    Игра очень хорошая, но Айзека как будто прокляли, везде какие-то ловушки и все время нужно что то включать, со временем игра становится предсказуемой, но тем не менее игра мне очень понравилась, буду работать над прохождением 2 и 3 части.

    Great game. Not very scary, it just relies on jumpscares all the time and after a while you start expecting them and they don't scare you anymore.

    Dead Space was a near perfect gaming experience on the PC. I liked the environment, story, playable character, the truly disgusting enemy types and most of all the splatter fest combat. All possible with a array of fun and lethal upgradeable weaponry. Not outright scary, but very spooky, weird, freaky and creepy full of tense brooding atmosphere.

Dead Space really nailed down that sense of being, trapped, isolated and hunted on the edge of distant space beyond all hope and reason.… Expand

    "Игроки в Outlast и похожые игры: пук-среньк не увибай страшна
    Игроки в Dead Space: ТЫ ЩАС ПИЗДЫ ПОЛУЧИШЬ ЗА ТО ЧТО Я ОБОСРАЛСЯ"

    Атмосфера заїбись. Йдеш і очікуєш засади із любого вент люка. Першу половину гри проходиш на одному подиху. Далі вже не настільки весело: на початку тобі не хватає місця в інвентарі через перший рівень костюму, а після половини гри у тебе місце є, а обойми швидко закінчуються, так як моби починають брати кількістю, а босси затяжними битвами. (Ніщо не зрівняється із тим коли ти ВИПАДКОВО пішов на перший босс файт із: плазмовим різаком із 6 зарядами, широким плазмовим різаком, який помалу стріляє і має 5 зарядів, вогнеметом, яким треба в притул до дальнобійного босса йти, і метачем циркулярних пил, снаряди якої навіть не долітають до босса — вот веселощі). Ну і бувають моменти, коли навіть на середньому рівні складності у тебе горить жопа через затянутість завдання (та ж турель на метеорити і октопуса, чи босс в Гідроніці), легендарні завдання із категорії "Айзек піди відремонтуй, піди убий, врятуй нас, розберись з" і передбачуваний сюжет із галюцинаціями (хотя поворот сюжета із членами екіпажу я не очікував). Загалом на оцінку негативно вплинули геймплейні моменти. А так, "Айзек зроби нас єдиним". Піду попробую другу частину, поки підпкиска EA Access за 1 бакс не пропала.    … Expand

    The main point is the setting and ambiance, space... on a desolated ship that is infested with monsters. The sound and environments are spooky and the game makes you feel unease and that there's something waiting for you in the next corner.
    The gameplay is inspired by resident evil 4, but with a crucial factor which is the dismember system, this was a great deal for the game's physics and to kill the enemies.
    Visually the game still holding great in 2019, specially it's lighting and shadows in real time.
    Off course the problem with the game is that the further you progress into the game, nearly to the ending you have a lot of ammo and have upgraded most of your weapons, so basically now you are overpowered and necromorphs are no threat at all.
    But, it is a really scary title that is worth trying if you want to be scared.    … Expand

    Only complaint is with the PC version which introduces game breaking bugs.

Dead space takes time to establish it's story, the progression paced nicely, there is always something you need to achieve and you understand why and this blend makes for a really immersive game. You feel for Isac and care about the story because it feels real when playing it. There is always a clever twist and something unexpected happening.

    Çıkışından 13 yıl sonra bile hala oynanabilen pek az shooter oyunu vardır. Dead Space de onlardan birisi. Hatta yakında Resident Evil 2 gibi bir remake'i çıkacakmış. Zaten tarz olarak da benzerler. Kapalı mekanlar, hantal oynanış, düşmana isabet ettirmenin zor olması, cephanenin görece kısıtlı olması, envanteri yönetmenin zorluğu, iyi tasarlanmış düşmanlar ve bosslar benzerliklerin bazıları. Onda hoşuma giden ne varsa bunda da vardı. Açık dünya oyunlarından bıkamaya başladığım bu dönemde ilaç gibi geldi.

    Normalde combatı keyifli olan oyunlarda, görevde bir aksilik çıksa da biraz düşman öldürsem dersiniz. Ancak bunda tam tersi, karşınıza düşman çıksın istemiyorsunuz. Akrep gibi kuyruğuyla sokan veya üç tane uzun kolundan bir şeyler fırlatanlar ekstra sinir bozucuydu. Silah çeşitliliği bu tarz bir oyuna göre yerindeydi. Benim favorim testere fırlatandı. Ancak silah geliştirmeleri bana biraz dandik geldi. Silahları geliştirmek için gerekli materyal çok az bulunuyor, geliştirirken de bazen boşa harcıyorsunuz.

