You'll be able to take full advantage of zero gravity in Deep Space. Battling enemies and solving puzzles takes on new challenges and present ingenious opportunities with the Zero-G game play. You can use zero gravity to create your own path around obstacles by walking on walls and the ceiling. Leap across vast distances or change your perspective to gain a strategic advantage over your enemies.

3DEAD SPACE Left Me Torn.....  Mar 08, 2010
Let me say right off the bat that DEAD SPACE is definitely fun to play, visually stunning and incredibly eerie & creepy in an insanely effective way. However, having said that, the game is not without its' flaws....

THE GOOD :
This game is first and foremost very `effective'. Effective in the sense that it's so creepy & eerie in its' atmospherics it becomes unsettling the longer you play it (especially late at night!). So much so that (as I saw someone elsewhere say) "it makes the mundane task of opening a door a near ordeal". And that it does. Every door you open, every corner you turn, every room you enter causes you to mentally bolster yourself for what may or may not be coming at you. And sometimes it's as predictable as you'd expect and other times it's not at all. That's what helps make it so effective. Add to the fold the low lighting, constant background sounds of creaking, moaning, aliens slinking about, whispers and other asundry noises not of this world (kudos to the games very creepy version of 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star' !), and you have quite possibly one of the most atmospheric games created. Visually speaking, the vistas of space, planets, the character you control and much of the scenery you walk through is spectacular and breathtaking. Ironically, the aliens you fight are not (even in a gruesome way) but we'll get to that in a moment..... Another thing I liked about DEAD SPACE was the way in which the gameplay is varied. Mainly this is a FPS-type 3rd person game, but there are moments when you control massive ship-mounted cannons, run to dodge asteroids, perform zero-G jumps and even get to play Basketball in zero-G! Well done in terms of breaking up the monotony of a constant FPS-type game. Additionally, the weapons are a lot of fun (especially when they've been upgraded and do more damage) too. But getting back to the `effective' factor of this game, it will make you consider carefully your ammo and spending habits, as you may or may not always have enough of what you need to get the job done. Additionally, the number of items your suit will allow you to carry and the weapons in your arsenal will force you to make solid battle strategies to deal with the situations at hand.

THE BAD :
As I mentioned previously (and this is a relatively minor thing) the aliens in the game, while gruesome and disturbing in appearance enough, don't look as well rendered as the rest of the game. Especially up close, and believe me, they WILL get up close on you! Maybe it's just me, but they felt a bit more choppy and not as smooth in movement as the rest of the game was, but hey, like I said, it's a relatively minor gripe. And maybe they were supposed to be that way - they're aliens, right? All in all, they looked more like PS2 quality renderings than PS3.... The only one real, significant, major complaint I had with this game was, it's WAY too difficult in some spots. And I only played it on `normal' setting as I'm not into making things easier or harder on myself. I've seen others comment on their frustrations with the asteroid shooting sequence, but for me that wasn't that difficult to get by with some practice. What WAS difficult were a few spots in the game where you're trapped in a room with BOATLOADS of aliens, limited ammo and no way out until almost all are dead. Seriously, it took over a week to get by some of these spots and I was about ready to give up on the game altogether, even w/ help from the Internet. But, like anything, `practice makes perfect' I guess, or I just got a lucky break. But be forewarned - this is definitely a frustratingly difficult game at times.

OVERALL :
An at times, VERY difficult game, that is one of the most atmospheric, creepy and well-done I've seen. Great visuals, superb sound effects and varied gameplay make this a good if not great game to play. Definitely recommended for fans of this genre and those who just want to try something a little different.

2No  Mar 04, 2010
People seem to rave about this game. I was not thrilled. I could have spent my money else where and been happy.

4Deadspace  Feb 25, 2010
Deadspace is a top of the line survival horror game by EA. The visuals and audio were stunning so if you're looking for a great quality horror game, then Deadspace is a great choice. It can be a bit repetitive with the enemies becoming more and more predictable in where they show up, but putting them back down never gets tiring.

