Dead Space is Out! The Reviews Are In!


The Reviews!

Game Spot- 9.0
“An incredibly atmospheric and disturbingly gruesome deep-space adventure that will haunt your dreams and leave you begging for more.”

Game Informer- 9.25
“Dead Space is technically a survival horror game, but it should really be compared to motion picture juggernauts The Thing and Aliens, as it channels the essence of those films more than it does any other game. If horror is your forte, dim the lights, crank up the surround sound, and take the deepest breath you ever have. I think you’ll agree, no game has ever been this frightening.”

Daily Game- 8.8
“Dead Space, a new franchise and a new genre for EA, is downright incredible. The sci-fi game flirts with two genres, action and survival horror, and injects some much-needed intrigue to both. We've frankly grown tired of the "same old, same old," and Dead Space is anything but stale.”


UGO- A
“Dead Space is a stellar experience, one which should be enjoyable for fans of survival horror and third-person action alike. The game doesn’t really fit neatly into either category, instead straddling the two by delivering the heightened tension and horrifying ambience of the former alongside the run-and-gun splatterfest of the latter. In 2008’s too-crowded holiday release season, Dead Space distinguishes itself as one of the few essential pickups.”

IGN- 8.7
“Call it science fiction survival horror, but Dead Space does the genre proud with an engaging story; action that's tense, fast-paced and extremely violent; as well as atmospheric qualities that will get under your skin and make you jump…If you like survival horror, action or sci-fi, Dead Space needs to be on your radar.”

XboxDomain- 9.5
“Dead Space is a real treat. If you love story lines which include alien’s mixed with some horror, this game is for you. Dead Space ranks up there as one of the best single player experiences this year and must be played by every fan of the action/horror survival genre.”

Sarcastic Gamer- A+
“I have never played anything like Dead Space. There has not been a minute since the game arrived that I wasn’t feeling the pangs of desire to get back to it. It is a crown jewel in the horror/shooter genre, and many facets of its design will no doubt find implementations in future titles. From the opening moments, until it’s bitter end this is one game that over delivers on the hype that has surrounded it for over a year now.”

Unscripted 360- 9.3
“Dead Space is a freakishly disturbing game that makes hell seem like a day at camp. It looks great and has a deep enough story to keep you checking your video files and clues throughout just to uncover the truth. Did the game scare me? Yes. Did I survive? So far. Will I play this game again despite no multiplayer? Hell yeah. There were a lot of intense moments that EA managed to capture perfectly with a blend of quality sound and detailed environments. I’m already preparing myself for Dead Space 2.”

CHUD- 9.1
“…truly one of the best games of the year so far. It's got just the right mix of action and horror and playability to please any video game fan.
