hmm rail shooter, not hard at all, and not even remotely scary anymore. If i ever owned a Wii id be pretty dissapointed cause you are definitely not gettingthe true Dead Space experience. Im sure its a great game, but if you want to play the real thing get a PC,360,PS3.

Atmosphere CAN be imparted in a rail shooter. Rez and Panzer Dragoon Orta are rail shooters. As for it being scary, I never found the first Dead Space remotely scary unfortunately. Space stations should be colder and more sterile, more ghostlike if they're going to be scary. Dead Space's enemies and environments were too mutanty and Doom 3-esque to be scary in my opinion, and there was too much organic Prey-esque gooiness on some of the walls. I can't even describe how disappointed I was with the final boss, I don't want to give any spoilers, but here's a hint, you've fought it in almost every sci-fi game this generation and it rhymes with venacle nonster. That said, I enjoyed the weapons, the pace, the detail in the environments, and many of the gameplay mechanics. It was quality and should be played, but over-hyped in my opinion, a strictly mid-8s game.
Oh, and since the developers can control the pace of the game better, wouldn't it be easier to make an on-rails game scary than one where the player can completely blow the fear factor by backtracking at the wrong times, speeding through environments that are meant to be appreciated and otherwise missing cues and events.
