I'm poor, so I finally got to play Dead Space this weekend when I stumble across the demo on Live. What do you guys think about it? 

I enjoyed it. I also found it pretty challenging because each creature took pretty damn long to kill. But it was awesome to see half a corpse crawling at me once I severed its legs.

• To me, it's really, really hard. But, I don't know, I could be new at it all. Is the full game really that hard? 
• Issac's character model seemed to have no anti-aliasing whatsoever, and that sort of threw me off. 
• The guns feel extremely ineffective, and the whole "dismemberment" thing they try to force you into really doesn't feel like it works. Is the full game completely different?

I bought the full game and enjoyed it thoroughly. It's the first survival horror game I've enjoyed for a long time. I found the limb severing system forced me to use good aim, and take time to steady my shots to conserve ammo. There are better things to spend credits on.
Definitely one of the better purchases Ive made this year.

I played the demo and now I can't wait for Christmas. =)

And there were a lot of "OH SHIT" moments for me because you can't pause the game, pull out a gun you think about for a while and go back to normal gameplay. That's really what made it difficult for me.

I loved the Ripper. It was just too loud as I was playing in class.
