Today's Bonus:
This game has been out for quite some time now but I've only recently had the pleasure of playing it and I can gladly say it was a fantastic experience.
The story begins simply as the game places your character, Isaac Clark, on a mysteriously deserted space station to investigate what happened. Of course things go horribly wrong and he ends up isolated on the station with a slew of parasitic aliens called necromorphs standing between him and escape. There is also a psychological twist as Isaac begins to hallucinate more and more as the game progresses.
The graphics are top-notch with high level of detail in both the environment and characters with no punches pulled on the gore effects. Minor details like the health meter being a part of the suit and the inventory screen floating in front of your character remove unnecessary HUD clutter that plagues games like Assassin's Creed and helps to make the game more immersive.
The sound in this game also impresses. The faint echo of an enemy walking through a vent in some distant pipe or of a demented man repeatedly hitting his head off of a wall can be quite disturbing thanks to the quality effects. The soundtrack is basically adequately creepy and doesn't really stand out but that's more than compensated for the effects made when crunching the bones and exploding the heads of your enemies.
Gameplay in Dead Space is excellent. More than a standard third person shooter, Dead Space gives you a variety of interesting guns to sever the limbs of your enemies. More damage is inflicted when severing the limbs of necromorphs adding a unique layer of strategy to encounters. The basic plasma cutter weapon, for example, can fire both horizontal and vertical shots to strategically aim at specific enemy body parts. Other weapons, like the cutter that shoots a floating saw blade in front of you for a few seconds, are less precise but very fun to wield. Exploring the environment is also a treat due to the ship's constantly changing unique atmosphere.
Summarily, Dead Space is an exciting and often terrifying thrill ride with tight third person shooter gameplay. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a game with an expansive creepy environment, elusively terrifying enemy encounters, or just good old third person shootin'.When I bought this item I thought it would be in english but to my surprise it was in french. ThanxI bought this for my brothers birthday and he was happy with it so it was a great buy in my opinion.