    Boss savaşları klasik zayıf noktasına vurma üzerine ama tasarım olarak korkutucu. Düşmanlar bir süre sonra kendilerini tekrar ediyor gibi görünse de içinde bulunduğunuz durumun değişmesi farklılık katıyor. Bazen oksijensiz ortam, bazen de yer çekimsiz ortam savaşın gerilimini artırıyor.

    Düşmanın zayıf bölgesine vurma zorunluluğunun verdiği gerilim oyunun en önemli özelliği. Bu unsur olmasa oyun çok daha sıradan olurdu. Sıka sıka giderdiniz. Ancak o hantal kontrolle küçücük bölgelere isabet ettirmeye çalışmak insanı geriyor.

    DEAD SPACE is the real SYSTEM SHOCK 3. Forget BIOSHOCK, they're just overrated pi$$ poor amateur attempts at being a successor to SYSTEM SHOCK, DEAD SPACE however delivers. And yes, DEAD SPACE 1 is better than DEAD SPACE 2.
    DEAD SPACE emphasizes sci-fi horror coupled with action, while its sequels increasingly prioritize action.

    DEAD SPACE emphasizes sci-fi horror coupled with action, while its sequels increasingly prioritize action.
    Most of the time you are alone, stalking dim corridors, while piecing together what happened by text and audio logs. There's tons of necromorphs (hostile alien race and main "monsters" to kill in DEAD SPACE) to mutilate along the way - no headshots here, to effectively kill the necromorphs you need to shoot off their limbs.
    Isaac, the player character spends most of the time in his space suit, which displays his health - the game has no HUD! His weapon arsenal mostly consists of multi purpose tools that a mechanic/engineer (Isaac's profession) would have and the "ammo" count is displayed on the weapon itself. This is just brilliant.
    What I did NOT like is the controls: it was designed with consoles in mind and the mouse lags. This is really bad in some timed areas where you need to navigate zero gravity areas while running out of oxygen. This is why DEAD SPACE is not a 10/10 for me.    … Expand

    Podría generalizar en que todo el juego es mediocre, pero no sería justo ya que tiene cosas muy buenas y cosas muy malas que hacen que lo bueno luzca menos.
    Empezando por lo malo tengo que decir que los controles en pc son lo peor que he visto en un juego actual (aunque el juego es de 2008, hay títulos anteriores que dan buena cuenta de ello), los gráficos no son nada del otro mundo (    Podría generalizar en que todo el juego es mediocre, pero no sería justo ya que tiene cosas muy buenas y cosas muy malas que hacen que lo bueno luzca menos.
    Empezando por lo malo tengo que decir que los controles en pc son lo peor que he visto en un juego actual (aunque el juego es de 2008, hay títulos anteriores que dan buena cuenta de ello), los gráficos no son nada del otro mundo ( aquí también hay que tener en cuenta que aunque sea un juego de 2008, hay cosas que se podían haber echo mucho mejor), y por ultimo y para concluir lo malo que tiene este título, es que peca de ser demasiado action game por momentos. Esto no es malo si el título es un juego de acción y no un survival horror (véase DOOM), pero no puedes crear una atmosfera opresiva (que dead space hace esto a las mil maravillas), y dar al jugador INFINITOS recursos a lo largo del juego, es muy difícil hacer que el juego no sea injusto y que a la vez te prive de ir tirando balas por el camino, pero de ahí a literalmente tener que descartar munición por que no cabe más...
    Aunque la parte negativa, en mi opinión, opaca demasiado a la buena, es cierto que este juego lleva a cabo diferentes acciones a la maravilla, la atmosfera oscura y claustrofóbica es simplemente deliciosa para el público que busca en dead space la sensación de agobio propias del survival horror; el juego es DIVERTIDO, algo fundamental, y la historia es probablemente la mejor que he jugado en un survival horror fuera de los titanes del género como pueden ser RE y Silent Hill.
    Si la jugabilidad fuera mejor mi nota subiría hasta el 8, ya que no es así y como me parece un gran trabajo a pesar de los errores, si buscas un juego divertido y que sea capaz de hacerte pegar grititos de niña taiwanesa cuando ve a mike tyson, te recomiendo este juego!    … Expand

    The 2 reviewers below me do not know what they're talking about. This game raises the bar for the survival horror genre.

