My Oppinion:
DS 1 By far. It had the best pacing, by FAR the best story, and the bits and pieces you get of who you play as can be unsetteling to say the least. It alst excelled in pacing and atmosphere.
DS2 comes in second, they pretty much ruined Clarke within the first 4 minutes and overall the plot was a mess. It had less of atmosphere but you still felt isolated at times, I did NOT like the lame action sequences, and Die Hard blueprint in this world (see: all that which happens to Issac). However when everything was said and done, the game still kept most of its identity. Basily it was still a very good game. Although too much action.
DS3 is well... Where to start. THe overall production values are lower, it is not a major complaint from me, but both DS 1 and 2 looked and sounded better. Im still in orbit in DS3, but so far there is little in common with the first DS. and only vaguely the second. THis game feels more like a third person Doom, it is the best way to explain it, a ton of Necroes you (and maybe someone else) a backpack of ammo, and pretty much none stop holding in the trigger.
The strangest part is that even in SP DS3 feels and looks (always reminds you) that the game was supposed to be be playied at co-op. It is still a good game judging by the framework. But there is no thrills, no chills, and near none atmosphere. This is not even an action game in the world of Dead Space, this is an action game which compromises the world of Dead Space. (especially if you were interrested in the story of DS 1 or DS2).
Now that is all when compared to the other DS games, as I stated it is a competent game on its own, but I feel that this game would have had less of my negatives, if it was a spinoff, focusing solely on the crew of a militery ship investigating. And that ways had created the possability of still making a suspenceful game, and an action series in the same universe.
