Atmosphere for cutting" takes on a whole new meaning when you are constantly cut up Monster.
Isaac is an engineer and his team to repair the communication system of the mine USG Ishimura spaceship, because the giant spaceship has long sent No more messages in the home. After closing time, Issac will then meet with his girlfriend Nicole, who works on the Ishimura. Before the wireless connection broke, which has not sent a garbled message to him that troubles our hero - something seems on board not to be okay.

The characterization "cinematically staged" may have been overused a bit throughout history, but in Dead Space it hits without a doubt. From the first scene we feel, not to sit at our desk, but in a cinema seat. And this is not only the opening credits, which accompanied the first game seconds unobtrusive. It is the interplay of images, dialogues and sounds that make us very impressed already in the shuttle sequence, such as the Ishimura on cue for the first time behind a large asteroid chunks comes to the fore, while the background music reached a brief climax.

Even without striking horror the first steps aboard the Ishimura are already scary enough. Why is this here so dark? And where are all the people? This is the largest mining space ship of humanity, with a few thousand men crew, and no one welcomes us? Scary.
Apart from the technical failings, the operation principle of Dead Space is worthy of an award: The game comes with absolutely no classic screen displays. Whenever Isaac calls the map its inventory ransacked or video viewing messages, comments appear holographic overlays before him. So we will never torn by unadorned menus of the game world. As a health bar serves a light bar on Isaac's back, next to a semi-circle indicates how much stasis energy is still available to him.

Have you played Dead Space, you will receive as a reward a new super suit, lots of money and even keep your equipment to properly turn up in the second pass. But only on the same difficulty as before, and that's pretty pointless. After all, you are now armed to the teeth and immeasurably rich. "But wait," you might say, "now we are already at the end of the game and the article, and no other words to action?" No, because that is really excellent, and you should find out for themselves what aboard the Ishimura happened - because therein lies the appeal of the game.

Wow, "I thought in the first game scene from Dead Space: The cinematic narrative immediately pulled me in its spell. "Wow," I thought, as the credits rolled, "were the three great, creepy, long evenings!" Dead Space is great adult entertainment. And I do not mean the remarkable splatter share, but the gripping story with (semi) surprising twists and a round final

"The marker must be returned to the planet,IT MUST" and to be honest i was glad that i to returned to this classic game and i really enjoyed losing my sanity all over again.
I played this game when it first came out on the X-BOX 360 and at the time thought it was one of the best game's i had ever played and on finishing down loading it i was a little worried and concerned if i was still going to love it as much as i did and if after all this time i would not feel the same way about it ?????
Of course i need not have worried as this game still pack's the same punch now as it did then,and still impressed me with both its jump scare's and its all together moment's of sheer horror i did not see coming the first time round and they still managed to make me jump out of my chair again this time as well.

To most the plot wont need explaining and i wont go into to much detail here let's just say this,the game is set in the year 2508 and the USG Ishimura a "planetcracker" starship send's out a distress signal during a mining operation on the planet Aegis VII.The Concordance Extraction Corporation (CEC) send's the USG Kellion to investigate.After a guidance system malfunction crash'es the Kellion into the Ishimura dock (in explosive fashion),the crew set's out and tries to find other mean's of transport.
As they explore what appear's to be an abandoned ship they find out it is'nt that abandoned after all,that's when the horror truely begin's for engineer Isaac Clarke, Commander Zach Hammond, and Computer Specialist Kendra Daniels as they encounter thing's that are (shall we say) no longer what they once were.
The graphic's in this game are still as impressive now as they were when the game was first released (and that was 6 year's ago-and yet this game can still pack quite a graphical punch),and the enemies and the ship still look as good now as they did then.
The sound and music in game are (not to put to finer point on it) amazing and really do help the scare's along and help you feel all together unnerved about your time on this haunted and possesed ship from hell.

