I have to say, this is easily one of the best survival horror games I have ever played. Actually, its one of the best games I have ever played period. I am currently at Chapter 7, and I had to just take a step back to marvel at such an accomplishment. Kudos to EA for one of your few good games (ba dum tush). Though it does remind me heavily of Resident Evil 4 at times, and it can sometimes feel just a tad repetitive, it is still a game I can hardly stand putting down, and yet fear picking up. I wrote a full review, so you can check that out if you want.

Now, I have to admit that I decided to use the Obsidian suit. Many people say its cheating, but to me, I just had to. The inventory space, and the money required for upgrading your normal suit was something I was happy to pass on, but as a compromise, I turned away from all of the other cheat codes, for things like money and power nodes. Also, I plan to do a subsequent playthrough not using the Obsidian suit and going for the One Gun trophy. Great game, can't wait for Dead Space 2.

Plus its one of the easiest to get yahself a shiny platinum trophy too :D

But yeah, gr8 game non the less, not really as scary as the majority tryed to put across, but still has a very unerving atmosphere and still a few jump moments, but not quite the type of jumps that lead to a nasty accident :P

There's going to be a number two?? :o anyway I loved the game and it is not cheating for using a suit that was given to you for free, you use what you have. Its cheating when you buy the scorpion suit and use it to beat it on impossible mode are any other mode for that matter. but overall that game is a must get for anyway that wants a good scare here and there, and just to have so you can say you have.

I didn't really like the demo when I played it. I'm not much of a fan of 3rd person shooters or survival-horror games, so it didn't appeal to me at all. I will say though if it reduces in price, I'd consider giving it another look because of the cutting of limbs. Still, it's too scary for me, haha.

I'm glad to see you liked it. Dead Space is without a doubt an underrated and underplayed game as there are a lot of wussies who refuse to play it.

It's definetly on my top 5 best games of all time, I have only 3 trophies left before plat, but the game is just so fun I can play through over and over and never get bored. Hopefully Dead Space 2 will be epic.

I agree, its much better than RE 4 and I doubt RE5 will be able to match its excellence.

I made the right decision of getting this game! it's one of the best of 2008. i actually doubted it at first coz i didn't like space themes (except for StarWars) and aliens... glad i got it! damn alien monsters, especially those who gets behind your back!

Well even if you use cheat codes there's only so far that cheat can take you so it wouldn't really matter. Plus you can only enter the codes a certain amount of times per save. And yes it is as good as you say. Definitely compliments my collection as far as horror games go :D

One of the best game this Gen for sure... I think it's the best new franchise... maybe beside Gears of Wars...

What other new franchise from this generation is better than Dead Space? ...?

Great game. I also liked Dark Sector too. Both under-appreciated games.

they took what re4 did and made it better. strafe, shoot while you move, and a more creepy atmosphere. dead space and bioshock were my 2 fav. games last generation.

deadspace is a good game. i'm replaying it right now and i'm in chapter 8. i love the environment and the atmosphere. storage, menu system and controls work really well. the game does get a little repetitive at times. i also didn't like how izac covered half the left side of the screen. before anyone plays deadspace.. i recommend watching the deadspace comic on youtube. i forget the title, but it's out there.

I think Dead Space is slowly reviving the survival-horror genre. It's been going downhill ever since RE4.
