Dead Space - any good?

TonyM19 · 21 Apr 2010 at 21:43

Just about to finish Dragon Age and looking for a game to play. I see Dead Space is less than a fiver on Amazon. System Shock 2 is one of my all time favourite games and this sounds like it has a similar setting. I appreciate it isn't an RPG, but what are people's opinions of it? Is it worth 2 pints of Guinness

?

Worth it at full price tbh, proper brown pants game

One of the best survival horror games ever made.

modo77 · 21 Apr 2010 at 21:58

Yeah its well worth getting

trickycurve · 21 Apr 2010 at 22:00

It's an absolute steal if you can get it that cheap.

Fenris · 21 Apr 2010 at 22:07

It was worth the price when it was new, brilliant game.

Yep, total no brainer, just buy it. Great game.

The sound in the game on a decent speak system is probably the best I've ever heard. Really adds to the atmosphere as well and the game really gets your pulse racing numerous times per chapter lol. Its also not a cakewalk either in the difficulty sense, especially a few chapters in but I won't spoil it.

Heads up though - you may need to disable vsync to get rid of the mouse lag IF you experience it. (I didn't)

Very worth it. Just make sure you turn vsync off and force it in nvidia control panel so you don't come to the forum moaning about the 'mouse lag' which is easily fixed

well worth it

even for those who paid £20 for it.

I only got half way through it. Thought it was very good

, but by half way it was quite repetitive

Actually the best solution is to use the D3DOverrider program that comes with Rivatuner, fixes the mouselag and keeps vsync.

And yes, definitely worth getting.

well worth it, but easier with a game pad

Legionaire68 · 22 Apr 2010 at 11:19

Very under-rated game I loved it, played it on PS3 though but read reviews saying it was easier with 360 pad on P.C.

Good game, just found the middle third rather repetitive. Perhaps it went on a bit too long for me.

An innovative and creatively put together game that I marvelled at on occasion rather than really got scared playing.

Dark Sun · 23 Apr 2010 at 07:50

The game is very scary indeed and well worth getting.

Garyj881 · 23 Apr 2010 at 08:21

One my favourite SP games ever. It takes a bit of getting use to with the "over the shoulder" view but it can be very intense and at times I felt like I was actually there.

This was one game I actually preferred playing on a 360. Looked great and control was very natural with the pad. Big telly in a dark room did a much better job of immersing you in the experience than sitting at a PC desk.
