Just wondering because I'm thinking about picking it up but not if I can finish it in a week and then never have any reason to play it again.

Thanks.

Only if you want the trophies; otherwise beat it and let it collect dust until you want a good fright again, then play it on impossible.

wouldn't know. I haven't finished it yet. However judging by how awesome I think it is, I'll probably play it again.

Well worth 2-3 playthroughs. And much like RE4, it's nice having it on your shelf in case we go through a drought anytime soon.

Totally agree playing through for the 2nd time now, it's a great game and deserves to be played more than once.

it looks to be a VERY linear game, where you just follow a map. Although it looks really great, i cant believe how many people have bought this game.. looks to have very little replay.

Sounds like an epic rental though

Why's it so hard to believe? Great games from the genre are few and far between.

You're throwing around an opinion on a game you've yet to play. Big surprise.

"it looks to be" "Although it looks really great" "looks to have very little replay"

Looks can be decieving...

well every review ive seen says its an extremely linear game,, not neccesarily a bad thing. Im just helping the TC out, some of you people seem to buy a game every other week,, whereas some people like me (and TC) are very picky in what we get, and want to get our moneys worth. I think Dead Space would be a great rental as without any multiplayer, and a very linear design (meaning the 1st 2nd and 3rd playthroughs will be the same),, youre not gonna get your $60 worth, for people like me that like to get A LOT of replay value out of purchases.

I bet you've gotten like 5 games since september,, not everybody does

I am on my first play through. Chapter 8 to be exact. And I'm sure I'm going to play it at least twice if not more.

I have to upgrade all the tools/equipments to max. level just to see the effects on the monsters. If you are a fan of the genre it is a must buy.

Since September I've gotten:

GTA4,

MGS4

Uncharted

RFOM

COD4

Warhawk

Fallout 3

LBP

Ninja Gaiden

AC

Condemned 2

Dead Space

Still on the roster for me to pick up is BioShock, Spider-Man Web of Shadows, and Spyro. Buying alot of games says nothing about a person's opinion or judgement on games. Every game I've purchased has gotten atleast an 8.5 on almost every review; which makes me a picky buyer. Just because someone buys alot of games, doesn't mean they're not picky and it sure as hell doesn't mean they don't know a quality game when they see it.

I have kids and money is not somthing I have a lot of either. Also Dead Space was going to be a rental, but my wife accidently got me this instead of Far Cry 2, so I thought I would give it a quick go and then send it back to the shops. But I did'nt and on the 2nd go and it is like a whole different game playing on a harder setting. this has replay value as the background story alone(as shown through video,audio and text logs which can be found scattered around the game) then you have to upgrade weapons and suit. This game has at least three replays in it at least.

The game looks wicked, I may wait and buy it used on ebay because games like these I usually play twice at most and then Im done with them.

Might buy RB2 and LBP in the meantime.

I am on my thrid playthrough and it is still fun to me just like RE4. I will probably play through it 2 more times to get all the weapons upgraded and then play it on the hardest difficulty and then set it aside for a while. But for me it has a ton of replayability.

The games fun, no doubt. It must just be me, but I'm on Chapter 4 (maybe too early to judge), but I can't get involved in the storyline. I feel like I'm just trying to beat the game, because I paid for it. The game definitely has some thrills and chills, but at this stage in the game, I'm not deeply involved in the story like I was for RE4. The game has some definite perks to it and is great if you like these type of games. As for replay value, yes there's replay value for sure. I personally won't play through it again, but I haven't even gotten around to play Uncharted again, so I am pretty sad on that note.

If you a trophy hunter then yes. If you like to max out all weapons and armor then yes. This game is addictive and fun. I am almost done with the first playthrough but I just rented it. I wish I would have bought it because I would like to play it on the harder settings and upgrade all my equipment. These guns in the game are all fun to play with and wanna make them as beefy as they can get. I wish I would of bought it but I already have to much on my plate now and coming.

Yup. I'm going to agree with most of the board here and tell you that it has little replay value other than collecting all the trophies. You can easily beat it in a week, and are probably best off if you try it as a rental. But the key word there is rental. Do yourself a favor and at least rent it. It's a great game and worth the $5 it takes to rent it.
