Dead Space 3 Demo Review!

Dead Space 3 is back, showing us the horror of the Necromorphs from the eyes of Isaac Clarke. The big change this year is the addition of co-op, many people felt worried about this new addition. I played through on both singleplayer and co-op, I must say in co-op the game loses the scary factor from the game very easily as we began to laugh at each others bodies being stabbed! But it is still FUN which is what matters most, with seperate cutscenes being different playing on co-op I can see myself playing through on singleplayer and co-op.

The second big change in my eyes, is the frozen planet of Tau Volantisthat Dead Space 3 is set. Before we felt cramped in the tight, dark corridors of the former games, hopefully they don't do too much open areas in the game. It’s difficult to be intimidated by anything the necromorphs throw at him at this point. It doesn’t matter all that much because blasting the limbs off of foes small and giant is just as satisfying as ever. I feel like I'm evolving with Isaac and I'm no longer a scared baby.

Another big feature is the gun creation system, athough it did nt seem to be a huge factor in the demo. It will be nice to always having to keep my eyes open for the newest loot drops so I can make the most from this new system and craft badass guns!

Dead Space 3 has certainly taken risks, moving from pure horror to adding elements of action. Will it pay off? We will find out on its release on February 5th 2013!
