Dead Space 3 once again puts you in the shoes of Isaac Clarke, who is called on by Captain Robert Norton and John Carver to help rescue Ellie, the woman he fell in love with in Dead Space 2.

Superb combat action, intense moments, and a killer crafting system; Co-op adds more side missions and cut scenes that are worth playing through

Poor storyline; Annoying fetch quests

Isaac Clarke and John Carver are back in action. How can they be roaming the barren wastes of Tau Volantis after the bleak, deck-clearing finale of Dead Space 3 ? That mystery gets Awakened off to a promising start; if only the intrigue lasted through the rest of the adventure.

Dead Space 3 epitomizes everything that's wrong with the videogame industry right now. It's also a pretty good game, which is what makes this disappointment more sour than say, the travesty that is Aliens: Colonial Marine s.

Craft a limitless array of destructive weaponry using the game's new customization mechanic; then share your creations with your friend as you take on the necromorphs in some of the best co-op on the market

Sigh; Game is almost completely devoid of genuine scares or terror; Difficulty scaling is wonky; Cover system and gun battle sequences are out of place and not suited to Dead Space's controls; Story feels like it's treading water, doesn't take any risks and has a bizarre ending.

Sorti à l'automne 2008 sur PS3, Xbox 360 et PC, Dead Space avait d'emblée séduit les fans de survival horror. La nouvelle franchise apportait du sang neuf au genre et avait su cultiver sa propre identité.

On s'éloigne du survival horror; Beaucoup moins flippant et oppressant; Perd trop en difficult

Trying to think cautiously on this, but I'm still not 100% certain at which point Dead Space started focusing more emphasis on action and less on survival horror elements. Visceral Games' original Dead Space succeeded in blending both genres, which also came across in the second installment.

This game shines as a co-op shooter; some interesting boss encounters; there are a few brilliantly designed locations in this game; there's a lot of cool stuff to unlock; great cinematic ambience

The backtracking and elevator rides; as DS fans we can't deny that this is the weakest entry in the series; be it co-op or single-player it appears that any magic the series had is now lost in the murky and crowded waters of generic action games

This is a step forward for the franchise, even if we can clearly see EA's grip tightening on Isaac's throat.

Great atmosphere; Side missions are a winner; Weapon crafting has been implemented well

Quite easy for experienced gamers; Microtransactions (optional; yes - an eyesore; yes

I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I didn't really enjoy playing the first two Dead Space games. I feel that horror action games have fallen into a rut that combined cheap scares with limitations on controls or movement along with other bits of awkwardness that turn what could be a fun,...

Dead Space 3 is a multiplayer game. You can play the game on your own, as I did, start to finish, but Visceral's co-operative foundation permeates the experience throughout. In mid 2012 Ben Kuchera of the Penny Arcade Report did a nice feature on Dead Space 3 , where the developer claimed to be...

You should absolutely play Awakened if you've already beaten Dead Space 3. It's one of the more original and memorable parts of Isaac's story… which says as much about Dead Space 3 as a game as it does the quality of this DLC.

The original Dead Space saw the series' hero, Isaac, wandering a necromorph-infested hulk of a ship, carefully rationing ammo and creeping through corridors where mostly slow-moving enemies might jump out in an attempt to kill him.
