nothing groundbreaking just an awesome experience
User Rating: 9 | Dead Space X360
dead space was amazing. I played through in medium and even though it plays like most fps games, when you combine it with the music, great story, ambient sound, timing, strategic dismemberment and a few interesting battles it combines for a great experience. One of the most fun mechanics of this game is the ability to do strategic dismembering of an enemy, this tactic can often, in seconds, change the tide of a battle. The EA team has taken an old idea and added a few tweaks, such as bosses that grab you out of no where and force you to attempt to shoot them while dangling or being dragged down a hallway or being stuck in a room with 5 baddies, limited ammo but the ability to take them down with a few shots. This game forces you to stay cool when things get hectic as enemies don't go down easily by just shooting blindly in there frame. but even with all this good there are still a few cons. first of all there's no kind of live play, yes i know the argument and how would that work, but still for a player like myself it matters a lot towards replay value, i mean how many times really could you play through the same game and not have it ruin the experience, even with the achievements on xbox. the second is the scarcity and huge amount of nodes it takes to upgrade youre ablilities and equipment. it would take endless amounts of replays to complete it all. other than these few little nitpicking things this game was awesome and a great experience all gamers definitely owe it to themselves to at least rent it just to check it out, not to expect anything groundbreaking just a quality game thats worth the 10 bucks.
