Dead space is better than I thought.

Well my brother checked Gamefly for Dead space, and apparently it's availability is very low. So he went ahead and just bought it. I am glad he did because I am having a hard time staying away from it. The gameplay makes sense and the pacing of action is perfect. I have played it for about 4 hours and I have not gotten bored or overly frustrated, (I have died 3 times thus far). All that aside, I was expecting a very fun horror game with nice graphics. Essentially a Halloween game. That, technicly is what it is, but it has so many more layers as you progress. You guys may have already played it, I don't know. But all I have to say it I am completely pleased by the end result.

I'm really enjoying Dead Space, I think its a great game..anyone looking for a pure 'scare' and to feel weak and think any horror game that isn't built like resident evil 1 used to be.... obviously won't enjoy it, but the atmosphere you're in with the amazing sound design of the game is truly amazing. Anyone who actually wants a fun game that isn't just another sequel should definitely check it out, I think its definitely the sucessor to RE4 by far, and besides the co-op, will honestly be better than RE5..besides the bit of backtracking, but you always know where you're going so its not like its a big deal.

This sounds like it's definitely a buy for me further down the road, it's been added to my list of games to get for sure.

Dead Space looks good, I think I'm going to have to rent it though. With all of the games coming out, I can definitely wait a while to play this one.

Same here...it looks like a good rental later on when I'm really desperate for something to play.  I certainly can't justify $60 on a single-player only game with limited replay value at this point.

Yeah I would say it is definitely a rental and can be played through in a day or two, I'm going between that and Saints Row 2 though atm..and next week Fable 2 and Farcry 2 come out...god damnit too many games >.<

I don't regrey buying it though, there is a good amount of replay value in upgrading your HP/Stasis and weapons fully , since they all carry over to the next playthrough..so I'll most likely do that definitely, the weapons are really cool in this game..I think its just the fact that, even some being similar, instead of being your typical "pistol/assault rifle/shotgun" its all mining equipment or something made for something else..and just really cool design with them, plus they all have primary and secondary fire modes, some really awesome. The game is definitely worth checking out.
