What our customer's say!

"Sucks you in, keeps you playing", First, I should address that my notebook plays everything but EA games. Something about them. I can run Fallout 3, Oblivion, The Witcher all fine, but Crysis, Dead Space will not run.

I had to put it on my tower. I've got an AMD 4X2.6ghz Black Edition with 4g of ram and a Samphire HD card with 512 DDR3.

The game loads fast, plays clean with all video settings on high. The only thing is I lower the resolution to 1280X800 because teh 1440X900 native res of my monitor makes the mouse feel sluggish. But that's not the graphics, that the mouse tracking. The lower your resolution the faster your mouse will track.

The game unfolds like a movie, but in good way. The story leaves you separated from your shipmates on a space station where something horrible has happened. You need to power up the station, get parts and fix the ship -- but that's just not going to happen.

The main thing you'll see is no HUD. The screen is always just the game, your "life" is the blue fluid on your back, when it goes down you are dying.

The only issue I have is the limitation of powering up. The set-up is very much like Bioshock, you collect credits and use vending machines to buy things you need, then you collect parts and upgrade your weapons at work-benches. But either I'm not good at it or there's few parts.

Basically the game lets you be as strong as it wants you to be, but you have some control over which weapons is strongest and if you invest in weapons or armor. You Also have some say in the level up -- like more oxygen or stronger defense? But, there's a set number of enemies to fight so you can't build your levels like an RPG.

The limited control the game gives you to level up is the most frustrating thing. Otherwise the game feels like a cross between FEAR and Bioshock -- that's not a bad thing.

But this is a story as much as a game, you watch and participate, but you never really take control.

"What???????????", Will not play for me and now I have a $50 game that I can not return. This extra copy protection is crashing my system! Why not make these games with out all the garbage????

"Immersive play makes this captivating", First, for all the whining about DRM and SecureBlahBlahBlah, I have not had a single problem with install or running it. Of course, I haven't tried un-installing it yet, so who knows? :)

But the game is AWESOME, it pulls you in like watching a movie, and the details as you explore the ship are well thought out. All the Decks have extensive unique details, and the holographic overlay when you review your inventory or get video messages is brilliant!

If there is any complaint, the controls seemed to be sluggish, but I suspect that is by design since as your character gets weak, his aim degrades, he moves slower, and he starts gasping and bitching more.

For the BEST experience, put on a pair of headphones when you play. The ambient sounds are excellent and there are some soft voices that you won't really understand without a headset.


"Amazing atmosphere and a lot of fun", A well-designed horror-sci-fi shooter with some remarkable Hitchcock-esque tension on a regular basis. It has been quite a while since a game has made me jump the way this one has. Even some of my favorites (System Shock 2, Bioshock) didn't do as good a job with the startling moments the way Dead Space does.

Despite its very non-PC control scheme the game controls well once you get used to it. In fact it is probably the first time since Tomb Raider that I have felt like I could control a 3rd person character as well as a first-person.

An exceptional game.

"DRM WTF?! Oh, well. Dead Space rules. ", So this game is packin' SecuRom. Guess what? So did Crysis, and I have both of these games. The result? No problems. Yet. So, instead, I'd write what I like about the game, not some stupid DRM scheme that dosen't work.

As anyone well knows, the guys who made this game wanted to make one of the scariest experiences this side of RE. In some respects, they succeeded. What makes this game what it is might well change the face of Survival Horror games for a while. Case in point, no HUD. With no HUD in game, it keeps you immersed like no other has yet.

The key to this game is dismemberment, which of course means avoiding the head, if you will. Instead, aim for everything else, then go for their head, or if you have the proper "tool", slice them in half.

Another nice touch to this game, the weaponry, or lack thereof. In fact, the only true weapon you can buy is a Pulse Rifle. Every other weapon in the game could be considered a mining tool, from the (iconic) Plasma Cutter, Line Gun, or even the Force Gun.

The only true downside of Dead Space on the PC (besides the aforementioned SecuRom) is the mouse control. Even on it's highest sensitivity, it is quite sluggish, except for the areas where you man the turret. However, Dead Space supports gamepads, such as the XUSB controller I have, and it works fine.

If you want something that'll make you jump time and time again, pick up Dead Space. And also, give the story some time. It gets good, especially if you've seen the prequel stories.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Great game plagued with poor controls.", I'll steer clear from all the Securom talk and just focus on the game itself, but just to state that I didn't have any issues installing or running the game and the game hasn't crashed once.

Dead Space is a very good game. The story line is really well done and the game play is done well too. It's pretty scary throughout the game and I never found it boring. There are some neat areas where they do things with zero gravity, and the ability to slow things down.

Sadly though the game has some horrible controls. Maybe it'll be patched, but at the moment the mouse controls are just super sluggish. It seems like they did a really bad port of the console version. There are some work arounds by turning off VSYNC in the video options of the game and then maxing the mouse sensitivity. For the most part that fixes a lot of the mouse issues, but it's still a little sluggish in some areas like around corners.

I chose to play the game on medium difficulty because of this. I didn't want to get overly frustrated with mouse aiming on a more challenging difficulty. It's been a lot of fun and since it's not on extra hard difficulty I don't have to try swinging around and hitting 10 mobs at a time which is good.

The game also plays a lot like Bioshock in the ability to customize your character. You can upgrade your armor and weapons how you see fit (damage, capacity, armor, hitpoints, etc.) Another unique aspect is the ability to shoot the limbs off all the mobs. The game revolves around this (shooting legs out to slow enemies down, shooting heads off, etc.)

