bit-tech Shopping: Electronic Arts Dead Space

Rating: 10

Time with product: 3 Days

Strengths: Lots of weapons and upgrades

Weaknesses: Not as intense as Bioshock

Summary: If you like Re4(resident evil 4), you will like this game. This game have same shoulder angle point of view as Re4 except one difference.In Deadspace, you can actually aim and move left and right, to back and front. So I would say this is improve version of RE4 when it comes down to combat system. Also this game reminds me, doom(places kinda dark and you just have to keep looking for the monster to kill). Graphics are very detailed when it comes down to chopping down there arms, heads, legs, and body(you will see a lot of blood just keep pumping all over the place). Everything turns out really good on this game except one thing, Background. I guess this is the flaw of this game.Backgrounds are basically inside the spaceship so places mostly looks same and feels same

Strengths: Spooky environment, sound effects

Weaknesses: Weapon upgrade system copied from RE4.

Summary: It's surprising that EA has made a pretty good game that I get back to it for more. One thing I'm most impressed about it is its amazing sound effects. There are moments where it gives you chill down your spine. Another plus is when you open inventory menu, it shows up without leaving the main screen and you can move around while it is still open. Although storyline is quite similar to Doom 3, there are some new game-play and ideas;well worth the money.

Strengths: Great graphics, incredible sound, eerie setting.

Weaknesses: May be a bit too easy on Medium.

Summary: I wasn't going to get this because it was single player only, but I'm glad that I did. It will offer around 15-20 hours of game-play from what the Gamespot website says. The graphics are top notch and sounds of metal bars and banging sets a creepy setting for the player. The smoke and lighting effects are great. If you liked Bioshock and Resident Evil 4, you will like this game. I found that the medium setting so far through the first level is a bit too easy and there are numerous save spots throughout the level. There are definitely those shock moments were did monsters pop up all of a sudden off the floor and they jump out of the walls. I highly recommend this game for anyone that really enjoys sci-fi survival horror.

Strengths: Errie Setting. fantastic Foes. Immersive gameplay.

Weaknesses: Lacks a little character

Summary: Dead Space is a great straight combat horror game. It has a good setting that's eerilly immersive. The creatues are like something from John Carpenters Thing. The combat is bloody, the creatures fierce, and there's always soemthing lurking around a corner.If I ahve any qualm, the game lacks character. the hero is kind a walking Big Daddy. The communication is throught eh typical doom/bioshock find logs or hear recordings. But that's a nagging problem ona great game.
