A gorgeous, gory experience that ends before the formula gets too stale. It had a couple of jump scares that made me flinch slightly, however this game overall is not too scary. Most of the suspense comes from managing your ammo and inventory.

The start of the game really grips you, however it does drop off a bit in the middle and slows down a bit, but I found that the story was interesting enough that I had to know how it ended so I kept playing.

I'm glad I did as well as it picks up again in the last quarter when you have more upgrades and ammo to play with and you have the mechanics perfected.

I haven't played Dead Space so I can't compare and didn't feel the same disappointment that others felt, but on its own it is a fun game that I am really happy I played.
