An atmospheric horror survivor game with all the right triggers, pitty you can't press the trigger quick enough
User Rating: 8.5 | Dead Space X360
Without going into too much detail about the story, Dead Space borrowed a lot of elements from the classic horror/survivor movies, the twists and turns worked great in many instances but sometime is rather predictable, nevertheless, if you are fans of Alien series or The Thing etc. the game will give you a blast. The cleaver use of pop-up hologram instead of the HUD is an excellent example of how future game should be made. The pace of the game is deliberated and well-paced, and there's no shortage of scary moments or heart-stopping adrenaline pumping actions. The control is tight, but sometime is far from good, especially when you are jumped by enemies from behind or where the camera is lacking, this contribute to the difficulties of the game, where you constantly trying to aim but overwhelmed by the lack of effective aiming and often the shear number of enemies coming at you. A great game nevertheless... just make sure u play in a dark room... alone... :D