The spoken dialogue in game is all delivered with sheer perfection and would'nt sound out of place in a big hollywood SCI-FI blockbuster (Gunner Wright who is the voice of Isaac Clarke really does stand out).
The gameplay has stood the test of time and really does show up some more modern games (especially HORROR) for what they are poor game's,i enjoyed solving the puzzle's and blowing the limb's of enemies as much this time as i did the very first time i played the game.
And for a game to impress me as much now as it did 6 years ago really is a testament to what EA Redwood Shore's acheived and i was also happy that they continued the story by producing two very good animated film's to accompany the franchise.

Here's the trailer for the first movie -

Will you like this game if you have'nt played it,well yes of course you will if you like a well made and top notch game full or horror,suspense and wet your pant moment's but if your the sort of person who hide's at the sight of "GHOST FACE" from "SCREAM" then i just wouldent bother.
Anyway remember watch your back and oh whats that in the corner of my eye.............................."AARRGGHHHHHHHHHHH" ok its just my wife ????

Holy jeez this game scared the crap out of me! I love everything about this game, from the terryfying scenes to the hardcore gameplay. I really enjoyed the way the camera angles and mouse set up really lent to the scariness of the game. It causes a certain degree of panic when you know there is an enemy, but you can't find him unless you stay calm and move slowly without panicing. I really liked this game a lot and I definitely approve!!

Great horror. Not recomended on LSD..

10/10

Best stomping simulator

10/10

One of the best triple A titles I have ever played. You are Isaac Clarke, an engineer who has traveled to a Planet Cracker class ship to fix a communication relay, your motivation, the woman you love.

Things aren't so hunky dorey when you get there and what ensues is one of the best, albeit frustrating at times, survival-horror games ever made.

+The game still looks beautiful 6 years after release and there are plenty of opportunities for great screenshots
+Combat occasionally feels clunky but very satisfying when you dismember enemies
+Overall gameplay is good and rewarding
+Challenging boss fights
+Resource management is challenging but adds another level of gameplay to Dead Space
+When you complete the game you can start over with all of your items as well as some rewards for completing the game

+/-The plot, while the storyline itself is excellent, especially the twist at the end, some parts of the game are incredibly frustrating, e.g. 'Oh great you managed to find that thing which will save us! Oh but I just realised actually it won't be good enough, go find something else'
+/-Even medium difficulty is challenging at times, personally I like this but others may not
+/-Creepy enemies but not a particularly scary game especially compared to DS2

-Aiming while using matter cannons or while suspended by a 'large' necromorph is absolutely appalling even with a controller, very difficult to tell which way you need to move the weapon in order to get it in the right position
-Mouse controls aren't great and controller sensitivity can't be changed
-When using the steam overlay your normal mouse may appear in the game after using the mouse in the overlay
-No achievements

Verdict:
8.5

This is easily one of my favourite games and I'm so glad I played it to completion.

Event Horizon : The game !

Hadn't felt such a good sense of survival horror ever since the late 90s Residnt Evil games.

One of the greatest horror games of the last generation, for sure. Dead Space builds up suspense and tension, using a sci-fi environment, a creepy atmosphere, and lots of blood. You play as engineer Isaac Clarke, who goes on a routine mission to repair a damaged spaceship. Obviously the mission isn't so routine, and it's up to Isaac to find his girlfriend Nicole and escape with the rest of his crew. The enemies are known as the Necromorphs - humans who have changed into hideous creatures. Over the course of the game you will find new weapons, armor, and upgrades to help you along the way. Just be sure to stop playing the series at two; Dead Space 3 is a whole new kind of monster...

This game is truly a horror masterpiece. The special about it is that Isaac isn't a soldier trained to kick ♥♥♥ but an engineer trained for fixing stuff. Going into a battle for survival against aggressive Necromorphs is always a terrifying experience. Do yourself a favor by playing Dead Space only in a dark room with headphones to experience the true horror. The only part I dislike about it is that it makes you feel edgy almost all the time knowing that danger lies around every corner.

P.S. Playing the game with a controller is strongly recommended (for smoother aiming) and also please choose hard difficulty.

GG!

This game is even more horrorfic and scary than Miley Cyrus herself! 11/10. A horror masterpiece!

I was "jumped" by naked mutant children.








