pretty good game

instead of a horror/psychological game like dead space 1 and 2 it's a shooter, it's also meant to be played in co-op mode; specific missions and lore will be missed in a single player run through. if you want to curb stomp the bejeezus out of mutated nightmare humans this is the game for you. musics pretty good, the plot is pretty good, but you do need to play co-op to get the full picture of it, so keep that in mind. it's rather enjoyable all things considered.

Awesome shooter!!!

“Are you kidding me?!” I repeated those words a thousand times and more, playing developer Visceral Games’ third installment of the Dead Space series. For those who've played the previous two you’ll find familiar atmosphere, returning weapons, a smooth continuation of unluckiest-engineer-ever Isaac Clarke’s story, as well as some old and new foes to dismember - including humans this time. For those without prior experience in the Dead Space universe, I recommend getting properly prepared. Lights off, volume up, and a couple changes of pants nearby for repeated crapping out of fear and sheer awesomeness.
Up until this latest iteration the Dead Space series has always been more of a survival horror genre, giving the player a claustrophobic sense of isolation. But this time Isaac is a hardened alien-slaying bad-ass with the ability to use the workbench to fully customize and create increasingly diverse and powerful weapons. While this is admittedly pretty sweet, some of the horror is reduced by the player becoming so empowered. For newcomers to the series part of the scariness comes from the fact that it seems like you’re always outnumbered and outgunned, and your opponents don’t die from typical head-shots but from dismembering limbs. It takes a little bit to get used to when every other FPS out there pits you against opponents with more-or-less human anatomy. Ultimately however, that’s what this game is: a shooter. It’s a shooter with a neck-tingling environment, a chilling Lovecraftian story, and bizarre monsters, but it’s still a shooter. It’s just not the same pure survival horror that its predecessors were.
If you’re looking for what Aliens: Colonial Marines should have been – the perfect blend of horror and action – then this is the game for you. It’s like what I imagine the lovechild of Resident Evil 6 and the movie Aliens would be. Except less face-huggers. With no HUD, breathtaking graphics, and subtly chilling score, it will draw you in and keep you on edge the entire time. It’s an incredibly huge change of pace from the brightly lit and shiny FPS that are wildly popular, where you generally run around as a soldier on a mostly tan map shooting other soldiers with assault rifles and rocket launchers. The only times where the immersive experience is lost is when you have to run around doing much-hated fetch quests (surprise!). The sense of being hunted becomes something more akin to being harassed and enemies suddenly jumping out of vents stops being scary after a few times… even if almost every encounter made me jump ten feet in the air.
I had a lot of fun playing this game, and I had just as much fun watching the reaction of my friends’ when they played. Only the most jaded of gamers could think that Dead Space 3 is anything short of awesome. Even though the campaign is only about 12 hours long, there is a co-op mode that offers unique missions and requires a different strategy to be successful. That, combined with all the possible weapon customizations on the newly revamped workbench to experiment with, and you’ve got hours and hours of fun on your hands. If you want buck-for-buck value on your gaming experience, then this gem is worth every penny. 4/5 Stars. Easily.Read full review...

Great Series!

The Dead Space series is very fun and suspenseful. These games made me jump more than any other game I've played. If you like sci-fi mixed with horror, you need to play these games!

The story sucked. The game play was below average. Bleh.

I played and enjoyed the first two Dead Space games in the series. I was excited when I saw the trailer for Dead Space 3 and hurriedly bought it when I had the chance. How disappointing. The story was horrible, in fact I could even go as far as saying "what story?". It was continues killing of necros. The game play was boring, and repetitive. Basically all you do is run around some wrecked space ships and shoot the same 3 monsters for 1/2 the game, you might get lucky and get a snip bit of story action (sarcasm: there is no story), but honestly don't count on it. 2nd half of the game was even worse. Do yourself a favor, if you like the dead space series skip this one, and wait for EA to make up for this flop in the next installment.Read full review...
