All reviewsDead Space 32013
2 out of 5 starsThere are still some great Dead Space moments to be had in this game, especially in the early going. The zero-gravity space sections especially have a great atmosphere about them. But these few heights are severely diminished by unnecessary gameplay changes. (I hope whoever thought fighting humans with a sorta-cover system was a good idea has been sacked.)

Mar 1, 2010
*SPOILERS* Just finished reading a write-up by Kirk Hamilton on Gamer Melodico about his numerous issues with Heavy Rain . It's a good read that summarized my issues with the game. You can find the read here, and I suggest anyone who's played the game look it over: Heavy Rain: Sound and Fury, Signifying Nothing Here is my response: I never seemed to have as much of a problem with the QTE, so I...