    Pros: - Graphics are amazing. - Large variety of weapons, each one is unique, and has its own special use in certain situations and against certain enemies. - The survival horror theme is implemented in a very effective way. - Story is interesting, and    The 2 reviewers below me do not know what they're talking about.

    - Story is interesting, and draws you in as you learn more about the alien life.

    - Very interesting perks that you can obtain, which are stasis and kinesis. Stasis allows you to slow down motion to a crawl and kinesis lets you throw/move objects. They are implemented in a way that does not make the game broken.

    - The game makes you take out the limbs of the enemies, which makes the whole shooting experience more challenging and tactical.

    - Music is amazing. Combining loud and quiet orchestral instruments during the right situations puts you at the edge of your seat throughout the game.

    - There are parts of the game where you navigate the area in zero gravity, its pretty neat.

    Cons:

    - Nothing that comes to mind, really...

    The clanky noises of your boot heels on the hull of the ship, the distant revving of malfunctioning engines, the primal shrieking of devilish creatures echoing throughout the ship, the dissonant shrills of stringed instruments: the sound design of Dead Space is one of the greatest strengths of the experience, greatly enhancing the immersion and atmosphere. Immersion and atmosphere are theThe clanky noises of your boot heels on the hull of the ship, the distant revving of malfunctioning engines, the primal shrieking of devilish creatures echoing throughout the ship, the dissonant shrills of stringed instruments: the sound design of Dead Space is one of the greatest strengths of the experience, greatly enhancing the immersion and atmosphere. Immersion and atmosphere are the main selling points of the whole game, really, whereas other aspects may be suffering and lacking.
    For example, the story of Dead Space is nothing impressive, really, with a pretty linear plot that doesn't get creative in any significant way, a fair amount of clichés and plot-twists that do nothing other than shock-value. And yet, this boring script is given so much life and soul thanks to the presentation: the claustrophobic narrow hallways of the ship, the aforementioned stellar sound design, the diegetic menus perfectly contextualized within the game keeping you immersed in the setting, or the dark rooms immersed in shadows with only some strobing faint lights hanging from the ceiling. All these tiny details compose an atmospheric symphony that truly captivates the player and drives them onward, making issues such as the pretty basic level design less noticeable.
    But still, Dead Space is far from being all style and no substance, and the Combat is actually quite addicting: hitting enemies in the head or the torso is extremely ineffective, since their main weakness is their limbs. This adds an exciting layer of tension to battles, since simply shooting your way onward is not possible (or at least not the fastest and safest option): the player needs to carefully target the enemy's limbs, and those are not always easy to shoot, as some enemies might require you to wait for a good chance or to take them on from behind. Furthermore, the good variety of enemies, aside from keeping the player alert, makes late-game battles a real treat as you have to take on many different types of foes, remembering their strength and weaknesses to find the optimal strategy to face them, using the many different weapons that the game offers you, carefully managing your resources. That's right: ammo is limited and quite scarce, so the player is almost constantly kept in a state of anxiety, fearing they might not have enough ammo to take on the next room, in a deliciously unnerving journey. Speaking of ammo and weapons: as I said, the game offers many different weapons to use in your fight against the creatures, but it's really disappointing how little difference it makes in battle which weapon you're using. So many weapons, and yet they all feel samey, or the differences are so minimal that they don't feel worthy of the resouces needed to upgrade them. There are only 2 weapons that feel significantly different from the base one, but the number of situations in the game where you'll actually feel like you should use them instead of the base one can be counted on one hand.
    And yet, Combat has an even bigger flaw, which is that everything nice that I said up to this point only really applies to Hard Mode: Normal Mode is just too easy, annoyingly so. The player takes too little damage and enemies go down way too easily, leaving you with so much ammo that you literally don't know what to do with it, killing almost all sense of tension and anxiety, leaving only atmosphere to do the job. A huge letdown in every mode are the Bosses, the only real stain in this otherwise really solid Enemy Roster. With the exception of the decent final boss, they are mostly glorified puzzles.
    Anyhow, Gameplay has also a pretty surprising good variety. Without doing any spoiler, just know that sometimes you'll be doing something other than shooting at monsters: these sections offer a really nice change of pace or a pretty unexpected breather, making the whole experience feel a bit more heterogeneous.
    The Level Design is decent, it does exactly what it needs to do, without any exceptionally creative or fun situation, 90% of the fun in this experience is due to the Combat and the atmosphere.
    When the level design isn't just decent, though, it can get actually bad, specifically in the "Zero-Gravity" sections, where we are greeted with awkward controls and often unfair enemy placements.
    Or, in other words: Dead Space is an excellent horror in the sense that it traps you in a dying spaceship, in its creepy claustrophobic hallways, truly making you feel the psychological weight of the situation thanks to the impeccable atmosphere crafted, even if the story miserably fails at giving this great atmosphere an interesting context. The core of the Gameplay, the Combat, is extremely solid and fun, but suffers from a lot of useless and pointless weapons and an excessively low difficulty, truly shining only on the harder modes, while other disappointing aspects, like the basic (sometimes straight-up bad) level design cannot be saved by changing difficulty setting.    … Expand

