Engineer Isaac Clarke battles a polymorphic virus-like alien infestation that turns human corpses into grotesque undead alien monsters called "Necromorphs" while trying to survive on board an infested interstellar mining ship named the USG Ishimura.
im glad they didnt go the halo route of not showing the face of the protagonist cause now there is no way to show it without totally ruining it for some people.
I like that they showed us his face. It makes him seem like less of a mysterious supersoldier/space marine and more like a terrified engineer who has no idea what the hell is going on.
Yeah I really like that aspect also, It works well. I don't think it would have been good to have someone distinct and memorable under the suit, it would have taken away much of the character of the suit to know there was a typical pretty boy underneath.
The suit pretty much killed most of the fear off for me. Like Yahtzee said, how can I care about a guy if he doesn't have a face and doesn't speak? The only time I remember feeling ay kind of fear was when I was running out of breath and it did that horrible choking sound.