Overall the game is fantastic. If I had known beforehand, I would have picked this up for the 360 or PS3, but even though the controls are lacking, I had a blast playing it and would recommend people to try it out.

"Must Have Scare Fest!", Ignore the 1 star reviews. Its just complaining about secureROM. Every single one of them. The PS3 and XBOX360 versions got 4.6 stars. That is a more accurate representation. Yeah secureROM sucks, but so do pirates and they are the reason we have to put up with secureROM. Give them bad reviews, not this awesome game!

I have played both PS3 and PC versions. I like the PC version the best. Nothing beats sitting in a dark room alone with the surround sound cranked and your face 2 feet from the screen!

The atmosphere the developers create is amazing. I was more scared in anticipation than from actual enemies. They really build the tension well.

It runs great! I get consistant 100 - 200 FPS @ 1680x1050 with an Intel E8400 @ 3.6GHz, an XFX 8800GT and 4GB PC6400 RAM. Smooth as butter. The setting in the game default to vsync which locks the frame rate at 30, similar to the console versions. Just disable that and your good.

This game is a must have. Its brillianlty designed and intense. The combat is something I've never seen. Its a nice change of pace from typical shooters. Buy it, you won't regret it.

"A Heartbeat in the Void", Every time I find myself taking a sudden gasp at how much more amazing games get, it seems the next one is even more breathtaking than the last.
I love horror games, but it takes a lot to scare me. Dead Space has shown the potential to do just that.
In this science fiction horror tale, you are one of a small crew sent to repair a vessel that sent a distress call and then fell silent. When you arrive, you quickly find yourself trapped on board the ship, separated from your crew members, and wishing to god the ship were a derelict. Instead, something horrible has happened to the crew: in a nod to John Carpenter's remake of "The Thing", these shambling once-human monstrosities resemble human beings turned inside out. Even worse is the gruesome knowledge that they won't stop crawling after you...until you dismember them.
What makes the game great is that as it goes on, the story grows: you pick up new abilities, and you can collect "power-ups", if you will, and upgrade your equipment. Its unusual "over-the-shoulder" 3rd-person perspective keeps you clinging to your seat as you slowly peer around each corner.
Dead Space has an excellent interface, both making it very easy to interact with the environment and very immersive when you access item pickups and save points. It also boasts the best use I've seen of an in-game "HUD" system, cleanly overlaying information in a way that makes it seem projected from your helmet without taking you out of the action.
Unfortunately, when I installed Dead Space, my DVD-RW drive started making a worrisome "gronking" sound--it actually reminded me of the way a floppy drive used to sound. I'm having problems with my drive running slower now, and once I came here and found that this is yet another SecuROM title, I realized with dismay that I have been rootkitted.
I'm sorry, EA. I'm sorry you feel the need to treat me like a criminal. I can't believe I paid you to do so. I don't agree with your idea that if I pay for something, I don't actually own it, nor do I feel you have any right to hack my computer--for that is exactly what you have done. Finally, I am sorry to say that I guess after 20-odd years, this is where we part ways.

"Worth playing through multiple times...", Pros:
*Good Graphics - Runs perfect on all high for me (average gaming computer)
*Fun Game play - Uh, you are supposed to cut off their limbs? Definition: Fun.
*Unlockables - They make playing the game more than once worth it!
*Creepy parts - yes, they exist in this game. scurry.

Cons:
*Short game? - Kind of short for my tastes -_-
*Bosses - how about a different way to fight a boss maybe? no? fine.
*The ending? - i thought it was very anticlimactic.
*Achievements please? - Would be nice, wouldn't it?

Summary:
Dark and spooky (at least the first time around). I wish there was more types of monsters to attack, the bosses were a little harder, the story was longer, etc etc. In the end: I am glad i purchased this game and I'd do it again if i had the choice. Very fun; very, very, very ;).

:(SIDE NOTE TO THOSE RATING THE GAME LOW BECAUSE YOU CANT INSTALL IT):
Please, if you have problems using your computer then don't use:
1. Vista
2. A computer
3. Electronics in general?

"Up's and down's. Mostly up's.", Down's.
Be prepared to buy a consul controller (I use a wireless X-box 360), as the PC controls are the worst. The game requires an internet connection in order for you to play it. It can also be copied onto 5 separate PC's (you have to work with the manufacture in order to delete older systems, probably will be removed within a year). The game loads a few other programs onto your computer (I deleted some of them) namely a program that makes it easier to find patches and drivers for the game.

My system:
OS-Vista 64 SP1
Graphics Card-9800gt hybrid power, 1gb vid ram
CPU-Intel Quad core
4gb ram
With everything on high I am getting 30-34frames per second, on my small PC monitor and a 40ish inch plasma screen TV.

Up's.
The game is scary as hell, be prepared to jump and scream in your seat and take frequent bathroom breaks. The story is detailed and requires you to think and plan ahead as you fight for survival. There are interesting twists in the game, some predictable, some not. The details are great and each enemy has exploitable weaknesses. With the gravity switched off everything floats (fortunately you don't). It adds a new level to the game play.


My best 2 tips for playing the game are as followed
1 - clear every room and look around for items (when you can). There are lots of items in each room left behind by the crew.
2 - Plan Ahead. My final tip is plan as best you can, manage your items and upgrades.
