Dead Space 3
by, Neill/ MythicalShadows
Dead Space 3 was definitely at the top of my to get list of 2013. I was most excited for the Co-op campaign the most. I have played a little of the first two games in the series and I could not get into them. I found myself wanting more out of the combat scenes and I never got it. However one of my favorite parts of the series was the multiplayer in the second game in the series.
If you have never tried to play the series before I will tell you a little bit about it. The dead space series is a special type of shooter that intends to scare the living day lights out of you. In the first two games they succeeded in providing a great environment and gruesome creatures that accomplish the goal of providing a horror film like feel. However, this review is about the third game in the series.
Dead Space 3 is the first game in the series to have 2 player co-op campaign. The first time I played through the campaign was with a fellow author Kuhn. During the game we had a great time playing. Unfortunately I had trouble finding the horror feeling that I liked in the little that I played in the first two games. It simply was not scary knowing that a better player was watching my back. The Co-op that everyone wanted so dearly changed the horror shooter that we loved into an action shooter. With all of that said it was still a very fun and enjoyable game. There were other aspects of the game that are worthy of stating in the review, before I make my rating decision.
I'm not sure if it was me but the game focused heavily on a customizable weapon system that I found confusing and kind of unnecessary. I tried making multiple types of weapons using all kinds of different stocks and firing mechanisms but I only found one combination that was worthy of using the entire game. I never made another gun after that and I felt that I was under utilizing this system.
Even though the weapons system was under utilized by me, I trust that others will find it a fun difference from the normal dead space games. The other downfall that I found in the game is the repetitiveness of the missions. It doesn't take long for you to notice that you will be going back and forth through the same hallways and the same rooms. Grant it they will make you enter through a different door everytime to make it feel as if it is a new experience but its not. It can get boring to someone who notices it but if you don't I still recommend this game.
So in conclusion I found that this game has its faults, but they do nothing to hurt this game overall. It still makes its way to the must buy list. I think that the only thing that could have boosted this game is a multiplayer similar to the second game. There is not many games that kept me interested in the story and provided a decent gameplay that I could not put down for Rock band or Call of Duty. I have based my rating off of everything that I covered in the article. If you pick it up in stores you won't be sorry.
