Dead Fucking Space Delivers


It's gone gold and now the first review is out there. Xbox World 360 mag (never heard of them before) gave 91%. I quote ComputerAndVideogames.com:
91% from Xbox World 360, who says EA can teach Capcom "a thing or three" about horror...
Exploring the decks of the Ishimura is a "nail-biting experience," says the mag, driven forward by the "film-worthy" script and "inspired" setting. "It's Rapture in space: every bit as disturbing, just as meticulously designed and easily as believable.

"The Ishimura has a fully designed vent system which allows monsters to make their own way through the ship. Fail to stop them before they jump into an air duct and they'll pop out behind you minutes later and take two bites out of your arse."

But Dead Space's real showpiece, continues the review, is its Zero G environments. "When the gravity is removed the fun really starts," it says.

"Dead Space doesn't quite give its strengths as much screen time as they fully deserved," it says, "and often falls back onto the standard staple action of Resident Evil 4.

"But what action to fall back on. The very fact that we wish Dead Space included more of its original features and less content pulled from the last generation's greatest game speaks volumes for the quality on show."

No matter to what result other reviews will come. I have a believe in this game and therefore preordered it.
I see it coming GT 7.5 - fuck you.
