Dead Space has probably got a better story than most games that are made to keep you coming for story… not for getting scared to the point of falling out of your chair (which… thinking about it, shouldn’t happen).
Graphics
For a game that came out in 2008, I have to say it looks better than a lot of newer games I’ve seen. It’s graphics however, compared to Dead Space 2, Halo: Reach, or Assassin’s Creed are not as good. (However, those games have about 2 years of extra graphics techniques helping them)
Gameplay
Dead Space’s gameplay is by far what keeps you continue to play it over and over. For example, when you blow someone up in Call of Duty, what do they do? Fall over. In Dead Space, they actually blow into lots of pieces (just like Fallout). The variety of weapons also keeps you laughing at what you just did, then getting scared by the Necromorph that came out from behind of you. Also, even the third time going though an area, you’ll be freaked out by a Necromorph that came out of nowhere.
Necromorphs
The Necromorphs are the worst things ever, of all time. Not meaning that they are “bad” meaning too easy, bad meaning they’ll kill you if you let your guard down.
The First time you fight a Necromorph, right above the gun you pick up it says “CUT OFF THEIR LIMBS” this is the Golden Rule of Dead Space, don’t do this, and you won’t make it past Chapter 2.
Weapons
The first weapon you get in games like this usually are the worst, right? Yes. Luckily, in Dead Space, the first weapon is probably the best in the game if you use it correctly (and if you upgrade it).
Dead Space
Dead Space is easily one of the best games I’ve played, however… your mom’s gonna hate it.

I’ll probably write one of these for the sequel, Dead Space 2 (which is what the link is about).
