Resumeplay writes: "Dead Space isn't quite horror, and it isn't quite survival, either. In an obvious attempt to revive the genre, it hits a bizarre middle ground; too many clichés and too much ammo make it difficult to be truly terrified. Yet, EA's new third-person shooter has its occasional scares, its occasional 'oh shits' and it's occasional 'what the fucks' – it's just too bad that you'll probably find these in your usual daily soap-drama as well."
