i have to say this game is the best alien like zombie game that i have ever played in a long time. I would recommend this game to those who are good at playing in the dark and not pee themselves. But it;s hard to kill the zombies because they just keep coming and coming.

This game is AMAZING. I personally usually am not a huge gamer, but Dead Space really got me hooked. I love that you can upgrade your "rig" (suit) and your guns. The thing that I like most about the game is the objective finder. This is very very helpful. With this innovative feature you are not just following an icon or an arrow its an actual path, so your not stuck in a level for hours and hours searching for a stupid battery. Not as scary as it's made out to be, yet that might because i set it to the highest brightness. Very addivtive gameplay. The one thing that really make or breaks the game for me is achievements. Which in Dead Space there are plenty to keep you coming back for more.

Dead Space was a very surprising game for me. After all of the cool marketing for the game, I expected it to be a huge disappointment. I couldn't have been more wrong.

This game is truly frightening. I didn't think video games could put you on the edge of your seat and make you jump out of it, until Dead Space came along. I recommend playing this game with no lights on in the room. The audio is creepy, the visuals are dark and it will make you jump atleast a few times, I promise you that.

The story is amazing. Trying to find out what went wrong on the space station and how these horrible creatures have been created, gives you one fantastic and addicting game.

One of the best adventures in games this year.

Dead Space. The title of the game already sounds like a great game,but it gets waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. And creepier. It is extremely violent, and the dismemberment concept is wicked.The 0 gravity sections are insane, and the vacums make you hurry, hurry, hurry. Even if you're battling tons of enemies. My only problem is that your companions treat you like their work mule. Otherwise its an excellent game and I REALLY recommend you get it.

This game is an incredibly fun game, with well-paced mixes of action and storyline. You do seem to go on an incredible amount of fetch quests, and towards the middle to the end of the game your crewmates start to treat you as their lackey, not their colleague, but that only occasionally distracts from the stellar gameplay. Severing limb by limb never gets old, and each encounter is different every time depending on your concentration and the amount of enemies nearby. You need to know the different types of enemies if you are to survive, and you'll find out by trial and error what techniques are effective against different enemies and what aren't (ProTip: NEVER SHOOT A FAT GUY IN THE STOMACH!). Once in a while the enemies will play dead, posing an interesting dilemma: "Is he dead? I only have a bit of health left. Should I shoot him in the face, just to make sure he's dead? But I only have a bit of ammo left, it might be wasted for nothing! I..." etc., etc. To be honest, my only real quibble with this game is a minor one: sometimes, in certain areas, areas will be turned into "Quarantine Zones" when scripted enemies burst through, and you cannot escape until every enemy is killed. The enemies are supposed to rush at you, right? But once in a while I'll "kill" an enemy, then keep fighting other enemies. Turns out later, the first one I killed was playing dead. But they're supposed to come at you!

In any case, this is a stellar game, and I recommend this for a buy.

This game is just plain fun! I only onequestion; is his suit so heave that cannot jump either then while performing a gravity jump? This game is also the creepiest game I've ever played. It has startled me more then when I was a kid playing Resident Evil the first time on the PSone. I think the story is great, you find out from videos/audio/text files on how things came about. It is also great fun to hack enemies away at the limbs!

Its hard pressed to tread new territory in such a field and do it with absolute precision. The makers if Dead Space did just that. EA created a unique movie like experience that puts you into a scenario like Event Horizon and Alien in a desperate attempt for survival against a new and deadly alien species known as The Necromorph. While it does play very close to Resident Evil 4, with super tight controls and innovative concepts like zero-g combat wrapped in a gritty shell of super gloss eye candy, you are forced to surgically dismember your enemies that come in all shapes and sizes. The game is fun, atmospheric and not without dread and impressive visuals that stun and amaze. This has been a good year for games and while GOW 2 is a fun campaign, Dead Space is more impressive than Epic's Sequel, not the first. Seriously Dead Space delivers a whole new world for the first time and I'm not sure what people expect, but its hard to scare anyone these days, but at least Dead Space doesn't die trying, With a vast array of upgradeable weapons and a new alien threat, there's no way to play down the brilliant effort of the new space child to the video game industry, its name is Dead Space and its well worth its price tag.

Some people really don't realize that all games are great. This game is ok but there were some things I missed and I wanted to see them. I was kind of let down by the storyline but, I really like the combat scheme and everything else. A sequel would be somewhat interesting I guess.... but I think I will pass.

