This game is one of those games worth playing as offers a intense thrilling experience and a good storyline which spans over 12 hours and has offers potential second play-through .

Dead Space (PS3, Xbox 360) review

By Dominic Sheard (darkzero.co.uk)

The horror genre has been set up into some well built franchises. The first ones that usually enter your head when you think of the genre are Resident Evil, Silent Hill and maybe Project Zero/Fatal Frame. It's not often you see a new title enter the...

Dead Space is welcomed with open arms here and to think EA have brought this a long is a nice surprise. Another thing we know is that EA love sequels and we can expect to see Dead Space 2 next year or at some point in the future. I sit here waiting to...

A surprising thing is the title is from a group that you wouldn't associate with even trying a horror game… EA. Yes that's the publisher that brings you all those license games and sports games you see in the charts. You do have to give credit when due...

Dead Space

By Lark Anderson (gamespot.co.uk)

An incredibly atmospheric and disturbingly gruesome deep-space adventure that will haunt your dreams and leave you begging for more.

Deeply engrossing story ; Breathtaking visuals and nerve-wracking audio ; Strategic dismemberment adds an entirely new, satisfying dimension to combat ; Truly terrifying gameplay keeps you on the edge of your seat

Repetitive mission objectives ; Close-quarters combat is troublesome

Dead Space (PS3) review

By NowGamer ArchiveBot (nowgamer.com)

Award: Violence Award

A cut above the rest

Dead Space lifts gameplay elements from a variety of sources and ably adapts them to the survival-horror genre. It’s let down by some samey environs, but these don’t detract from the compelling horror experience.

Dead Space (2008)

By Dave McComb (empireonline.com)

While there's no denying the glorious Resident Evil 4 redefined console fright fests, the limitations of early editions in Capcom's survival horror series were a huge part of what made them so terrifying; from the clunky controls of the PSOne games...

Similarly, in contemporary space horror Dead Space, what could be criticised as drawbacks in other games actually help make for a more chilling and unnerving adventure.

Dead Space

By Martin Murphy (gamebosh.com)

Just when I thought the Survival Horror genre was nearing a death, along comes Dead Space. Resident Evil begrudgingly abandoned the genre for pure Action; Silent Hill has been failing to deliver in recent years, and who knows if we'll ever see Project...

Engrossing Story ; Challenging and tense game play ; Brilliant sound and score ; Unique weapons ; Terrifying monsters / Bosses ; Zero gravity ; In-game displays ; A benchmark Survival Horror title

Unresponsive doors at crucial moments ; Slightly repetitive in objectives and level design

Dead Space isn't original in its concept, it has many borrowed elements from other games of its type, noticeably Resident Evil and the equally brilliant Doom 3, but it takes these elements and almost perfects them. Sure, the level design and locations...

As far as Survival Horror goes, this is best I've played in years and can be classed as a benchmark for contemporary horror titles. It seems EA has beaten Capcom at their own game. Dead Space > Resident Evil 5.

Dead Space (PlayStation 3)

The survival horror genre is rife with games in which you are isolated in a hostile environment full of monsters, and Dead Space is no exception. But from the moment you're thrown into the middle of the fray in the heart-pounding introduction until the...

With its disturbingly twisted visuals, its deeply engrossing story, and innovative strategic dismemberment combat system, Dead Space is a best-in-its-class game that surpasses other entries in its venerable genre in nearly every way and will be the...

Dead Space 2: Severed Review

By Carolyn Petit (gamespot.com)

A focus on intense combat makes this brief return to the Sprawl a satisfying one.

Maintains a gripping intensity for its brief duration ; Return of twitcher necromorphs is welcome ; Characteristically excellent visuals and sound

Unsatisfying story ; Uses mostly recycled locations ; A bit overpriced at $7

Severed delivers more Dead Space combat, pure and simple, and that is no bad thing. This return to the Sprawl offers up a quick fix of action that maintains a high level of intensity and doesn't overstay its welcome. At $7, this desperate journey,...

But it's not to Severed's story that you should look for satisfaction; it's to the gameplay, which is sure to satiate your appetite for necromorph-fighting, limb-severing carnage, for a little while.
