Dead Space

Wow, this game is amazing. one of the best games I have played in a long time. When the first creature appeared I was startled and I liked that and you had to run from it to get your weapon. the graphics in this game are great. the creatures look amazing and so do the rest of the characters and the background. the story is great and the voice acting is great. the intensity of the game is great as well, you are always on edge not knowing when a creature will come out and attack you and the music is just icing on the cake. EA did a great job with this game and I hope the rest are as good or better. If you have not played this game then I recommend you do. This game is GametasticRead full review...

Great modern take on survival horror

This game is a phenomenal entry to the shrinking genre of survival horror. The creators did a fantastic job of preserving the essence of survival/horror while introducing modern gameplay mechanics and situations. The atmosphere of the game's environments seriously highlights the overall feelings of isolation and gives life to the phrase "wtf was that?" Overall, this game demonstrates how to do it right when you want to make a scary, well-developed game and at the same time incorporate enough action to keep players from getting bored. (The weapons system for this and the 2nd dead space are far superior because it puts players in situations where you would count your shots, and have to tactfully approach a fight, rather than blaze through a tough spot with 10,000 shots of ammo. Ammo is scarce, but the weapons are powerful. Overall, the scarcity of ammo makes you a better player in the game because, missing a couple shots dramatically alters your next encounters.)Read full review...

Excellent Buy!

Game came in excellent condition. No scratches and plays amazingly well. The case was slightly cracked but not an issue at all. Have been looking for this game for years!

Dead Space

Graphics: Breathtaking 9/10
The graphics are make you look twice – you feel as if you are on the ship with Isaac, and even in deep space. Though the levels look similar, you will see the immediate beauty of this game. It is a difficult thing to be consistent, yet differentiate enough to create an entire ship.

Sound: Amazing – 9.5/10
The sounds, music, effects, and voices take you immediately into the game. Surround sound is a must so you can hear the uttering, chanting, and footsteps of the habitants of this game. A lot of time, and thought, went into putting in effect...Read full reviewive music, parts with no music, and the fell of being utterly alone. The best, yet simplistic feeling is when you go into space for the first time, and all you hear is your own breath and heartbeat.

Gameplay: Spectacular – 9/10
Smooth animations, large – but intuitive levels, smart enemies and A.I., different possibilities for battles and puzzles – without giving anything away, this game is different, and in a good way. Fans of Bioshock and Resident Evil 4 will feel at home with this. The way you kill enemies is really unique, and fun.

Replay Value – Good 7/10
Even without multiplayer, this game has replay value with the Impossible Difficulty, and they mean that. The only issues I have with the replay is that you will know where the “jump out points” are and will be expecting what will happen.

Overall – Perfect 9/10
I am a fan of Survival Horror and the entire genre. When I play this game, I have to say that this isn’t so much survival horror on the Easy to Hard difficulty settings, being that there is plenty of ammo, stores, and save points, but survival Action. Think of this as a sci-fi movie, and that it is more like Aliens as opposed to Alien. The details and ideas that went in this game prove that risks are still being taken in game development, and they pay off.

Though I say this is a “Survival Action” game, it is so much more. It feels as if it is a “best of” game – meaning that they take the best parts of many games such as Bioshock, Resident Evil 4, Prey, and other games that may fall into such a category. The use of in game story telling, and use of a item menu that is in game and in action, gives a whole new approach to playing the game.

The game is not perfect, but close to. The map is annoying to use, and the use of where to go makes the game a bit easier, but for how the story is set up, it works.

It is difficult for a company to release a new IP these days, and have it be successful, and I feel that Dead Space does just that. Enjoy playing this with the lights off.

It creates its own genre. It has elements taken from genres such as RPG, puzzlers, action-adventures, but is not pigeonholed into this experience. Spending time with this game, it is apparent that EA games wanted to create a cinematic and different experience in a game – and make the horror genre prevalent again.Read full review...

One of the best

Playing PlayStation 3 in 2022, the graphics still hold up. This game is everything is was made it to be 10 plus years ago. One of the best PlayStation games ever made. Opinion comes with only a few hours of gameplay experience.Read full review...

Dead Space PS3

This game has everything you want in a survival horror game. Great responsive controls, great graphics, great audio effects. I found the game to be intense and eerie at times, ideal attributes for a survival horror game. The space theme is cool though the story is "used". The spins and twists used in the game are unique. If there are any flaws to mention I would say the final boss fight is a little too easy. This is a great game and I look forward to the sequel. I will usually check reviews for a game before I buy unless a sequel of a game I really enjoyed is being released. I think a seqel to this game will be a definite purchase.Read full review...

Creepy with a capital C.

The story is pretty much as follows, you are Isaac, engineer repairman. you and the crew stumble upon a planet mining ship called the USS Isshimura in need of aid. when you arrive, the crew immediately notices something is off. as you dock, your ship is soon rendered immobile and you and the crew have no choice but to repair this dead-in-the-water ship.

graphics: very good. some areas are not perfect but it's not going to hurt the games rating at all.

sound: perfect. one of the many things that makes the game mess with you, even on the easiest difficulty.

game play: you use the entire controller. some actions like R1 is a melee attack. and L1 and R1 is to shoot. a few other actions require this doubled up control scheme, but it works and it'll feel nature shortly after starting.

atmosphere: perfect. this is what makes this game. the visuals, the sounds, the location, the characters, all work together to give you that "i'm alone in space and no one can help me" feeling. it will definately mess with you to start down a hall and the lights go out only to find something right behind you as you turn around.

over all, for $20 it's a steal IF you are looking for a survival horror experience in space. if survival horror is not really your thing, rent it.
the game will mess with you even on easy.Read full review...
