A welcome surprise

User Rating: 10 | Dead Space X360
Never been a fan of survival horror after trying resident evil and silent hill on the ps2 i gave up on the genre till Dead space.

It has a bit more third person shooter in it than survival but does both sides very well i hated the demo but the full game intro explains the interface and controls ALOT better and lets you ease into the game a little better.

The weapons are great fun and a good variety of them there is i found the ripper saw to be the most fun but the basic cutter seems to be both the most simple and effective weapon to use. The assault rifle become pretty fierce after you invest some upgrades into it but really does cew through ammunition.

The thing i loved most was the interface/inventory/map system i have never seen anything so innovative and smooth in a game in a long time it really is just awsome to see this holographic system spawn infront of your char and watch him look at what you selecting but that could just be the geek in me lol.

Gameplay was great fun and the story was very well done with good V/O acting all round but my only fault in this game was no V/O on player char which i really think there is no reason not to have since it is pretty much standard in todays video games even RPGS with countless lines of dialogue and variations of it have player char voice over a game like dead space could have done a few for the amount of time the NPCs spend talking to you.
