Dead Space Review “Scary Good”

Space the final frontier, this game takes place in the distant future an Isaac Clarke, a space engineer equipped with a protective armor called “the Rig”, and his company, Concordance Extraction Corporation, receive a distress call from a ship called USG Ishimura. So they go out to check out the distress call and when on the ship they find out that the ship is over run by an alien race called Necromorphs, who dependent upon necrotic flesh.

In this game Isaac has alot of weapons at his disposal and one of the many weapons that you will have is the plasma cutter. This weapon is used to, as it’s name suggested, cut enemy’s up with a plasma blast or ray. Another weapon in the game is the industrial lasers, which is basically a laser. Also each weapon in the game has a alternate attack or secondary fire, which, thank god, has just as much usage as the weapons primary fire. The types of weapons to pick from are flamethrowers, lasers, saws and, what they didn’t show you in trailers, Isaac’s vista of telekinetic abilities which allow to slow down time and etc.

One of the many things that make this game epic is the ability for you to build your own weapons from blueprints that can be found all over the game. This also goes for ammo, items, and suit upgrades but, nothing is more important then upgrading your suit because it is crucial to your survival in the game. Upgrading your suit also gives it some nice graphical upgrades to “the Rig”, which really adds to the games replay ability.

Nothing is more important in this game than it’s zero-gravity environments which adds a nice graphical and technical aspect to the game. When you enter the games zero-gravity environments one of the first things that you will notice is that the hologram display on Issac’s back will now show how much oxygen you have remaining. One of the coolest thing we saw when you are in this mode is the ability leap across entire rooms, and shoot enemies floating around in the air. This really adds to the zero-gravity feel and it makes you feel like you’re in space.

Closing statement:

For a now fan of this game, this game has everything that you would want for a video game from epic boss battles, big guns and even a crazy death gallery. Trust us when we say that this game is one of the greatest horror titles ever made and they really didn’t miss anything with this one and yes, it’s “even better then Resident Evil.”

Score: A+
