The claustrophobic horror now completely missing, the action has been clarified in the foreground and it will be much too much talk.
The new storage system (Autosaves instead memory consoles) and the new Crafting instead of a shop (in the predecessors gathered to credits to weapons, armor and Medpacks to buy) do not fit so well into the game and you also never have enough material to the to build the best weapons.
Bottom line, a good action game which however can not create more fear and must be clearly do behind its predecessors.
The best Dead Space is still the first.
