I do agree that Dead Space is moving away from the horror-survival and into the action category....I actually thought this was quite apparent when looking at Dead Space 2 compared to the original. That said, I haven't played Dead Space 3 yet.

One question I have about the review is......do other people think the controls are too sluggish. I played both Dead Space 1 and 2, and I find it hard to believe that the gameplay has become too sluggish. At least in my experience, that would be a step backward for the game because I always felt Dead Space had some great, responsive controls, especially compared with the rest of the genre.


The controls are exactly the same. Minus a roll and cover button which you generally don't use. The weight, precisions, and other things are exactly the same. One of his complaints that is valid. Is that the enemies move faster. However, that' solved, by stasis being more readily available, and being able to stack stasis by making them twice as slow.  However the game does a bad job of explaining this.

He has some valid complaints. But he only reviewed the co-op portion of the game as well, and didn't adjust the difficulty despite many of his complaints being solved by just adjusting the difficulty.

Personally I think it's the worst deadspace slightly. But his review, ignores a lot of things reviews shouldn't ignore. I still think he'd score it around a 5 and I'm fine with that. But it's a pretty poor review imo.