    And i got a blast playing this game, i didn't give this game 10/10 only because of the story (which is more about the objective) and some section in the game, namely the zero-g, boss fight (big bosses i mean, that expand a whole room) and that damn turret section

    Aside from that, the game is goddamn art, and one of the game i replay the most .

    Starting with the HUD which is, to this day, is revolutionary. instead like most other game where the HUD just slapped in the screen, dead space implement HUD on the game element itself (ammo count on the gun itself, health bar on the back of isaac, inventory UI is projected like hologram), which help you immerse into the game world and boy oh boy, when you got immerse, the scare factor is payoff really well

    Horror in this game is done well, not some cheap jumpscare although there are few jumpscare in this game, the implementation is well executed.
    From the environment that tell you something terrible and wrong happen to this place, audio logs, and the sound design *chef kiss*, creates a uneasy and tension feeling as you play the game,
    The horror not only come from the environmental and sound design, but also from the gameplay aspect;
    ammo can be scarce and you need to be creative in killing your enemies to conserve ammo, when you go to a shop or upgrade station, the game doesn't pause it create a sense of unease and urgency, and often time, you have to fight in the dark where your flashlight only turn on when you aim with your weapon, which limit your movement

    Gun in this game feels satisfying, when you miss your shot and hear that gunshot not hitting the flesh of your enemy (once again, chef kiss sound design) it can be panic inducing and make you lose your **** but when it does hit, the sound is rewarding to listening ears and give you that courage to engage more with the absolutely horrifying enemy.
    Speaking of the enemy, the enemy has alot of variety from all shape and sizes, with many different way to **** you up. The design is also great, and their sound is just **chef kiss**, very horror.

    Level design is intricate and interconnected from place to place, and often time, you back track to someplace you already been, sometimes with surprises because kids like surprises.
    This level design supported by 3D Map that you can access via your Inventory HUD, but this feature often overshadow by the marker / GPS feature (idk how to call it) that show you a projected line in the game world that show the optimal route to finish your objective, i think it would way more fun to rely on the 3D Map and figure out the way yourself.

    The only negative in this game are the story, its good don't get me wrong, but isaac just do errand mostly (get the power on, engine on, etc), and i guess, well, isaac is an engineer after all.
    Also how the game teaches you certain mechanic, especially about how to kill the enemy more efficiently is like your mother yelling at you 24/7, character in the game explained it, audio logs also explain it, and the environmental design tell you too. You don't have to tell me thrice (that is how many i could count)
    And some section like the turret one, feel less like a horror and more like action, but the section isn't last that long and there's only 2 of them, but i still feel like that section is little out of place from the horror atmosphere.
    Zero-G section is also kinda disorienting, although this is fixed in the sequel, DS 2 and 3.
    Although dead space isn't necessarily horror 100%, because it implement some action game element into the game (such as quick health regen with specific key), i think the strongest aspect in dead space is dread, suspension, and tension.

    The negativity doesn't ruin the experience tho, its just my opinion and that negative aspect i mention doesn't ruin the experience at all, it just not my thing.

    In conclusion / TLDR:
    Play this game, its on my Top 5, masterclass audio / sound design, great gunplay and gameplay, environmental storytelling is very well done, every aspect in the game is well thought and implemented flawlessly with minor thing that bug me (variety of objective and some section that i already explain above)

    my suggestion is put some headphone to get the maximum dread experience

    Survival Horror, der seinen Namen definitiv verdient hat. Der Terror ist, während man durch das Raumschiff läuft, Gegner bekämpft und Aufgaben erledigt, garantiert. Auch die Storyline ist für das Genre wirklich stark. Das Gameplay ist jedoch an einigen Stellen etwas träge, während einige Aufgaben etwas repetitiv erscheinen. Dennoch eines der besten Spiele des Genres (8/10).

