![]() While the game can be thoroughly enjoyed through the single player experience, the inclusion of a second playable character actually makes for a better game. I believe in keeping reviews as spoiler free as possible so I’ll only set the scene for the latest entry in the Dead Space franchise: Once again space engineer John McCain *ahem* Issac Clarke finds himself in yet another situation which puts his back against the wall thus forcing himself to the forefront of the story. Add to this the fact the PS3 edition doesn’t run as smooth as the X-Box 360 or PC editions so there are some road bumps in proclaiming Dead Space 3 as the new king of horror/action. The nineteen episodes play out, well… episodically, and there’s simply too much grind with repetitive errand running. Where Dead Space 3 stumbles in is poor story – something wherein the whole series has unfortunately suffered – as there just doesn’t seem to ever be enough meat on those bones. The sound and music are excellent and compliment the package to the extreme. The collecting of items, in which to build better ways to tackle the Necromorphs and their masters, is addictive while the new co-op gameplay is a welcome addition as well. Where DS3 shines is in the combat and overall presentation while providing great pulse pounding action segments. What DS3 does well, it does very well and what it doesn’t do with aplomb still isn’t game breaking. While the third installment in the Dead Space franchise isn’t a perfect game it is, in at least my opinion, much closer to the arena of a title deserving a place in your collection as opposed to given a flyer. Some reviewers are saying it’s a terrible game while others claim it is a must have in their gaming collection. I know people are seeing reviews all over the board for Dead Space 3.
