May 15, 2020All the ideas which make this up are good. The thing is it didn't click that well for me, as I am not a big fan of shooters. I prefer the horror games where you are unarmed. It got kind of monotonous.

Dec 8, 2020As soon as I started playing a game breaking bug occured which stopped me from continuing the story after you I the first pistol. This bug had the worst fix in the history which made me quit the game and uninstall:you needed to have the VSync turned on and not SHOOT the door, but to meele it.I highly encourage everyone to draw the curtains to this **** but not gold game.

Jul 5, 2021The story is good. also gameplay is good. but in 3 last chapter, there was some bad bugs that player cant aim and move or move and rotate at the same time. also some music bugs that instantly an audio stop playing while in boss fight or other fights. after all, I like story and gameplay but ost and music, not much. also with some bugs, I cant give higher score.

MarkJ.Oct 24, 2008I tend to look at third-person shooter games as a sort of secondary market to the more common first person shooter genre; however Dead Space surprised me. When I was expecting a Hitman: Contracts nostalgia trip, I received a story worthy of publication - and deservedly so with its 7.4GB of size.

JackB.Oct 29, 2008I love it, Its a fantastic game for the PC, survuval horror at its best. Some parts get a little 'Ah i saw that coming' but otherwise it has been a great game so far. I am at mission 06 and its great fun nice and scary and the story is really fun. If you get the chance watch Dead space Downfall DVD and it gives you some backstory to the game. Overall 8/10

ArshadSDec 11, 2009Scary at first since you will learn what to expect later on during the game. The game is way too short. Would be worth buying it on budget.

NathMay 14, 2009Great game, but the controls are terrible without a pad. Really wanna give it a 9, but it lacks that certain something which i cannot quite place.

ElginM.Dec 21, 2008Good: immersive environment, tactical combat (versus mindless blasting), diverse array of enemies Bad: you feel like an intern (Isaac, fix this...Isaac, bring that schematic to me), dreary and cramped environment the entire time, startling rather than scary.

Jun 30, 2014This is a very good action packed game and quite scary at times. Great story, scary monsters, decent weapons, etc. However the controls weren't the best (console port) and the FOV sucked. Before playing the game, be sure to hack the FOV so it's not as nauseating.

Jun 26, 2019Still one of the best survival horror action games ever made. Only Resident Evil 4 can really beat it.
In 2019 looses none of it's creepy and intense atmosphere. As others have said the sound design is outstanding all round but the graphics also still hold up IMO when all options are set to high. Plays well with keyboard and mouse too. An essential game for any horror fan. -

Mar 4, 2014I can understand that the purpose of the 3rd person view is to make the game scarier. But to me it's a bad design decision because it badly affects the controls / vision and spoiles my whole experience of the game. That would be my number one problem with the game. Monsters are really scary and creepy. If you like scare jumps games you might like this one.

This is a highly recommended game for science fiction and survival horror fans, with its claustrophobic atmosphere and horrible creatures.
-
Overall, Dead Space is an extraordinary game with tons of shock value and action to whet any fan's appetite for some time, and with a campaign that lasts a steady 10-12 hours, that’s plenty of time to get lost aboard the Ishimura.

PC Zone UKDead Space is a potentially great game that's hamstrung by an attempt to completely ape a console controller with a mouse and keyboard. [Dec 2008, p.58]
