Dead Space 'roxxered my soxxerz'. Its a great game when it all boils down. To begin with, the entire game on normal difficulty took me around 13-15 hours. As I'm sure you've read the main review I won't go into the small details of what the game is about or the story. Your mileage will vary depending on difficulty naturally and there are many bonuses to playing it through again as you are rewarded by the ability to keep all of your gear and upgrades, along with new story backlogs added...it gives you good incentive to try and ramp up the difficulty.

Gameplay wise, this title is excellent. From the many weapons you encounter with all the various upgrades you may choose to customize, to the satisfying 'feel' of stomping off an enemies limbs, production values are very high. Your movement is very natural (Your character seems to move at just the right speed, although you can run...and WILL at certain points of the game =), the aiming and shooting mechanics are very fun, and the whole 'noncluttered' interface that allows for nice tension and scares adds a LOT to the immersion factor.


The atmospheric tension, sound, and graphics are excellent. Often times you will end a particular fight, or just stop to stare at a particularly 'cool' scene outside the ship and think to yourself "Nice". If you're flavor of games tends to mirror that of Resident Evil 4 (and the upcoming 5)...you will enjoy this game very much. Not for the kiddes at all (Lots of gore and gruesome deaths...though all very nicely and viscerally done), but if you enjoy a good satisfying horror-shooter, you'd be a dorkus malorkus NOT to pick this up. =)