5Upgraded memories from the past: System Shock 2 revived  Feb 22, 2010
Well, this game itself doesn't have anything to do with Looking Glass games of System Shock 2 but most likely was inspired by it and brought to the new technological advancements of the 21st century.
Can't say more, if you're familiar with System Shock 2 you'll definitely like this game!


5THIS is how you do a survival game.  Feb 21, 2010
What can I say about Dead Space? They did everything right when making a survival horror game, and didn't go and turn it into another action game with horror elements. Nearly everything about Dead Space is perfect. You have excellent graphics, one of the best soundtracks to set the atmosphere, a story with a slight twist at the end, and even some fun trophies to go for. I took a chance with buying Dead Space before I even played it, but after seeing one gameplay video, I was sure I'd made the right choice.

You play as Isaac Clarke, an engineer aboard a ship out in space with just a few other people. Once you go to investigate another ship, all hell breaks loose. Within minutes of entering the ship, blood thirsty monsters/aliens/zombies (you find out later what they are) attack your party, and you're left to get out of there while getting to the bottom of what happened and why. It seems that everyone aboard the ship is dead, what with all the dead bodies and crew logs stating who's deceased, but there's someone else onboard who wants you to stay.

While the game's very much survival-based, there's some action to it, since you'll be blasting enemies to pieces, literally. Until you upgrade your weapons a lot, you'll have to shoot off the monsters' limbs. Yeah, just shooting them in the head or body isn't gonna work here. Each weapon has a secondary attack mode- your main weapon, the Plasma Cutter, being able to shoot rounds vertically and horizontally, so one way is good for legs and the other for arms or tentacles. There aren't a lot of other weapons, but enough to add variety and be practical. Isaac can carry 4 at a time, and you switch using the d-pad. If an enemy manages to grab you, mash the X button until you get a cool scene of Isaac bashing them aside, or lose your head. Your inventory is also limited, though as you progress and upgrade your armor, you can carry more. There's also a Safe system where you can move items from your inventory to a Safe located at any Store found on the ship. These are spread out quite a bit, and often times you'll be needing to conserve ammo and health packs as a result.

Like I said, nearly everything here is perfect. Get this- if you click the right thumbstick in, Isaac will project a blue light that guides you to your next objective at any point in the game. This sounds like it'll make things easier, but just because he shows a path doesn't mean that it's safe, and a lot of the time there'll be hordes of monsters coming after you. What's great about the enemies is that they never, ever pop out of nowhere like in other games. They use the vents in the ship to travel, and if you see a vent somewhere, there's a chance that they'll get you through there, or use it to get the drop on you from another one. I got surprised a few times when they used that tactic, and got to enjoy a number of unique death scenes. And trust me when I say that there are A LOT of different death animations for Isaac. There's not much music, but more ambiance that makes you wonder what's going on in any given room. There's always a sound of some kind, sometimes the ship, sometimes a creature near or far. I love it.

The only problems I have with this game that almost bumped it down to 4 stars are that it's not that challenging, even on 'Impossible' difficulty, I wanted the game to go on longer than it was (I beat it in about 10 hours on the first play through), and of course the turret scenes. I personally hate turret parts in games because of how forced they seem, and how they ruin the flow of things. That tradition continues here, and everyone that complains about it has the right to because of how random it is. Luckily, there are only two of these areas, one being where you shoot asteroids and the other being an enemy fight, but they're so annoying! I hope the turrets are gone in Dead Space 2. Watching a video of them before playing the game, they didn't look too bad, but once I actually got there, I realized that all the complaints weren't kidding. Oh, I do also have to say that the wall creatures have one of the most annoying voices ever. They weren't scary, just plain annoying- so much that I'd turn the sound down whenever I'd see or hear them. They do this stupid sound any time they attack, and they attack a lot. Argh!

Dead Space was the first non-downloadable game I beat for the ps3 and I loved every minute of it [that didn't have a turret]. Had I owned a ps3 when the game first came out, I would've bought it for full price back then- it's that good. Please buy this game new and support it so we can get more quality titles like this! Dead Space has the unfortunate luck of being more popular to buy used, so the developers aren't getting anything out of it. Here's hoping for more from this excellent franchise.
