This can be used in a lot of different ways to make you survive tougher encounters. There is also the kinesis module, which allows you to remotely control objects. Sometimes, you will enter vacuum areas, where you need to hurry due to a limited oxygen capability, or zero-gravity areas, where you have to manipulate gravity to get from point A to B. There will also be a few different game modes. There is a great variety in guns and weapons to give it a sense of variety without feeling repetitive. You get plenty of weapons to deal with the aliens, and you always need to approach specific enemy types more carefully than others. In Dead Space, however, shooting off a creature's limbs is what gets the job done most efficiently. Usually, a head-shot does the job just fine. Isaac's sound effects (whether from being low on oxygen or health) gives yet another layer of tension and immersion to make the player unsettled.ĭead Space takes a more unique approach to the entire cncept of modern shooters. The sounds coming from the aliens themselves are also impressive, as they all sound creepy enough to make you uncomfortable when being chased. The sound of floors bursting open or ventilation shafts breaking gives a lot of tension at all the right times. The lightning effects from the sun especially hold up well by today's standards.Īll this is only further highlighted by its amazing sound design. The game itself also has a lot of great lightning effects that help increase the level of atmosphere. But since Isaac almost never takes his helmet off, those flaws are easy to forgive. It is easier to see that the graphics have dated a bit when you meet other humans in the game, as their facial expressions are more familiar with what we usually see in other games. And the death scenes in those games are some of the most brutally violent stuff you will find in a video game.Īs I said, the graphics are still pretty impressive, though better graphics are very easy to come by today. It is not a particularly original or mind-blowing twist, but it works just fine for this story.Īs for the story itself, Dead Space takes a lot of inspiration from the Alien franchise, with its highly aggressive alien creatures attacking you and your crew.
There is a fine twist in the end, which I will not give away. You quickly find out that things are not as they should be, and from there on, it's up to you, playing as Isaac, to get away from the station alive. There is a certain sense of suspense and mystery surrounding the space station that Isaac and his crew are stranded on. Aesthetically, Dead Space is a pure masterpiece, since its graphics still hold up relatively well. Then you would more or less have Dead Space. Imagine having Resident Evil 4's gameplay style, tweaked a little to make it its own, and ut it in System Shock 2's setting. The graphics are amazing for its time, the gameplay is cool and a lot of fun, the atmosphere is amazing, and the pacing is just about perfect. There is not a very big selection of PS3 games to choose from at the moment (good ones), but this is truly outstanding and I cannot recommend it high enough.Order without delay!ĭead Space is a brave first entry in what is now one of the best franchises to come out in the 7th generation. Whether or not you are a fan of survival horror, or not, this game will be a worthwhile addition to your collection. I forgot about everything around me and was immersed from the very beginning. This game gives the word 'interactive' new meaning. It builds tension to the extent that I have to pause the game and take a break. You really feel that you are lost, abandoned and alone in space in a ship infested by deformed humans and other not so human.
DEAD ISLAND 2 PS3 AMAZON SKIN
The visuals are brilliant and the sound effects will make your skin crawl. It will scare the living daylights out of you - whether day or night. A word of advice - sort our your movements and get familiar with the controls before you enter the Ishimura.This game is absolutely fantastic. The controls are quite tricky - and this proved fatal within the first few minutes of the game as I was killed repeatedly. I was a bit overwhelmed after I started playing. I bought this game having read no reviews at all. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 March 2009
