As a means of survival Dead Space equipped the player some unusual weapons such as a pulse gun, a flamethrower, a ray gun or the "Ripper", an apparatus which is a kind circular saw blades misses. Primary weapon is a plasma cutter, which brings the creatures by "strategic separation" of limbs to stretch. It is quite bloody and brutal to the point. Therefore, Dead Space is suitable only for adult players. In addition, a Stasemodul makes life easier with the things can be "slowed down" and a Kinesemodul the distant things can be moved and used. Found Medipacks and SauertoffvorrÀte can be sold to Shop machines and use the proceeds weapons, better suits or energy nodes can be purchased, with which one must turn improve its weapons and the suit at workbenches.
The atmosphere that created Dead Space is extremely dark and creepy. Constantly we hear in the dark lonely corridors of the spaceship sounds pained groan and a discreet but very fitting soundtrack. A little tip: with headphones you can hear sounds that can be heard without, perhaps, but not play the best in the dark. ;)
Graphically, Dead Space immaculately presented and very hardware friendly. With a mid-range computer (C2D 2x2,67 GHz, 2GB RAM, GeForce 8800GT) can be Dead Space at a resolution of 1920x1200 play smoothly with highest settings.
If you have problems in controlling in the form of a spongy delayed reaction of the mouse, Vsync should switch off, then everything works fine and precise.
The game must be activated online, the activation can also be reversed by de-Authorisierungstool of EA.
While Dead Space is a very linear, but extremely exciting and atmospheric game.
One of my absolute favorite and therefore full purchase recommendation.
