Deadspace innovates the shooter scene, a masterful merging of sci-fi and horror with a gun/aim twist on the status quo.
I think dead space has carved itself a name right next to the likes of half life as the top two shooters of all time.
This is because they decided to not be standard and make another military shooting ak47/m16 game.
They diversified the experience by going with a new weapon system and dismembering horror in a sci-fi scheme.
I can imagine them pushing this in the boardroom before ds1 inception and people laughing at the idea, but it went together beautifully.
While It may not be a huge innovation over the first, I think the first was so innovative in itself people just wanted to repeat the experience, and the storyline was great.
I just played through on zealot and i found it thoroughly challenging, I also feel that Gamespot got the dis on the storyline wrong because it was great.
Perhaps the gamespot staff reviewing this has been playing too many roleplay games and has forgotten what makes a shooter innovative, fun and satisfying.
10/10 Thanks EA.
