    As a fan of the game and storyline it really wasn't a bad game (game?).. How would you like a comic book with decent characters and a good storyline which act as an intro to Dead Space 2? Ok, then this animate that (admittedly poorly) add some unique puzzles to change things up a bit and get rewarded with things to use in Dead Space 2.. Pretty solid imo, and at a decent price aswell (orAs a fan of the game and storyline it really wasn't a bad game (game?)..

However for a newcomer who isn't really a fan of Dead Space, I doubt anything will be of interest to you.â Expand

    Dead Space: Ignition competently expands the series' fiction but fails to deliver in any other department.

    A game based solely on introducing the hacking mini-games was a terrible idea. Add in the terrible narrative, atrocious graphics and complete lack of replay value to get one of the worst prequels I've ever played.

    As much as we enjoyed Dead Space and look forward to its sequel, this really is a poor effort from Sumo Digital and Visceral Games. [Issue#199, p.103]