You are placed in the boots of Isaac Clarke a lowly engineer on board the USG Kellion, a shuttle headed towards the USG Ishimura, an immense mining ship(or planetcracker). What seems like an every day routine repair quickly turns into the stuff nightmares are made of. The mining crews down on Aegis 7, the planet they're cracking, have found a misterious artifact known as "The Marker". Soon afterwards, Necromorph infections soon spread to the Ishimura.

The graphics in Dead Space can only be described as dark, cramped and frightening, it's not for people with claustrophobia. Another thing that adds to the creep factor is the audio. both the visuals and the audio combine effectively to form an out of this world horror expirience.

Let's talk about gameplay, enemies will almost constantly appear out of nowhere, so develop a habit of looking over you're shoulder. Combat is fast paced and intense. What this game does different is the fact that headshots dont work well anymore, unless you want to make a Necromorph flail it's limbs blindly. What does work well is dismembering limbs, it kills them quicker and saves you ammo, trust me you'll need that ammo. Controls are simple and a breeze to learn, this will make you're stay on board the Ishimura that much more enjoyable.

Weapons include a variety of mining tools, the best ones for me are the Plasma Cutter, Line Gun, Ripper and Pulse Rifle(thats the only actual gun in the game). Isaac also has two handy abilities that can serve well whether it's killing Necromorphs or solving some of the puzzles in the game, I'm talking of course of Stasis and Kinesis(NOTE: it's just Kinesis, not TELEkinesis, it's not a mind trick in this game.) Early in the game Isaac finds and attaches the Kinesis and Stasis modules onto his arm. Stasis is a projectile that dramatically slows down anything you aim it at, making a puzzle easier to solve or limbs easier to chop. Kinesis allows you to pick up objects and bring them to you, wheher it's something out of reach or something to use when you're out of ammo.

Dead Space is by far the best horror game I've played since...ever. From the bone chilling beginning to the startleling end, this game will keep you screaming and keep you sleeping with the lights on. The game has no other modes, but replayability is very high. I would recommend this to anyone who wants any of the following: a challenge, a terrifying expirience, a fun time or all of the above.

Marooned on a derelict mining vessel out in the vastness of space--already starting to sound like a bleak situation, eh? The main protagonist Issac and his panic-stricken comrades search for a way off the ship while inquiring for answers on what happened in the first place. The story and situations will seem standard to sci-fi horror movie/game fans--because they are.

You're immediately lobbed into the lunacy of Dead Space--narrow corridors, taut atmospheric lighting, and enough unsettling sounds to freak out the most resolved horror fans out there. The game is set through missions in which you must traverse through--much like Resident Evil 4, unraveling the story as the missions unfold.

You'd be surprised how many exceptional environments are embraced--blood curdled walls, unfathomable engine rooms, quasi-safe medlabs, and fortuitously beautiful greeneries. Dead Space will have you frightfully dashing from one end of the ship to the other in a frantic haze to achieve your mission--survive.

Dead Space is an innovator in hud-less games. I feel that the fluent onscreen information and inventories is extremely important to the game--since it adds a layer of apprehension. When Isaac accesses his inventories the camera sweeps in closer depriving the player of precious peripheral vision--add that and the perpetual frightening such-and-such, you'll be sure to pick through your pockets with the uttermost quickness.

Dead Space has also made me happy because it offers a key feature most games really don't anymore, and that's a damn good challenge. This game will impale your stomach, head-butt your face, then slice your mandible like some sick sadistic sociopath. However unlike real-life, you get to experience these sensations over and over again! Ammo is scarce and appropriate cover is disingenuous. All of the well-organized factors EA Redwood team aimed for have been accomplished. From art to sound and controls, it's spot on. This game will irk you unsettled and keep you up at night.

There's really only one major problem I have with the game--redundancy. Ultimately, the game coins the term "monster closet". Search for an objective, finding that objective initiates the trigger for a notorious baddie to leap out at you--eventually diminishing returns will set in. But that's why fans of these games purchase them. You can't get these sorts of visceral emotions from simply watching horror movies. You need to experience it for yourself! Frankly, I feel bad for horror fans who aren't gamers, they'd absolutely eat this title up.

EA has hit it's mark with Dead Space. I can see it becoming a venerable franchise for the company and the fans. Don't miss out on this title if you're a survival/horror fan.
