1 - Good
Co op would of ruined it imo.

Dead Space was a horror game. You are all alone inside this ship, so its always tense and you're on edge.

With a partner, you lose the horror factor because you have TWICE the firepower and can watch each other's back.

While i agree RE5 was scare-less, Co-op can work in horror games. RE Zero was scary at times and that was with Billy always following you.
The two RE:Outbreaks done a good job easel. I think a RE:Outbreak would work well today if it still used the old style gameplay with the limited ammo etc.

1.4 - Glad they scrapped it...
Sorry, but Dead Space is a personal experience and to have a partner would have ruined the many scary parts of the game. In no way would having co-op been a good thing for the atmosphere of the game, unless of course you cannot handle scary stuff and needed somebody there to hold your hand...

It would've ruined the moments late at night.

7 - RE5 vs Dead Space
I reckon Dead Space is better than RE5 after completing both, which may be due to the lack of co-op. What is the general consensus?

Co-Op in Dead Space would have been hard to do with all the scripted moments in it. If two players got split up a little bit, one of them would miss the spooky arm reaching through the ceiling, or corpse drifting across a viewport in space.
