Dead Space: EA at its BEST!
Date of Review: Apr 12, 2009
The Bottom Line: Dead Space will have you changing your pants. Its riveting storyline, mysterious cast of characters, and grotesque alien baddies will leave you with a enthralling experience that you wont forget.
I recently finished playing through Dead Space and it was the best and most satisfying game I have played on the Xbox 360. It is worth the full $60.00 retail price although its price dropped rather quickly making this game an absolute steal. If you are even debating getting this game than do so now, I promise you, you will not regret the purchase. It instanlty starts out in the midst of an alien attack on an ominous space ship. The game delievers with its unique strategy of dismembering limbs of the aliens which stalk you waiting for thier chance to pounce. Shoot off the legs of a alien to render them slow and at your mercy or blow off an arm to take away their deadly claws. Scores of different enemys to hunt you down through vents, walls, and from below. The sounds and eerie environment put you into the game. The sound keeps you at the edge of the seat. This game will have you enthralled from the get go unable to put it down until you have beaten it. It is worth the money and has replay value with the incentive of keeping your previously earned upgraded weapons and armor on the next go around. Surround sound, lights, out, and playing alone to get the full affect, I assure you, you will be SCARED. Various text and video logs scattered through the levels to help finish the puzzle piece by piece. Boss fights are of epic proporiton, literally, and are memorable and challenging. Onscreen health, ammo, inventory, and navigation are ON-Screen to keep you in the game never taking you out of the edgy, tense, and paranoid feelings you will have while playing this game.
