I watched the animated movie Dead Space : Downfall the other day, and I'd like to share my thoughts on it. First of all let me say I have not completed the game yet. I just startted chapter 10, so I'm very close. The movie serves as a prequel to the game, along with the comic books. The difference between the comic books and the movie is the comic books cover events on the colony and the movie is set on the USG Ishimura. The bottom line is, it's a fine rental, but it does not warrant a purchase. In fact, I just saw it on the Encore family of cable channels just this last week! How screwy is that?

The major problem I had with it was that it did not reveal a whole lot more than the comic books did. In fact, I'd say the comic books were better. You learn how the alien scourge makes it onto the Ishimura, and also an interesting fact concerning the Marker. The only matter expanded on video logs from the game concerns the Captain's death. The action sequences were good, and the maturity of the subject matter was handled well. This is definitely not for kids. There's a lot of swearing and plenty of gore. 

I have become a huge fan of the game, and although the movie didn't detract from my love of it, it didn't increase it either.

I have yet to see the movie, but I really enjoyed the game. I wasn't sure how keen I was going to be on the lack of  the familar HUD, but it worked out perfectly.  Definitely a gory game, but that was expected.

I'm thinking I'm going to rent it soon just don't know when.  I really want to see it so good to hear that it's, at the very least, good.  Really really liked the comics as well so I have hope for this.

yeah, its a pretty solid rental, i rented it off of psn i'm about halfway through it as i am typing this.
