After finishing Dead Space, i realized why i loved it so much: the horror was grand, the violence was blissful, and to top it all off Isaac was actually a guy whom i could relate to. However i did find a few things to be a bit well, annoying as all get out, which i will go into with deep detail. Anyhoo onward to the my first blog and first review...



Oh yeah and there will probably be some SPOILERS so be careful where you tread young reader.




Lets begin with the best parts of the game:

Easily Dead Space is an amazing survival horror. It has all the right makes of one:

-eerie atmosphere with a peppering of clostrophobia in certain areas.

-intelligent enemies who will stop at nothing to kill you (in interesting ways mind you), in which a simple headshot will not suffice.

-an interesting interface with a unique sense of style not yet seen in the genre.

-a good storyline that breaks the "codes" of some horror genre stereo-types, but embraces others.

-and of course, scarce weapons/ammo/health items in accordance with the overdose of enemies waiting to catch your lead with their faces (or in this case appendages)


Now that we've got the sweet sugar, lets pour some anger onto it.


one of my biggest issues with Dead Space was the quarantine rooms. To me they seemed to be just simple filler/ life ruiners. For example, after the USG Valor crashes into the Ishimura and you run into your first set of "tweakers" (they're those fast ones, i dunno they seemed like speed addicts to me), the game becomes a frustration fest. These fast buggers make life near impossible in the quarantine rooms, i mean can i get an amen from anyone who tried the game on med/hard? A room filled up with those damned preggers, sabertoothed scorpions, and those fetus freaks is tough enough. BUT NO!! lets make it a tad bit more problematic with these twitchy junkies thrown into the mixer with you. it should be a fun time had by all!! : D WRONG. OH SO WRONG. But still these rooms could have been done without i mean seriously, after the first few i was so done with these damn quarantine lockdowns. but they follow all the way to the last damned chapter. fheck.

Another thing i found to be a bit on the annoying, was how everyone in the game made poor Issac do everything. Oh excuse me, i guess he didnt have to open EVERY door or pull back a ship. CZJ (Cosmic Zombie Jew) forbid Issac would have to flip a switch or two. But seriously it was one fetch quest after another followed by a trip on the tram then the same thing again. I'm all about fetching crud for a while.. But I would rather be telling myself to get it, not some lazy bitch behind a computer or at least feel more rewarded for doing so.

Oh and the darker necromorphs, yeah they suck at life.


But other than those small things, i must say i enjoyed the game throughly.. Too bad for EA cuz i want Animal Crossing: City Folk so bad i traded it for credit. I'm an addict and i need halp.

oh and one mooore thing.. as i said in the title this is my post, so:

if it sucks- my bad, i'll try harder next time.

If it rocked your socks- my bad, i'll try harder next time.
