 6?)
