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.
