Dead Space: Get ready to experience the new world of Horror in EA's Survival Horror game.

Get ready to experience terror in a dark and grisly way in EA's first installment in the Dead Space series. While Resident Evil and Silent Hill remain as one of the most popular Horror games for several years and Resident Evil is getting better reviews over its rival which is the Silent Hill series. EA is about to make any gamer squirm on their seat like a person who squirms watching a Horror movie in this highly anticipated and critically acclaimed game Dead Space. You could never know that this game seriously became popular back in 2008 and has spawned two sequels which is "Dead Space 2" and "Dead Space 3" along with the Dead Space prequel for the Nintendo Wii and now on PS3 when you get the collector's edition of Dead Space 2 for PS3 titled "Dead Space Extraction" which acts as a prequel to the series and takes place at the exact same time as the animated Horror film and prequel to the game as well which is titled "Dead Space: Downfall" and it was also released with another Dead Space animated film that acts as a sequel to the first game and acts as a prequel to Dead Space 2 titled "Dead Space: Aftermath". Back in 2008 at E3 this game was nominated and won also for several awards for its atmosphere, gameplay, sound editing and its Horror as well. Reviews of the game were positive. When I started playing the first game I ended up becoming amazed with it and the game was just damn scary and I was so freaked out over the whole game and I was amazed with all of the ideas that EA had in mind with the game from the story to the basic concept and gameplay as well.

For the most part this is such a fun and enjoyable survival Horror game and if you love Resident Evil or Silent Hill then you will definitely enjoy this game a lot more. But unlike Resident Evil where you must survive and kill a lot of zombies and mutated people and Silent Hill which you have to run or fight gallons of monsters in the foggy town of Silent Hill then Dead Space is about running and surviving an infected Alien outbreak and you have to use weapons to kill every Alien but like Resident Evil or Silent Hill where you use different objects or firearms to kill every monster then Dead Space includes weapons that you've never seen before on any Survival Horror game. I just enjoy the basic idea of this game and the execution is so damn scary and  the game has a lot of suspense and it keeps also the tension from being in the wheel and EA normally just do their best in creating this game and they seriously did a good job with the ideas of this game and the whole game is nonstop on everything from the Horror to the suspense of the game and the game is full of gore and graphic violence that can satisfy any Horror fan. Anyways lets start the review by starting first from the basic plot. We all know that in Horror movies about a basic plot like this. Dead Space is the story of a crew who visits the Ishimura for repairs after receiving calls from the ship where all the workers including the protagonist Isaac Clarke soon discovered the Horror that lurks in the Ishimura and soon the crew must escape the Ishimura before they all get killed.

I did enjoy the basic plot of the game and the concept of it being in outer space is just great and it keeps the Horror genre on the top and I never knew that this is one of the best ideas in the game and I also consider it as one of the best Survival Horror games ever made and I'm definitely sure that it will keep all the fans of Horror interested and people who love a lot of Horror games are definitely gonna enjoy this game as well. After a short introduction the tension rises throughout the game and it gets higher and higher and it keeps the player on the edge of their seat thanks to its rising suspense and tension which keeps gamers freaked out a lot and EA is super smart in making suspense and tension throughout the whole game and the jump scares are effective and well used throughout the game also the other good things about this game is that the whole game has an enormous amount of atmosphere that gives the game an eerie feel and I like how the developers managed to use some atmosphere from Ridley Scott's Alien which is just great for the game. And seriously the atmosphere is eerie as hell and it makes you feel and think that something is about to pop out and you have to kill it quickly before it kills you. The whole game totally send shivers down my own spine and all the scares are just effective and the atmosphere is brooding and eerie which gives the game a dark and creepy feel and it also makes you feel scared and that idea is just great for one reason and I'm happy with all of the ideas a lot on this game.

While those are the first things I like about the game the second thing I like about the game is that the whole game has a lot of impressive settings and all of the outer space settings on the outside is impressive and full of atmosphere even the Ishimura ship itself looks wonderful and it was a smart idea for the Ishimura ship to be a really big ship which keeps the game's tension and suspense a lot and the ship's design is so big and most areas of the game is full of atmosphere while some are full of suspense and disturbing sequences. My personal favorite setting of the game is the food storage because the atmosphere in that part is just creepy and scary at the same time. I also enjoy the game's monster designs that feels like a monster from Ridley Scott's Alien or other Horror films that were from the 70's and 80's. The game is very tense and thrilling and all of the creatures are so damn scary from the Necrophorms to the other aliens in the game and the Necrophorms are very similar to zombies where you just combine some zombie and alien elements and you have the Necrophorm. I also like the idea that most of the monsters are super big and the Hive monster is probably one of the best monsters in the whole game and it was so huge and super scary at the exact same time I remember how I fought that monster in the last part of the game and it got me on the edge of my seat and I was so damn freaked out about that monster and it was such a great idea for the last part of the game a lot. Plus the gameplay is super fun as well and the third person gameplay is even better than how Resident Evil 4 and 5's gameplay did and the gameplay is just pure fun and full of entertainment I also like how you can just dismember enemies rather than just going through the quick head shots and the game's gameplay is totally sheer on the gore and brutality and it was pretty impressive overall and I had a fun time with it a lot. I also enjoy the characters especially Isaac Clarke. The character of Isaac Clarke is just great and I like how EA had the idea that he's introduced first as a mute protagonist where the character of Isaac Clarke doesn't have any dialogue from start to finish until in the sequels he has the ability to talk and Isaac not speaking in the first game until he starts to talk from Dead Space 2 and 3 is just impressive and Isaac is one of the best protagonists in Horror video games. The other characters were also likable like Doctor Kyne who is a great and likable character throughout the game. Hammond was also a great protagonist and Kendra is a great character throughout the game and it was totally unexpected that she's an antagonist because you may have thought that she's a good girl and she'll survive with Isaac until you discovered that she's a bad person and that was a smart idea a lot and Kendra may not be aggresive as the next antagonists in Dead Space 2 and 3 but she's a great antagonist in this game overall she's just not as aggresive as the next two antagonists from Dead Space 2 and 3 but overall all of the characters are well developed through the game. Overall Dead Space is a fun Horror game that delivers the Horror, Suspense, Tension and Atmosphere and it is a great idea for this kind of game a lot and I just enjoy the basic style of Dead Space a lot and the execution is so impressive.
