Awesome boss fights and thrilling action that will satisfy your thirst for blood. A "must have" for your collection.
You will never get bored on this game, not even for a minute. There are no annoying moments like those when you don't know what to do next, though you'll face some smooth and fun brain challenges that gives balance, prevents the monotony, mix nicely with the constant scary action of the game and fits perfectly with the storyline.
Boss fights are, in a single word, perfect. You'll really get the feeling of being fighting a boss from a classic arcade game. It really brought back some good memories to me. Maybe the only blemish about the boss fights is that the final boss could've been more challenging. (Note: Don't worry, you can keep reading, I never include spoilers in my reviews.).
Weapons and melee attacks are awesome. Regarding melee attacks, it's amazing how a simple and solid foot step can give so much satisfaction for the gamer who's holding the vibrating control; it's like crushing cockroaches. About weapons, all of them are great and varied, so you can choose the ones that fits better to your battle strategy (you can carry up to 4 different weapons). The weapon's upgrade system gives Dead Space one more good reason to play it.
Graphics and game sound are awesome. The natural darkness of the game also helps to give the game better looks. Sound is as astounding as graphics and goes well with the ambience they try to create. There's not really much more to say about this subject; you'll have to play the game for yourself if you want to find out exactly what I mean when I give a good note to Dead Space's graphics and sound.
Gameplay just couldn't be better. At the beginning you might think the camera will be a little tricky, but it's not, and you'll get used to it only in a few minutes. Aiming system is smooth and precision is, to put it in a few words, 'physically logic'. To take off enemies extremities with a powerful shot of your gun is very rewarding and you'll never get tired of it.
This game is so good, that even dying is part of the fun. There are some enemies that kills you in a specific way that is so brutal and bloody that you'll be happy about it. I mean it, you won't even get mad when you die.
Another good thing of Dead Space is that you'll find plenty enough save points. You won't have to worry when you face a hard battle scene without a save point nearby, because, if you get killed, the game will reload right before that battle scene starts and sometimes even in the middle of it.
There is a lot of neat stuff about this game, more nice little details in it, but you'll have to play it yourself to see what I'm trying to tell you.
Game is not very long. It will take you from 15 to 20 hours to finish it if you play it with no rush, but you'll want to play it all over again once you've finished it.
If you want to play a good looking game full of blood, violence and brutality, Dead Space must be your choice. I strongly recommend it.
Thanks for reading.
