Lots of negative reviews so I was compelled to leave my own. One of the biggest knocks on the game is that it isn't as scary as the previous ones. I'm not so sure that is so true. The fright level for Dead space 1 was largely in part of the user not knowing what to expect. Dead space 2 was a little "less scary." Part 3 is even less because by now, most players are comfortable with the environment. Combined that with the fact that the protagonist, Isaac, is now a seasoned veteran in dealing with the necromorphs. I feel that the fright level is right on par with the current storyline. It's still scary, but you know what to expect.I am no fan of shooters, but after playing Dead Space 2 it quickly became one of the best games I've ever played in terms of being immersed in the story. I moved on to play part 1 and now with part 3 am very pleased. The ability to modify and customize your weapons is a very nice addition. You may find yourself spending a lot of time modifying your weapon depending on the situation you're in.They also introduced "side missions." Which is nice, but they seem like the main part of the game that was just labeled side missions. I guess they're optional but I cannot imagine anyone not completing them. One nice thing that could be added to the series in future versions is the option to create a non-linear path. For example, the ability to choose which planet or area you need to go to for whatever reason fits the plot. It could be molded to be like an RPG.I left out a star because the story is a bit strange in the way that it attempts to introduce co-op with single player. I've only played single player but the story seems odd in the way that it tries to create a storyline that fits both co-op and single player. Additionally, it seems very easy. I started out on the hard level and there is an overabundance of health, stasis refills, and ammo laying around.Overall, a very good game. Don't let the bitterness of the way that the game is sold or delivered determine the rating of the actual game.

Isaac Clarke has returned as the star of the third game in the Dead Space series and without a doubt it's an extremely solid game.The series as a whole is known for it's scare factor and for Dead Space 3, this hasn't changed. There are moments when you will jump...no doubt about it.Over all it's more tense than frightening though.If you have played the other games in the series then you know that Dead Space is a third-person survival horror title and for the third installment, the over all experience has been built upon and enhanced. The game's biggest improvement is the new weapon crafting system, which can be used at any workbench in the game's 19 chapters. With this crafting system you can piece together different weapons combinations including different frames, engines and tips. You can go further by enhancing your weapons with acid coated or electrical projectiles.Kinesis is still at play in this title and this allows you the ability to pick up objects and toss them towards the necromorphs.Dead Space 3 has been developed for consoles and then ported directly to PC. Although it is possible to turn some settings up a little higher on the PC, modern features that are part of DirectX 11 or high-resolution textures are not supported out of the box. Read below for some tips on how to get a bit more out of this game graphically.The music and sound design are top-notch just as with the other titles.The addition of co-op allows the series to go from the fringes of core survival horror onto the mainstream stage of action gaming. Playing in co-op erase the sense of isolation though, but the scares and the persistent sense of dread the series is known for remains intact.The amount of time needed to beat this title will depend on you and how you play. If you search for every hidden item and artifact then it can take up to 20 hours. If you race through the game it can be done in about 12 hours.For me playing a game is like drinking a glass of wine you need to take the time and enjoy it :)NOTE OF INTEREST: For those angry about the 30FPS lock on PC; turn vsync off in game, then with Nvidia control panel hit 3D options, select DS3, go down and force Vsync on - me having a 120 refresh rate monitor; doing this enabled SLI of my two 580 GTX's and gave me a constant 120 frames per second lock at 1920x1080@120hz refresh. the difference was ok to gorgeous! Enjoy!Overall my friend, this is a great title. Turn the lights off, turn the sound up. Prepare to get frightened...........-Why only Four Stars?-While I have enjoyed this game greatly, it is missing that high level of scare factor. It's there but it's not as rampant as with the other titles. Other than that; terrific game.Highlights:-Excellent weapon crafting system adds flexibility to combat-Outstanding sense of atmosphere-The Sound effects......-Great amount of environmental variety-Co-op makes for a fun alternate approach to the campaign.

The graphics are awesome at 1920x1080 23in HD LCD Nvidia GTX260 i7 1st Gen 3.0Ghz, AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3Ghz Nvidia 630GT 2GB and just as good on my 14in notebook computer i7 2nd Gen 2.7Ghz with ATI switchable graphics. Graphics are either preset (high, very high, etc...) or configurable with custom. I have mine set to Very High on both desktops and High on the notebook and they look great. DirectX 11, don't see an option, but don't think it is needed since the graphic already look awesome! Only two out of three of my PC's would support it anyway.I started out with Dead Space 2 and then bought 1 and with Dead Space 3, I pre-ordered expecting all the great things two had and more.Somethings to expect;1. Good graphics2. unexpected scares/surprises3. a new revamped weapon bench that is way better than the first two Dead Space - find the parts to build different weapons like the Pulse rifle, Line gun, or Plasma Cutter (Heavy Elite Frame, Tesla Core, attachment top/bottom tools, top/bottom tips. See the screenshots I posted.4. auto save, so you don't have to stop at save stations, you can jump back to chapters/side missions with your current weapons.5. you don't have to do co-op, but it is a neat addition, 2-3 side missions are for co-op play only that I have noticed.6. power nodes have been replaced with chips (2+ damage -1 reload)7. all ammo is combined, other supplies - health packs, and stasis.8. blue prints to build certain weapons or create your own.This is no doubt an awesome continuation of the Dead Space story and game play with a lot of additions.UPDATE: 02-20-13 - The Dead Space team really did some work on this game. The details with in the game are some amazing art work. I was amazed with DS2 and bought DS1, but had to configure DS1 so the mouse would work better. Even though DS1 wasn't a perfect port to the PC, it was still a great game to play, which I'm still enjoying. DS2 is an improvement over DS1 for the PC graphics/mouse movement and DS3 is a continuation with more improvements than DS2. I'm playing Game+ mode, which has some new stuff like (Damage +3 Rate of Fire +1) to power up the weapons that DS2 didn't have. I'm also playing a fresh start in Hard mode and it really challenges your skills in shooting accuracy and the ability to build a better weapon.
