Game Review: Dead Space

I tryed out Dead Space for the first time New Years night. I have to say the game is freaky! I won't give much story but I will give you the fight details.

Basicly you have a minning tool for a gun. It shoots out plasma blasts in a shape, you can upgrade to get different shapes as well as upgrade damage, ammo count and reload capacity.

I honestly liked to swing it around like a club more then shoot stuff. You get some cool powers like the ability to freeze time and levetate objects.

Getting killed takes on a whole new meaning, as your lifebar depleats (as indicated on a lightbar on your spine) you can get latched on to and have to slam the X button to kick them off you.

I would consider this a zombie game because the infection takes over humans and is what I would consider alien. Tho it seems as if the infection can spread to humans that have already died and isent somthing you get from bites but more of a seed planted in your body.

Shooting the limbs off of them and curb stomping them when they are down is the best way to take them out.

The freak out factor is up there to. I jumped at least a dozen times in the first hour of the game. Zombies I thought I killed jumped back up to kick my ass, ones that lay motionless on the floor moments before also suddenly came to life and opened a can of whoop as on me.

I suggest playing it in a dark room with no one else around for the best performance.

I give Dead Space a 8 out of 10. Good game, thank you EA.
