The game play of the Dead Space requires player to take the role of an engineer named Isaac Clarke, who battles a polymorphic alien infestation that transforms humans into grotesque alien monsters called "Necromorphs" on board a stricken interstellar mining ship named the USG Ishimura. The information about the game is displayed via holographic projections, that which hover over or in front of Isaac’s weapons and suit. The suit has an indicator that displays a health indicator. Moreover, there is a store in the game that can be accessed which allows player to buy and store stuffs for later use. Furthermore, it features zero gravity and decompressed environments which can be navigated using pressurized suit and magnetic boots. The suit has limited amount of air while in airless environments, which can cause him to suffocate, forcing the player to move faster when in these situations. Also, the weapon used in the game are mostly mining tools including plasma cutter, hydrazine torch and force cannon.

A stunningly beautiful horror title packed with the best action and exploration the genre has to offer Read more
At around ten hours playtime the single player story isn't huge value for your money and amongst all the borrowing EA have done, they have failed to add re-playability by including an 'Mercenaries' style arcade mode. Any survival horror fan or gamer who likes their games dark, twisted or gory will lap this up. This may not be the most original game but it's a truly slick production and presents a story to grip you whilst it lasts. If you can't wait for the release of... Read more
Few games have really forayed into the genre of survival horror, first coined in 1996 by Resident Evil. Dead Space is one of these games, so how does it fair against the genre’s defining series? Read more
I was a little skeptic about trying this game out, but I am glad I did. Once you start playing you can't stop. It is also fun to play multiple times. The story line, visual and sound effects can be a little creepy when played for the first time. I would highly recommend buying this game. Update: Be careful with description on Amazon it is inaccurate. This is not the original version as stated on picture, but the Platinum/Greatest Hits version. No change on gameplay just... Read more

Brillant game. After playing the demo i wasn't sure i liked it, but after renting and playing through twice i have to say it is superb.I would say if you have ever played a resi game and liked it then you will love this and even more so if you have 5.1 surround sound headphones. So scary! But play it on at least medium for a challange Read more
Summary: An excellent game held back only by its immense difficulty at certain stages of the game. Read more
Fun: This review is from: Dead Space (Xbox 360) (Video Game) I really thought this was going to be my kind of game - particularly the dismembering part. It began well enough - creepy and atmospheric, and some effective horror moments. But then it became clear that the game was completely formulaic - every level invovles roughly the same routine and conclusion. There are very few effective surprises, not much plot, and after a while it just gets very boring, not to... Read more
