    This is amazing! When i first saw it i had my doubts, but it turned out to be a really fun action game on the Iphone and almost as good as the others on the console. Wearing headphones makes it super scary!!! Defiantly worth the money i paid.

    There is no doubt that Dead Space, compared to other games on bigger platforms like PC or PS3, is not much of an amazing game. On the other hand, to see a game so polished on an IOS is amazing. Most games on the app store are mediocre, but dead space shows that if you try hard, you can make a wonderful game. Truly amazing.

    I expected Dead Space to transition really badly to iPod touch, hence ruining my favourite game of all time. However, it is a surpisingly good app! The controls are simple and easy to get used to, and before you know it, you're romping through the game just as easily as you did on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC versions. Although it is an expensive app, it is worth the money.

    amazing game best on the app store personally i think the best bit is how it has no on screen buttons and combined with the great sound design make it really immersive and creepy 5/5

    When I heard dead space was on the tracks heading to iOS, I was more than excited to see how this would hold up, and the answer is well indeed, the graphics are very well displayed, over the shoulder view, in clear sight of the space port your about to be scared witless.

You begin by learning the basics as usual, and before long your blasting alien limbs left, right, and centre. It's a nice addition to the collection of dead space, and the sounds create the kind of wow you would expect, plug in your earphones, sit back, and enjoy. If their is one negative, more a niggle if any, the controls don't exactly feel the best, when your needing to move on the spot, and move around, but ts just good enough, to adapt, I did say it was a niggle. However all in all, considering the adaption to the touchscreen, it's a welcome title that all will enjoy.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was freaking, amazing. It totally immerses you into it's world. Not the best graphics for iphone (See Infinity Blade) but damned good. The gameplay itself was really REALLY good. They divide the screen into two halves for movement, allowing you to move great without worrying where your thumb ends up on the screen.

    My only issue, was that it was only like a 6 hour game, and it only had one major boss. Still, the soundtrack was great, the gameplay was great, and the graphics are a 9/10.    … Expand

    The game has all the combat of a dead space game (well, minus a few weapons and unit types), but it has almost none of the atmosphere. I give them credit for transferring much of the gameplay to a handheld device, which makes it an above average mobile game, but it's unfortunate that the vast, vast majority of the creatures your u will kill are during the "quarantine" sections.

    It's the same good as PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, but this game is very challenging on iPad. Shooting the deadly aliens with a simple touch. It was the best TPS game on iPad, certainty.

    Graphics: For IPAD 10.

    Sound: Creepy sounds, amazing voice acting. I thought the developers at first were being lazy with the main protagonist’s voice until the surprise ending, epic! 10.

    Sound: Creepy sounds, amazing voice acting. I thought the developers at first were being lazy with the main protagonist’s voice until the surprise ending, epic! 10.

    Gameplay: Never played such an amazing game on such a device that I once despised. Yes, I am a hater of Apple products, but no longer of the IPAD 3. Dead Space plays as good as the first Dead Space, only with nicely added motion/touch controls. I cannot find a fault in this game, other than it feels way too linear. 9.

    Story: The story and twist is fantastic, it doesn’t dive deep into anything else, and it’s just the surprised ending that gets you. It could have a better story in between the game, but it’s still okay. 9.

    Lasting Appeal: About a 4 hour experience on normal, felt longer for some reason though. There are additional modes such as a survival mode. The game was bought for 99 cents on a sale deal, worth it! 10.

    Overall Score: 9.6 out of 10.    … Expand

    Еще одна хорошая игра для мобильных устройств. Мечтами неоправданно много врагов, все превращается в тир. Сюжет проходной, но он есть!

    Dead Space 2 is the first must-play game of the year for consoles, and Dead Space is the first must-play app for the iPad, paving the way for what is sure to be an exciting year for tablet gaming.

    With amazing graphics, a sturdy control system and a story to die for, Dead Space is definitely a candidate for game of the year on the Apple iPad! Highly Recommended!

    A distinguished iOS release that manages to replicate almost all the features of the home consoles originals, both good and bad.
