Dead Space 3 Review & Gameplay Footage


**May Contain Spoilers**

Dead space 3 is a third-person shooter survival horror video game, developed by visceral games and published by electronic arts.

You start with an intro explaining about the markers, If you haven't played dead space before, then the markers are a statue of unseen power and there's powerful people who want to harvest this power into unlimited energy. After the intro of Dead Space 3 it follows the Galaxy's unluckiest engineer, Isaac Clarke as he takes up the fight to protect the human race from the mysterious markers and its necrospawn.This begins with Isaac heading off to rescue Ellie, his missing girlfriend who returns from Dead Space 2, Also Isaac is joined by John Carver, the first playable co-op character in the series.

For the first disc of Dead Space 3 it will be the Dead Space that we all know and love. Running through dark long tunnels with a sense of dread as you don't know what will be around the corner. You're low on ammo and life, and on the edge of your seat hoping that the next Nercospawn onslaught isn't going to happen when you're low on life and ammo, which 9 times out of 10 does happen.
You then find yourself running for your life trying to somehow stop with Jedi-like kinesis to impale enemies with their own torn off limbs or other tools like slow-mo, inducting stasis and gravity-manipulation kinesis puts a fresh spin on typical shooter affair. Even if you played the first two games, Dead Space 3's combat is still some of the most unique and satisfying of this console generation.


By Disc 2 you would have crashed on the frozen planet of Tau Volantis, where Isaac must comb the harsh environment for raw materials and scavenged parts. He will then put his engineering skills to test to create and customise weapons and survival tools. The ice planet holds the key to ending the Necromorph plague forever, but first Isaac must overcome avalanches,treacherous ice-climbs,and the violent wilderness. Facing deadlier evolved enemies and the brutal elements at this point it turns into more of an action game rather than a horror, in which true Dead Space die hard fans (me being one of them) it disappoints! Because if i wanted to play an action game i would have played Gears of War or some other third-person shooter.

But as a whole that is my problem with the game as the game looks amazing Visceral Games highly modified Godfather engine handily renders everything in glistening,crystalline clarity.
Also gameplay time if played slowly and methodically, looking for every artifact, hidden items and Peng!, you can spend between 15-20 hours, including all the optional side missions, Once you beat it and then start grinding for overclocked and supercharged weapon parts in new game+, you can run it in 8-10 hours. Same goes for co-op as its a faster play through



Verdict 8/10