11/10

Overall score = 8/10

Dead Space is a wonderful game combining many genres, third person shooter, survival, action, and horror, all into on. While some games fail when trying to do too much, Dead Space is able to do all of these parts well and deliver a satisfying experience from start to finish.

Dead Space progresses very nicely from start to finish. The story is intriguing and, while horrifying space creatures is nothing new, presents a well rounded and detail/lore filled experience that took some thought to follow. The opening sequence leads very nicely right into the action, immediately making you want to find out just what happened to that ship.

As far as firefights go, this game offers some intense sequences. Whenever I overcame a hoard of enemies I felt like a badass, but I always hoped that an engagement like that wouldn't happen again. This may be what Dead Space does best: present you in an environment that makes you uncomfortable, leave you feeling exposed at all times, and give you just enough to get the job done if you do it right and think on your feet.

That being said, I found the biggest flaws in the game to also center around the combat situations. While there are plenty of action sequences in the game, it is not as smooth as other action games, which is of course fine as this isn't the initial purpose. However, some sequences and enemies felt cheap to me when you meet them. The enemies are varied, challenging, and interesting as a whole, but some sequences are downright frustrating. Often this happens when an objective is not fully clear or your purpose is not adequately explained. I don't expect a game to hold my hand, but when it isn't clear what that button you just pressed does, but swarms of enemies come out of the vents, it can become exhasperating. Fortunately, this doesn't happen too often.

The progression system in Dead Space is very good and rewarding. You can build your loadout to your playstyle and upgrade equipment to suit your strengths. Dead Space offers a variety of weapons to use and tactics to implement to keep battles fresh and fun.

I would definitely recommend Dead Space, even though it is a few years old. It is still a great game, and at a discount during Christmas or summer for $5 simply can't be missed.

Took me about 9 hours to complete. It is a little scary and has a couple of jump scares in it. It is a survival horror/3rd person shooter. About halfway through I became a powerhouse and was just mowing down enemies. It has some puzzles in it that were solved quickly but brought a good change of pace when needed. The zero gravity rooms were cool and also disorienting. The checkpoints were very forgiving. If you can get it for 5 bucks when it is on sale it is very worth it. 8/10

9/10
Overview: Survival Horror-Third Person Shooter

The Good:

+Graphics

+Lighting

+Atmosphere

+No HUD makes things more immersive

+I love that once you gain control of the main character, you never lose control, there are no cutscenes, cgi or anything that takes away control of the character. All the action takes place from the characters perspective and that provides an extra layer of immersion.

+The game provides a great sense of pacing, slowly introducing new enemies, gameplay mechanics, locations and puzzles to keep you second guessing what's around the next corner.

+Variety of weapons

+Finding nodes throughout the ship as well as purchasing it in the store allows you to upgrade your weapons and suit

+Combat, shooting limbs off enemies is satisfying

+Monsters look, feel and act scary along with good diversity to keep combat engaging.

+Variety of death animations

+Sound effects


The Average:

Disappointing last boss

The story can be very predictable

A few crashes


The Bad

- The game has some technical issues that you should be aware about specifically regarding vsync, mouse lag, frame rates. Turn off vsync to get the best possible experience.


Conclusion

This is arguably one of the best horror games to come out in the last decade. It does so many things right in the genre. I STRONGLY recommend this game to anybody who either loves survival horror games or third person shooters.

Daddy space

EA used to make good games? WHAT MADNESS IS THIS?!

Isaac never says a word in the middle of all this madness, such hero. 8/10

A walking, talking Francis Bacon painting that a few sessions of marriage guidance could've have sorted out before take-off.

- Completed 12 chapters on 'normal' in around 9hrs unrushed -- was not bored for a single minute, and chalking this up as one of my favourite gaming experiences ever, on a par with Half Life 2 -- well worth the full price but a no-brainer on Steam sale.
- Dont let the mouse problem put you off -- it's easy to resolve (dont use controller)
- Dont let the 2008 date put you off -- it's well ahead of its time.

I've learned something from this game if I want money just stomp on some body THANKS DEAD SPACE!!!!! 10/10
