This feature, which introduces another, quite different, character called Carver, is probably the best thing about the game. Previous Dead Space outings have pretty much confined Isaac to barracks, ambling along corridors of traumatised space wrecks, but this time around he gets to explore the icy planet of Tau Volantis.Īnd if that’s not enough of a change, the game also features ‘drop in, drop out’ co-operative gameplay. As such, the weapons at his disposal are not your usual assortment of unfeasibly large projectile-flinging hardware but mostly implements devised for mining.įaced with enemies that are more typical in horror games, most of them being biologically deformed unfortunates that are, in this case, dubbed ‘Necromorphs’, this mismatch of unusual hero, improvised weapons and classic monsters makes for an appealing challenge. Your character, Isaac, isn’t the classic videogame grunt stereotype, but is instead an engineer. Renowned and lauded for its unique take on the horror videogame genre, the action in Dead Space 3 is one of exploration, discovery and sudden, overwhelming violence. A space-based horror adventure, Dead Space 3 starts off like every other third person action game with the premise of a hero who is virtuous but ill-suited to the task, reluctantly agreeing to put his life in danger after being presented with the flimsiest of pretexts is more suited to a new Die Hard movie than the next Dead Space game.įortunately, this typical, overblown EA action game treatment soon mercifully calms down and it’s then that the slow, trudging pace of previous Dead Space games takes over and the game comes back into focus.
