Alright...this game is good. I said it.
I don't know why, but this series always puts me in a frenzy before it comes out.
The first Dead Space, for some reason I just had no interest in (and I play everything) and the day it came out, it was so popular, I said "Alright I'll give it a shot" and it was AMAZING.
Dead Space 2 was coming out and for what ever reason, I was kinda hesitant about whether it was going to be as good as the first one and all that. It was. It too was AMAZING.
Dead Space 3 comes around and I'll like "It's gonna be too action-y, Co-Op's gonna be lame, they're gonna mess this one up, doom and gloom, blah blah blah"
Nope. Game is great. Every thing you love about the first one, or second one is all there.
Is it LESS scary? Maybe...but, we're also used to the "Dead Space Forumla" -it's the third game guys. We know all their scare tactics.
Is it MORE action-y? I don't think so. Dead Space always had intense battles with Necromorphs mixed in with slow, creepy investigating. I don't think thats any different. I think the difference is the length of those battles and maybe the number of Necromorphs, but, it's really no different.
Has the story suffered? Yes...its a bit silly at times but it is still better than just about anything else that isn't a AAA game.
And lets be honest...it's the BEST horror game out right now. Even less mainstream horror games might be good but they don't have the polish this does, and the big names aren't cutting it anymore (Resident Evil - HA!, Silent Hill-Eh...)
My big comparison for this game was gonna be when people were hating RE5 for being too much action and my argument was that it didn't matter because a good game is a good game and RE5 was a better action game than most, however disappointing it was. I thought this would be the same, but it's NOT. This game IS horror and it IS Dead Space. Through and through.
If you like the first two. PLAY IT. You won't be disappointed.
