Dead Space - in bullet point form
By hallwaygiant 1 Comments
I had a pretty huge post written about my Dead Space thoughts having beat it a couple of days ago, but of course I backed out of the editor and...well...yeah.
So instead I'm just going to post my pros and cons for the game and later I'll try to put that into a more readable format or whatnot.
Pros:
Technically impressive graphics
Artistically solid
Appropriate musical score
Amazing sound design
Satisfying combat
Constant sense of dread/tension aka good pacing
Zero-G environments work well
Cons:
Poor Close Quarter combat
'Cheap deaths' = no fun
Strange weapon balance (flamethrower = teh suck, plasma cutter = godlike)
Story while interesting is nothing to write home about / lots of potential not really realized
issac needs more movement options (A quick side step or roll would be fantastic)
Why not have a hotkey for stasis too? Aka in-game inventory management can lead to some incredibly frustrating situations.
