The great thing about Dead Space 2's multiplayer is that a match can be entirely one-sided against either team, depending on how coordinated each side is, but all it takes for either side to lose their advantage is a moment of sloppiness. We played a game as Necromorphs where the humans were very coordinated, but they became arrogant at the last step, and decided to pull away from the objective to pick us off from relative safety, or so they thought:

By the time they realized that the Pack is short enough to avoid getting shot while behind the objective, it was too late to stop me. :v

Also, if you're playing as Humans, the anxiety of getting separated from your team is real, given your limited ammo, and the fact that you are always outnumbered and vulnerable to enemy grapples. Here's what it can look like when humans stick together:

Now imagine being caught alone.

Anyway, as far as asymmetrical multiplayer goes, Dead Space 2's is a lot of fun, and definitely worth trying out (especially since the game is free this month).

As with all backwards compatible games, be sure to check the Add-on list for free maps and the occasional online pass.
