StingingVelvet: Story is pretty decent but it's mostly atmosphere that kicks ass in Dead Space. I loved exploring the ship and seeing the creepy stuff, same in DS2 and the station. It's very immersive.
dyscode: This!
If you liked movies like Event Horizon or Aliens chances are you like this game. It can get repetitive after some time because a spaceship has only this much different rooms to offer, but the permanent uneasyness, the jump scares and the clautrophic feelings never go away. But if you suck at shooter this might be a problem, cause if you need to be on your toes to survive, with a good aim, or you easily run out of ammo and health packs. IMHO the second half of the game raises the difficulty level quite a bit. But I am also trying to play it a controller, I am not that good with controllers. Other than that, one of the better AAA franchises for sure.
Yeah, loved Aliens and Event Horizon was pretty good too =)
I might give it more time, or I'll just wait till the Trilogy pack comes out or something :D have enough games on my backlog as is (and mostly RPGs too, so it's gonna take a long time to go through it...)
