Customer Reviews
Awesome game, but poor control and few graphical glitches
I thought this game was simply amazing! The story is about as standard as they come. You are going to a mining ship that needs repair, then you get attacked by an unknown force. Your job is to survive and rescue your fellow mates and uncover the truth. The atmosphere, music, and overall presentation seem futuristic and scary as anything. The selling point, in my opinion, is the atmosphere. You will be scared all throughout and if you have good sounds, you're going to love this game (I have a SB X-Fi card with Headphones and I was scared as anything). If I had to compare this to a movie, I thought of Alien(1&2) gone high tech.
There are a few problems with the game. The first one I noticed is some graphical issues with the game. I'm playing it everything on high at 1680x1050. Everything looked beautiful, except when there is flashing lights or fire (I'm running on a gtx260, w/9800gt for phys-x). It seems to "stutter" the screen a bit. If I turned on v-sync it fixes the problem, but presents a problem with the mouse which is the second problem with the game. Normally the mouse is fine, but if you were to aim at enemies, you'd find that the speed is impossibly slow. Not only that, if you turn on v-sync to fix some of the graphical glitches, it goes even slower to a point where you cannot use it.
Overall though, the game is amazing. There are only a few places where there are strobe lights and such, so you can turn v-sync off to up your mouse speed (note that sensitivity doesn't fix it) and still enjoy a solid game. I know I did.

THANKS REVIEWERS...I'LL PASS ON EA!
Couldn't wait for X-Mass to buy Dead Space for my PC, but because of all the reviewers saying securom sucks I decided against it. EA listen up...YOUR LOSING CUSTOMERS!
|
Sounds Like a Good Game - I too will regret not buying it because of SecuRom
I really am disheartened by all the stories of SecuRom DRM protection used by EA. I too do not like being treated like a thief especially when it is a game that I will lawfully purchase. NO SALE here EA...
|
Sorry but not not buying this game!! Not even for the console
Time to make EA learn from their mistakes by putting DRM in the PC games. Time to take down the Titan called EA!!!!
|
No to DRM
I came close to purchasing this - but the draconian SecuROM / DRM protection makes it a non-starter.
