Dead Space

Dead Space is EA's new survival horror game. It centers around an engineer named Isaac Clarke who is on a mission along with fellow soldiers Kendra and Hammond from the Kellion (ship). Their mission is to find out what happened on board the Ishimura (Planet Cracker Ship) after receiving a distress call from one of the people stationed on it.



Obviously, being a survival horror game, EA had to set the right mood; the kind that makes you afraid to go to sleep at night. They sort of grasped that concept; the HUD was limited to Isaac's computer and rig but the Necromorphs (Living Dead of The game) were not as scary as I'd hoped. The music on the other hand, gives you that feeling that makes you wanna jump outta your seet.



The gameplay is superb. Killing the Necromorphs is somewhat tricky; you have to cut off their limbs in order to kill them. That can be frustrating at times but for fans of horror that can be amusing. The bosses in the game weren't as challenging as I'd hoped and were limited to a few bosses considering the game consists of 12 chapters.





I'm not sure if there's gonna be a Dead Space 2 but judging by the ending I think it's safe to say that EA won't just ignore the idea.
