The expansion was spooky and had 3 or 4 new enemies to fight with. Additionally, it had a whole new set of really fun trophies to collect.

   I also found it harder. Perhaps because I was a bit out of practice, having not played a DS game for a while. But also because the enemies seem to attack in 'hordes' far more often than in previous DS games.
   
   Enjoyed revisiting locations from the previous game and seeing how they'd changed.
   
   Good story add-on, stays true to the 'look & feel' of the previous games - and provides a fitting epilogue to DS3.… Expand

Those playing it in co-op will find the game markedly less scary, but even in single-player, the game's fear factor is marred by the we've-seen-it-all-before factor.
   
   Still, the DLC is rousing good fun, and Visceral capitalizes on its claim that the DLC is disturbing though to say that it is the most disturbing of the entire series is probably not true. What is more disturbing is the DLC's short life, which is about two hours perhaps an extra thirty minutes if you play it on "Impossible." A good formula for the length of a game is probably about 40% of what you paid for it anything else is added value or too long, and anything less is just too short. So given that you pay $10 for the DLC, you would expect additional content that's at least four hours long, but some people who rush through content could probably finish it in less than two hours.… Expand

   Marvelous story with the resurrecting of the horror-side of Dead Space.
   It's definitely just as fun as the Dead Space 3 story mode, andMarvelous story with the resurrecting of the horror-side of Dead Space.
   It's definitely just as fun as the Dead Space 3 story mode, and there's no glitches or bugs.
   The one issue I did find with it was that it was very short but it was still a very fun COOP experience (Yes it's less scary, but I find COOP games more fun now and sort of makes the game/dlc worth the price playing with your best friend over just by yourself.)… Expand

Top notch level design and some creepy environments make for a solid return, and the Dementia worlds that were shown in the previous game make fro some solid fun. The story also is surprisingly more interesting than what was found in the last game, though the dialog ranges from passible to bad. Ultimately, Awaking is held back by it's short length. Without counting the time spent in the weapon bench, my playthrough lasted about an hour to an hour and a half, and it all ends on a cliffhanger. While it does feel a little pricey for it's short length, Awaking is still a solid piece of DLC that fans will defiantly want to check out.… Expand

The DLC looks as if it was a rushed project in order to make a quick buck. Although it does extend the cliffhanger that Dead Space 3 left players at, it does a rather poor job of giving players anything to hold onto except that the longer this series goes on the more pointless Issac Clark's mission seems to get. As far as game play goes the game sticks to it's roots. Shoot enemy limbs, stomp on their remains for items, run through several doors, and finally shoot at crates to find more items and upgrade your rig and weapons.
   
   Visceral studios rehashed much of the earlier areas that Dead Space 3 showed us which just seems to be laziness on their part. As much as I had hoped Visceral wouldn't take the route that EA usually sends it's Game devs down, it seems that they joined the flock. Although Dead Space 3 isn't the worst game around it certainly takes a step down that previous games in the series seemed to excel on.
   Hopefully Visceral will learn their lesson and make the next installment in the series a lot better.… Expand

   Can't understand the good reviews for a cash-in DLC that could have been released with teh main game.

Heck the main game isn't that good, it's a major disappointment after the first two games in the series. Skip the DLC, actually while you're at it, skip the whole thing until EA drop this pathetic chase for the FPS gamer and micro-payment pay-to-win trash.… Expand
