Default Dead Space

I picked up a copy and I noticed no one really put anything up about it.

My personal opinion? It's frickin' crazy sometimes. I play with the lights off and a headset for sound to pretty much engross myself into the experience. Visually, very nice. Plot ain't too bad, but it's hard to be attached to the character you play as's motive when he doesn't speak a word in the game at all aside from grunts and yells. Gameplay is very reminiscent to Resident Evil although doing a great job of utilizing enemy dismemberment as a necessity, since cutting heads off of creatures does not kill them and can cause the enemies to mutate into much bigger problems.

Zero gravity is an interesting gameplay aspect, and running out in open space while being dependent on an air tank is super creepy when all you hear is nothing but your breathing. Sound is phenomenal, and it's in 5.1 which makes for a creepier experience when you hear screeches behind you and you frantically turn around to try and find where the hell it's all coming from.

I like it, and I hope it's satisfying to finish.

Your thoughts?
