Dead Space is a Sci-Fi/third person shooter with great gameplay, intuitive controls, stunning graphics, awesome sound effects and an immersive story! What little time I've spent playing Dead Space (around 4 hours), it appears as though this game is nothing short of amazing! The enemies in Dead Space are tough and in order to be taken down, you must use what's known as "strategic dismemberment". This means that you must shoot your enemies limbs off before they will die. This adds an extra challenge to the game because "aiming for the head" really doesn't apply in this game. Another way to kill enemies is by using a melee feature that allows you to hit them with your weapon. Doing this gives you enough time to back enemies away if there are several in your immediate area. You can also finish off your foes by stomping on them while they're down. This assures that they are dead and is something you'll probably find yourself doing quite often while in combat. With that said, now it's time for a breakdown of several elements of the game.

Gameplay 9/10 - The only knock on the gameplay is the fact that at times during combat, you'll find yourself dealing with multiple enemies right in front of you. It's sometimes difficult to to handle and you may find yourself in a bit of trouble when you first encounter multiple enemies. However, this isn't really a big deal. With practice, you'll be able to take down several enemies with ease. I've already managed to get the hang of combat, and it's really not difficult to master. As for other aspects of the gameplay, it's all flawless. With the exception of some minor things, Dead Space's gameplay is something that you will want to experience.

Story 10/10 - The story in Dead Space is very immersive, and very well done. So far, each element of the plot is well developed. The dialogue of each character is written very well, and the voice acting was also done exceptionally well. When a game can do all of the aforementioned things well, as they're done in Dead Space, you can't get anything but a great storyline.

Controls 9.5/10 - Dead Space's controls aren't the easiest controls to learn, but with time, you will get the hang of them and come to realize that they are very good. Your character is incredibly easy to maneuver and the weapons are very easy to use thanks to the control layout. Overall, they aren't perfect, but are very good and aren't really difficult to master.

Graphics 9.5/10 - The visuals in Dead Space are amazing. If you have a 1080p television you'll see that they really are great. The character models are lifelike and the environments are highly detailed. While nothing that will make you say wow. Dead Space's graphics are still very good.

Sound 10/10 - The sound effects are nothing short of incredible! If you have surround sound, you will feel even more immersed in the game. Every single aspect of the sounds in this game are good and are one of the best parts of Dead Space.

Overall 9.5/10 Dead Space an excellent game with some incredible graphics, fun gameplay, a great story, as well as being very addicting. If you have not bought the game yet and were planning on it, once you do buy it and get home to play it, you will not be disappointed.
