Somhow I couldn't enjoy Dead Space. It had a great start, but the best scene was just after the elevator where the lights suddenly went out and you only heard some noises...
I cant tell you why but I simply couldn't attach to the character... So I never felt survival horror because of the weak story and the silent main character. It is hard "fearing" for the survival of a character who is an "empty shell"... No immersion for me. I died... well, just restart from the last checkpoint. Nothing lost.
The environment was bland and repetitive and there were only very few different enemy types. All in all I would give it a 7/10. The technical aspects were fine, but overall it lacked depth and refinement. EA could have done much better and it ended up getting worse instead.