    Great game. Cool aesthetic, cool armor, cool weapons. Overall package is a very competent game that I would strongly recommend to most.

    I think it still looks and feels pretty good even today. Not one technical problem or crash. Supports ultrawide and higher framerates as well (played at 3440x1440 at 100hz).

    The interface, located right in the game, gives a sense of presence. Health indicators are directly on the suit, and the navigation menu opens in the form of a hologram from a handheld computer.
    The combat system with cutting off the enemy's limbs is quite original. You can do this with the help of different types of weapons, each of which has two types of attack: standard and alternative. It can also be upgraded, just like your own suit.
    The game has many different and original enemies with their own characteristics and tactics. Almost everyone should have their own approach.
    The game has a strong and very interesting plot with unexpected twists. The story keeps you in suspense until the very end.
    Dead Space is a first-rate video game horror, that definitely deserves attention.    … Expand

I also want to mention necromorphs, which will be numerous throughout the game. Some are fast , bouncy, others are strong, and there are still those that, when neutralized, drop larvae that swarm trying to send the main character to the next world.
    I also want to note and, he's pretty good, the necromorphs are trying to get you wherever you are through ventilation or some other way.

    The weapon in this game plays the role of protecting the main character from his opponents, it is unusually executed here, especially I remember: a plasma cutter, a contact beam, a disk ripper. Some operate at short distances, some at long distances, and others have a larger coverage area than others, you can also prescribe a two to a necromorph and trample it into the floor with your foot.

    Pumping is done quite normally here, but there is one detail, to get a Power Node you will have to sweat a little , the modules are not so easy to get because of what they become valuable .

    I also want to mention physics, it's pretty good, especially for a long time, almost all objects have it, like necromorphs' limbs, boxes and so on.

    Throughout the entire passage , the game keeps the player in suspense , which is also pleasing , and especially when a giant tentacle grabs you and you have to shoot back from it .

    The atmosphere here is on a level, it feels like you are in the future, somewhere far away in space on the station.

    Also , the gameplay is complemented by the Stasis Module , Kinesis Module and the moments where gravity disappears , the Stasis Module allows you to partially stop an object or an enemy for a while . By the way, it was with the help of this module that I was able to defeat the mini boss at the end of the game.

    These were aspects that I liked , and now
    I will say that I didn't really like it :

    The physics of the main character's behavior is very slow , I understand that the main character can't run very fast , but in my opinion it could be done a little faster. Interaction with objects is also not very well implemented , but tolerable , as for objects in boxes on the floor : it was annoying that it was impossible to quickly pick up an object from the box, if you were standing to the left or right of the box , you have to stand right in front of the box and only then you will be able to pick up an object, and especially it was infuriating then when a necromorph is chasing you , and you try to open it along the way and wait for it to open , and when right in front of him , hoping to get an object , you are thrown back by a necromorph ( .

    The plot, in principle, is not so bad, but it did not go to me, because the plot turns are readable and you can predict what will happen next (in my opinion)

    Summing up, I want to say that I liked the game, it's one of those games after which I had the worst impressions . I think this game will be remembered for a long time .

    Total:
    8/10
    (minus 2 points for the plot and the physics of the main character's behavior)    … Expand

    Great Horror
    Great Guns
    Great Story
    But really bad Computer Port. (had to use a mouse and Vsync fix from nexusmods because if you have over 60fps it wont let you go through the first door and the mouse was broken for me)

    Go ahead and read the comic and watch the movies.

    BEFORE WE BEGIN:
    The game has been played on Xbox 360 and completed in every mode it offers, eventually achieving platinum trophy.

    QUARANTINE PROTOCOL ACTIVATED:
    The game starts by introducing, thanks to a cutscene, the game world setting. Immediately the player finds himself on the giant planet cracker USG Ishimura, a large spaceship used to dig into unknown planets' ground. Apparently no life forms are visible on the ship; this leads shortly thereafter to the player's discovery of the game's main encounter, the Necromorphs, deformed and repulsive creatures that would appear to be generated from the corpses of the former inhabitants of this ship. From there on, the adventure will be divided between uncovering the mystery of these absurd entities and managing to escape this spaceship safely.

