Another boss! Oh wait, that's the last one... er, what?

Fair enough :[

Dead Space baffled me somewhat overall and I think that's pretty clear (especially so in my final rant).. I really don't understand why I enjoyed the 11ish hours, yet at the same time, came away utterly disappointed.

I think it boils down to loving the premise, the setting, the engine and quite a bit of the game, yet utterly hating how the poor story telling, lack of any real horror (other than gore) and no brainer linear objectives made Dead Space completely disappointing and even boring in places.

It had the potential to be a game of the year candidate, but as it stands, it's not close, but IS a damn fine game regardless.

It gets a B from me.. the B sums it up perfectly imo, as does Metacritic's score of 89 which accurately portrays the game falling short of the A-list scoring category, but is still a great game that's worth playing at least once.

Rent it.

Enjoy!
