Well said, Garrett.
I finally got a chance last night to sit down with Dead Space for a little while, and it’s pretty great. There are a lot of familiar elements here—horror and violence, surrounded by darkness, alone and confused, et cetera—but the unique game design makes those common elements work really well. The weapons are very strange and fun, and the whole idea of dismembering enemies rather than just shooting randomly adds challenge and makes the game harder.
Visually, the game is great. Its audio, however, is the winner here. The sound work in this game adds so much depth and makes it so much more frightening. I only played for an hour or two, but I was hooked.
highly seconded.
Well said, Garrett.
