This game is good, violent fun. Playing on hard is a desperate battle for survival, and even with me selling most items I come across to buy lots of nodes, I don’t get stuck in annoying death-loops or whatnot. You just mix up your strategies, and enemies that might take 7 or 8 rounds one time now fall in 2 or 3.

But the asteroid part sucked. There’s not…another, is there?

I played the demo and the little bastards that make you destroy the a button to knock them off are definitely frustrating. The first time they attacked I pressed the A button until it stopped appearing and I could walk. A few seconds later my upper body detached itself from my legs. I thought that was a bit odd. When I did the same part again I realized that one of the little creatures was still on my chest after the A button went away and it kept chewing on me while I walked around. That was…interesting

I too am a fan of Dead Space. It’s a great game in SOME areas, horrid in others. Since I’m lucky enough to have a HD TV, a lot of the unreadable text and such never happened, because they don’t.However aside from the ending, the storyline was horrid. There was barely any interaction or story development, and when there was, it was all done via audio codec.

That’s fine, add those like Doom 3 and Bioshock, but also add lengthy story elements besides those. Also the missions WERE boring for the most part. Fix this, fix that. The biggest saving grace to me was the combat. It was fun, especially when you find the beauty that is maxed out Plasma Cutter*the first weapon you get*. Please take the lesson EA. Not everyone has a HD tv, and if people can’t see important things due to this…

Oh Wardrox, where do I begin. :)

I’ll first point out that I’m a fan (a big fan) of Dead Space and there are some points I agree with you on (like coherence and unity of the chapters/story line) and I won’t point out every detail of your review that I disagree with. However, there is one thing that this game did very well and it is the immersion.

Maybe I got too into Isaac’s head but pretend you were Isaac on a ship that you had to fix. After a few pop-ups you would almost come to expect the way the monsters behave and thus the fear the main draw) is gone. But it was replaced (at least to me) with the want to survive.

This site has to get big if only to spite metacritic. You’ve got an 11 point scale that works in reverse… suck on that!

“Super Mario Galaxy with… lots of blood and guts floating around.”

That would be a perfect game.

I fully intended to rent the game but after playing the demo I was turned off completely.