    DISMEMBERING NECROMORPHS:
    The gameplay of the first Dead Space is that of a true Horror action, and I place the word horror first intentionally, since the focus of the game is on the horror part, as opposed to the third chapter of the trilogy; the gloomy atmosphere of the environment, the noises and cries produced by the Necromorphs rumbling through the hollowness of the spaceship, the rivers of blood flowing through the floors and those horrific scenes of death that Isaac will unfortunately have to endure in the adventure make the definition of the game genre clear. Right from the start, the player is launched in a chasing sequence, running from these monstrosities and then trying to find a way to succeed in counter attacking them, using various weapons unlockable as the game progresses through collectible schemes. The variety of weapons is quite decent for a game of this genre, and gives a lot of freedom to different styles of play. The game difficulty is neither too exaggerated to make it too horror, nor too easy to make it pure action. There are some environmental puzzles present, but they are quite simple and intuitive enough to become a feature of the game; there are also some rather interesting zero-gravity sections for a 2008 game.

    HOME IS FAR:
    Graphically Dead Space is a gem of the horror genre. This setting in space turns out to be one of the most beautiful seen so far, as well as one of the most inspired. The use of lights and shadows, Necromorphs passing through walls, dislodging cables and walls, and the proper use of color gradations make the game extremely immersive and scary. Let us be clear, this is not a horror game dedicated to jumpscare as it relies heavily on atmosphere, as already pointed out. The aesthetics of the various enemies and corpses also make it more gore and not very reassuring. Finally, there are a lot of death animations present; almost anything in the game that can kill you will delight the player with customized and very distinctive death scenes at times.

    HEARING NOISES:
    Dead Space excels here as well, using sound to add the excitement that the visual side cannot; the fear of approaching footsteps or behind a door, the frightening noises heard in the background, and even the frightening silence of the void give an essential addition to the final composition. The very accuracy of the resonant audio in space is also excellent. Little gem is the use of a very apt song in the game intro and trailer.

    Achievements:
    The achievements point turns out to be rather simple in this chapter of the trilogy, complete the game on normal difficulty, then do it in hardcore (with saves fortunately) and only with the gun. At least personally I found it extremely fun as an achievement. If this is frustrating for you, avoid thinking of getting the platinum trophy for the two sequels, because those will turn out to be hell on earth.

    BUT WHY 8?

    PROS:
    The game boasts numerous merits that defined a branch of the horror genre and in some ways are unmatched to this day; the sublime aesthetics combined with excellent level and audio design creates a near perfect symbiosis. The game is also really long for the genre and provides many diverse hours of gameplay.

    CONS:
    A couple of cons of the game are certainly the absence of special modes besides mere difficulty differences, something added later in the sequels, rightly so. Also, the clunkiness of the game's movements could be a small problem, which, however, is justifiable being the first title. Finally, the extreme difficulty in upgrading the various weapons, several playthroughs being required to complete them, leads to fatigue for those who want to upgrade them all.

    TL;DR: You're an engineer in a spaceship who has to dismember crewmates-turned-murderous-horde. One of my all time favorite games.

One of my all time favorite games.

    Dead Space puts you in the role of Isaac Clarke, an engineer as part of a small crew heading out into deep space to help repair a mining vessel who sent out a distress call. The game takes the survival-horror genre and flips it on its head...or, more specifically, off its head. Like a typical zombie survival horror, the members of the spaceship which you're there to repair have all been transformed by some unknown force into horrible mutated facsimiles of life. The twist here, however, is twofold:
    1. You don't play as some combat-hardened soldier or a police officer or other witty, battle-ready bloke. You play as an engineer. Your department is brains, not brawn. The feeling of despair you get of being out of your depth, of resolve in using your brains to survive, and of sheer relief and exhausted elation when you eventually reach the end of your journey are that much more palpable because any one of us would be just as unprepared and just as lucky to make it through this nightmare as our silent protagonist.
    2. Instead of shooting enemies in the head for massive damage, the enemies in this game have to have their limbs shot off. Instead of a pea shooter and a shotgun, you get a laser cutter and a chainsaw. Instead of stopping when their heads are gone, these undead horrors will keep coming until they are incapable of locomotion. This makes the enemies themselves infinitely more terrifying, as you can't just cluster your shots towards their heads but have to individually hack away at every single individual limb of every fast-running hell spawn headed for your delicate face.

    This game nails the atmosphere, nails the combat, and nails the character. Whatever Isaac is feeling, you're feeling. Every enemy killed feels like a small victory. And getting away alive from this feels like a true accomplishment. I won't compare this to the newly-release remake, since I haven't played it, but this game has gone down as one of my top 10 personal favorites.    … Expand

    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.

    Dead 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]
