Why is everyone raving about Dead Space?

Also, when you say you didn't find the game scary I disagree. I thought it had great atmosphere, immersion, gameplay, and production values. The story was also relatively fair.

It's flaws were bad bosses and repetitive enemies, but the pros vastly outweigh them.

As for the dismembering being a gimmick, so was the Zero-grav rooms, but they were awesome, and truly only possible in this gen. Excellence. Gimmicks are fun and popular for a reason.

9/10 easy. Scary as shit, and better than the last Silent Hill.

 

This statement is so true, i didn't get bored of the enemies until the end. And i played it on hard...and damn im glad i did. So many good moments of panic, truly awesome game.
