Now what can I say about the Dead Space series? I love all three of them. Dead Space sold 3.24 million units, Dead Space 2 sold 2.74 million units and part 3 sold 1.64 million units. This is not including its other failures like Dead Space Extraction and Ignition for the Wii because those were bad ideas from the start. Even though 1.64 mill sounds like a lot its not enough to make up to what it’s first game. Personally though I think the game could of sold a lot more if people just gave it a chance for plenty of reasons and heres why.
Dead Space is a survival horror game since the first one. Once part 2 came in, they gave the main character Issac Clarke more characteristics than just looks. When the third installment was out fans didn’t like it because of enviorment. Now I agree the game doesn’t have must of a horror feeling anymore and I feel as the story is forced a bit on this one but it also has somethings that makes up for its mistakes. So what makes this game good? Well as much as its forced the story is still amazing with an amazing design of your surroundings. The use of weapons are now completely different to where you upgrade it different ways and combining two into one. New enemies to give the game a different feeling as you progress and like always the graphics are beautiful for its time.
Theres still more to make up though. The game is the first of its series to add co-op and it’s a new idea that was actually a success. The game is slowpaced like the rest of them and different new and some classic suits from the first one that everyone loves. Lastly it has great replay value with its side mission for you to do in solo and others that you need co-op for which i think should of been optional. Dead Space 3 builds it’s reputation and did a great job. Others give it good ratings but question is why did it sell less than it’s beginners?
