Synopsis

Living with the constant fear of the plague may now seem like a pleasant memory to Isaac Clarke compared to his current reality — fear compounded by the ceaseless terror of the frozen planet Tau Volantis. Teaming up with merciless soldier John Carver may be his only chance of surviving the dangerous planet and the even deadlier evolved enemies that await him there. Stranded on this barren world, he must face an unending stream of lethal enemies, horrifying avalanches, treacherous ice climbs and the brutal elements of the violent wilderness in order to solve the mysteries of the past and find the solution to the Necromorph plague — a solution that is mankind's last hope.

Plunge into the frozen world of Dead Space 3 as Isaac Clarke, and use your courage, intelligence and skill to navigate the challenges that lurk around every corner. Explore underworld cities, engage in side missions and put Isaac's engineering skills to the ultimate test in order to build the weapons needed to survive. The weight of human survival rests on your shoulders, but you can enlist the help of your friends with the game's new drop-in and drop-out co-op gameplay. On the terrifying planet of Tau Volantis, you may need all the help you can get.

Features

  • Explore Tau Volantis' extreme terrain with the insulated Witness Suit and protect yourself against lengthy space exposure with the thick armor of the First Contact Suit
  • Decimate your enemies with the Evangelizer Weapon, which sports a deadly combination of a heavy-duty assault rifle and a shotgun, and unleash your fury with the Negotiator Weapon that features a Tesla-powered instrument for organic tissue dismemberment
  • Defeat the terror of the Necromorph plague in the deadly terrain of the frozen planet Tau Volantis by going it alone as Isaac Clarke or teaming up with merciless soldier John Carver
  • Uncover mysteries of the past and embark on a thrilling expedition to save mankind by discovering the source of the Necromorph terror while you scavenge the harsh environment for parts and raw materials
  • Play the full campaign in single-player or online co-op mode with the new seamless drop-in, drop-out co-op functionality
  • Experience the terror of the ice planet's harsh terrain as you build devastating weapons for survival and struggle to survive avalanches, treacherous ice climbs and the unforgiving wilderness
  • Discover underworld cities to engage in exciting side missions and explore the frozen terrain in search of abandoned encampments
  • Construct your own weapons from gathered parts, and constantly combine, reconfigure or upgrade your favorite items to design deadly creations to aid you on your adventure

Dead Space 3 - PlayStation 3 (19 out of 19)
Hoping For Dead Space 4
5
Posted by: from San Antonio, TX on 05/10/2013After (finally) beating Dead Space and Dead Space 2 about a month ago, I knew I had to get this title. Amazing graphics, and the gameplay is just a horrifying and intense as usual. I wasn't too crazy about the storyline though. I preferred the one from Dead Space 2 (my favorite of the three). Nevertheless, this game was intense, gruesome and gory. This is was a true horror trilogy should be like. If you're a die hard fan, you definitely want this title in your collection.

Great Addition to the Series
5
Posted by: from Phoenix, Az on 05/06/2013PROS: I would have to say that I like the way the guns are a lot better in this one than in DS2. I like being able to build and upgrade guns to my liking. It seems like the combination in guns is almost endless. You start with selecting 1 of 15-20 frames and then add tool tips to the frame to create your guns. Then on top of that you add something to the tool tips to give the projectile a certain feature. (ie you can make the javelin gun a shotgun that fires multiple javs) Then you add special abilities to your weapons like stasis coating which slows your enemies, or acid, fire, electic, list goes on and on. And finally upgrade your weapon with curcuits to add more damage, higher clip, rate of fire, or reload speed. I enjoy creating new weapons and testing them out. The Co-op feature that was added is a very nice addition. I like being able to jump in and out of games to find stuff I miss. Also there are 3 Co-Op side missions in the game that can obviously only be completed in Co-Op mode. CONS: I started like most of you will my Plasma Cutter. Unlike DS2 the Cutter becomes usless very quick. I played with the same fun in solo mode for about 5 chapters. The game became a little mundane at that point. Once I swithced to a new weapon and started cycling in new weapons the game took on a whole new meaning and direction. I was all about finding new frames and upgrade circuits to creat my newest weapon. I would definitely reccommend this game to anyone in the market for a shooter.

Great game, but getting more action-oriented
4
Posted by: from Oshkosh, WI on 05/03/2013Dead space three is almost a different breed, being more action oriented than the first two games. I mean come on the put is a cover system. However fighting necrosis is as fun as ever and the new co-op adds a new layer to a fun game.

More action, less scares
4
Posted by: from on 04/15/2013Based on playing the Dead Space 1/2, I can say this game has evolved into an action based game with a few scares. The horror usually involves the necromorphs just out at you at random points in the game. After playing a few hours, you do the same routine over and over again as you reach keypoints in the game. The routine involves activating a switch, enemies swarm around you, after kill all of them you go to the next objective to repeat again. At nice addition is being able to play Co-op, but to warn everyone you need two consoles to play the game. The developers did not implement splitscreen in the game, so you need two copies of the game to play co-op. Co-op was enjoyed when I beat the game with my brother.

Dead Space 3 is here!
5
Posted by: from Milwaukee, WI on 04/14/2013I love the Dead Space franchise and following the story of Isaac Clarke. It's a fun game and I'd recommend it to fans of the series. The drawback to me is it can be at times too action driven and the upgrade system for the guns leaves a lot to be desired. I miss the node the system which I felt was better. Great story; every should atleast play this game.

OK Action Game
3
Posted by: from Columbus, OH on 04/14/2013I have been a huge dead space fan since the original, and I could not wait for DS3. With that being said, I was a little let down once with the final product. With the third entry in the series, the story has gotten completly out of hand and no longer makes sense. What made the series great to begin with was that it was an actual horror game. This 3rd title feels more like an action game.
