A Gruesome Nightmare In A Mining Starship Full Of Deadly Aliens, Will Isaac Survive?
Dead Space is a survival horror third-person shooter game, Released at October 24, 2008 for PC,
PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360
developed by EA Redwood Shores.
The game is played from an 'over the shoulder' third-person perspective.
The player takes the role of Isaac Clarke, an engineer who must fight his way through a mining starship
infested with hostile
grotesque monstrosities called Necromorphs, which are reanimated human corpses.
The game takes place in the year 2507, when the USG Ishimura a "Planet Cracker" starship,
sends out a distress signal to the Concordance Extraction Corporation during a mining operation on the
planet Aegis 7.
The CEC dispatches another ship to investigate, the USG Kellion.
As the Kellion attempts to dock with the Ishimura,
a guidance system malfunction occurs and the Kellion crashes into the Ishimura's dock.
The crew then begins to seek another means of transport.
As they explore what appears to be an abandoned ship,
they are attacked by weird monsters who kill off all but Isaac, Hammond, and Kendra.
Hammond recognizes that many of the ship's systems are failing,
thus he and Kendra direct and assist Clarke in fixing them, so as to keep them all alive for rescue.
During these treks, Clarke discovers various text and audio logs scattered throughout the ship and
pieces together the events that transpired before his arrival
Combat involves a mechanism called "strategic dismemberment",
in which the player must cut off limbs or sections of the Necromorphs to defeat them.
For example, shooting a certain type of Necromorph in the head will have little effect,
and it will continue attacking the player until all of its limbs are removed.
Depending on how they are wounded, Necromorphs can adopt new stances and tactics,
even sprouting new limbs or giving birth to new enemies in the process.
The game didn't fail at scaring me but it gets a little boring after the third chapter then it gets better and
better after the ninth.
it has something that makes it fun which is stepping on dead bodies which cuts their limbs,
and in some parts you need to cut their limbs so they dont become Aliens and attack you.
sure the game needed more cutscenes,
there is also something annoying in the game called Zero Gravity, it is the ability to jump in some places
because there is no gravity in them,
it is really annoying and boring and it makes the game LESS horror and more stupid.
/////Difficulty\\
the game was sorta difficult in the easy mode,
in normal mode it was really difficult starting chapter 4 because you run out of ammo,
health and the enemies increase,
hard mode was really impossible,and impossible mode was HELL.
/////Sounds\\
Dead Space had frustrating music, it wasn't impressive but it was a mental torture,
the music and the sounds are the most important things that make a horror game scary.
so the music was scary but not special, the voice acting was great BUT the main character doesn't
talk which is really annoying and it makes the game less atmospheric.
the Monsters voices were scary and awesome, it is one of the main things that makes the game scarier.
the sounds of the objects, doors, guns and footsteps were great,so the sounds of this game are awesome.
/////Graphics\\
The Graphics Were amazing.
the character design was good but the game didn't have any cutscenes at all except for the ending.
the level designs and landscapes were good but really similar to each others.
/////Keep Playing?\\
yes for only the first three chapters then it gets really boring trust me........ until chapter 9 it gets
awesome all over again.
so i would say it wont get you really exited.
/////Ending\\
the ending was really good, it was sorta sudden but it was amazing compared to the game,
so i really enjoyed the ending, it makes the game better.

/////Buy It?\\
No Its Not Something Enjoyable, You Will Enjoy The First Two Chapters And The Last Three,
It Was Boring Most of the Times and it had a Slow Plot.
The Main Character Can't Talk? What Kind Of Horror Game Is This,
It Didn't Fail At Scaring Me But It Was Extremely Boring Most of the Times.
But If You Wanna Play Dead Space 2 And That Looks Good We Recommend Playing The Original First.
But Of Course This Is Our Honest Opinion Some People Might Like It.
/////Conclusion\\
We Would Give The Game 6.5 Out Of 10, This Game Is Too Overrated,
It Doesn't Deserve The Score 9.0 Like Gamespot Gave It
