Dead Space -- anyone picked it up?

Postby PolygonPete on Tue Oct 14, 2008 10:10 pm

Got it on 360 today. First three hours: no HUD, the health bar is on your back, and cutting off limbs is actually how you kill things. Tense as hell.
I test games for a living. No, it is not as fun as it sounds.

Is it actually scary or just loud?

Both. Turn the lights off, headphones on. The sound design is the best thing about it.

Waiting for the PC version on Monday. Glad to hear it's not just a shooter with a space coat of paint.
