In the future miners have better funding and equipment then the army/police do.

Yeah, the art looks like butthole.  The images look mostly rough and unfinished, and the make everything move by warping and distorting the figures.  Except for walking, which is everything bouncing up and down.  I know it's supposed to be a motion comic, but other comics (Broken Saints) did it better years ago.

This seems like it would be of interest to fans of the series, and it totally makes sense as a pre-order bonus as I bet a lot of pre-orders were made by people who enjoyed the other games. However, if I didn't know anything about Dead Space and decided to spend $5 on this I would probably not be interested in getting Dead Space 2 after playing it.

yeah, or, not the art itself so much as the animations. They obviously put no effort at all into those.

Well, the first hacking minigame was basically identical to the one Looking Glass/Irrational have used in every -shock game since System Shock 1 in 1994.

Looked well implemented though, and considering Dead Space was planned to be System Shock 3 in the early planning phase, I suppose it makes sense to reference the hacking from the first two System Shock games.

Jesus fucking christ. Static image deformation and camera panning should NEVER pass as final animation for any game.

Honestly the story presentation should be the best part, and yet I found those minigames to be more interesting.  The story seems tacked on, rather than the reason to play it.

What a crock of shit, I mean seriously the first game may not have had any hacking mini-games, but at least the first one was a game! They could have at least made the animation better, this little pre-lc is like an endless Alien Breed cut scene, except Alien Breed is more enjoyable than this.

I would like to veto the name "PreLC" before it becomes even more popular than it already has! 
 
DLC = DownLoadable Content 
PreLC = PreLoadable Content?  makes no sense! 
 
 
I must admit I have no good alternative at the moment, but I cringe every time I hear the giantbomb crew say PreLC :/ 
 
 
Random thing to complain about, I know...

Wow, they couldn't even bother with a proper art style? I don't consider half-assed scribbles as an art style, I consider it laziness.

I was thinking about getting this because I like the dead space fiction, but the game don't even seem to have much story so forget that.

They could've at least made original hacking mini games rather than just rip off other mini games that already exist elsewhere for free and with no crappy "animation" comic.

I think the comic-strip scenes could be vastly improved if it was replaced with the cast of SeaLab 2021.

Edit: The comics look pretty goofy, but this is actually a pretty robust mini-game collection for $5.
