Dead Space is an epic redefinition of the horror-survival genere that will blow any thriller horror stuff you've ever played out of your ...ears.
the game takes place in the 25th century when earth has frayed and run short in resources so man has started looking up for deep space mining. Planet crackers are employed to crack open small planets meld them and mine up its resources. USG Ishumara is one of these massive planet crackers whos mission to pop the cork out of one of the planets in Aegis 7 system.
so you're a system engineer whos part of a repair team CEC sent to the the USG Ishumra after receiving a vague distress call. they thought it was just a busted comms array stereotypical issue but when you arrive their you find hell's gate has broken loose in terms of simply--all the crew of the ship have been mutated into nightmarish erratic creatures just when you realize you're caught up between this hellish nightmare that Ishumra has become. reasons unknown but once you start digging through the game gathering up clues and putting pieces together you discover the ultimate shocking truth.
letal devotion, talks about new religion, betrayal, and plans to wipe out the human race, this what this freaking twisted story has to offer. its way edge-of-your-seat thrill that I was dedicated to for about a month.
gameplay was a total fun, form using of kenisis to remotely move objects to statis that slows down time it blew my mind. since you're space you 'll find yourself alot in ZERO-G areas and the navigation in zero-g was way fun ofcourse using Isaac's gravity boots but the most insanely kickass part here was that you wont have to resort to the old shoot-at-the-head style to take down your enemies, simply you'll have to DISMEMBER them cut off their LIMBS how do you like that now?
your enemies are called Necromorphs, basically they are mutated dead bodies infected by some kind of bacterial-like virus that once inside, it instantly alter the dead flesh and rearrange the dead guy organs structure turning him into a scary weird ass walking alien zombie.
the game stylized graphics is equally as kickass or even more. the game immerse you inside some kind of creepy gothic atmosphere all the way long . its really an atmospheric living nightmare but on the other side of it you will be enchanted by the mind blowing spectacular view of the planets in the deep dark space. it was really charming that sometimes I had to pause the game and gaze into this mysterious beauty.
I mean what can be more creepy than you always bump into three-armed octopus-like mutated badass INFANTS!. Devs are way sick minded and all this sickness flushed out of them into the game, they even had to study car victims bodies to get the clear anatomical picture!
most of my moments with this game were standard wtf moments e.g. I hear a loud defining girl laugh that shivered the hell out of the back of my neck, I bust in find a girl holding a gun then blow her head off!! circumstances I've put myself into helped alot, I always hit it up playing after midnight with lights shut down, so my 19' lcd and 4-piece sound system can take it over from there. I once literally jumped off my seat with my heart pumping rate hitting the max. I mean for heavy centered guy like me, thats quite something!
One shortcoming I had to disgrace Devs for , it will literally wreck your NERVOUS SYSTEM break it down shatter it crush it up blow it off.
starting the moment you finish the game, you'll feel like your adrenaline is no longer tripped as like before.
after I've beaten the game, it easily gets my vote for the most FREAK-THE-F-OUT-OF game ever!
in short EPIC and must-play to any horror loving dude...or girl maybe.
