Review VV's Dead Space iOS Review

[VentusVanitas]

Sorry bout that.

I think it's just that they believe lots of people own iDevices now.

(There have been over 41 million iPhones sold, now add iTouches and iPads!!)

I note the fact that you are completely ignoring every post related to criticism. Please, listen to criticism. It makes you better.

 

[VentusVanitas]

Yeah, I've been listening to it. Thanks guys.

Keep an eye out for my blog, I'll be rewriting my review system, and after replaying this game a second time, I'm noticing it's flaws.

Time to review my review.

Is it just me or does the main character just look like a low-poly Issac?

You can tell a lot of work went into this game.

If you're saying it's that good, I might just try it. Though I'm already getting Dead Space 2 for the PS3.

 

[VentusVanitas]

Yeah, in my updated review, I'll be expressing my thoughts on the fact every freaking main character is an engineer.

I've played it, I'm up to chapter 7.

I imagine this is going to be short?? It looks great on my iPhone 4. Like, this is legit a good game.

If theres one con I got, it's the camera sometimes. I've had to shoot some enemies that get the drop on me on a quick whim. If you don't double tap your character to do a 180 (Which I don't always remember to do) the camera pans around incorrectly and all you see is the wall.

This has only happened twice in the few hours of play, so it's not a big deal.. but I can't find anything else to complain about

It works and plays so well.


It's games like these that make the iDevices a legit contender in the handheld space. You're not missing too-too much if you have dead space 2 and the other releases, but this reaks of quality that's on a very respectable level

Also, why can't a game have a perfect score in a users review (or in general)? A review is nothing more than an opinion. "Professional" or biased- it's all the same. For what the game is, an unofficial perfect score sounds right up its alley.

i already played this game. and as i said before. controls were going to be bad. i mean its ok for just having the touch screen as main source for controls, but it does limit movement. and graphics are ok on the game. the game doesnt have the dark gloomy look the console versions have, it is more lighted which makes you see enemies easier, and it is a little downed in graphics and ipod can have better graphics than that as seen in many other games

I've taken everyone's words into account. I'm writing a new review, and this is my new system.

------------------------------

The total score will be out of thirty. Gameplay and story will be out of ten, and graphics and sound will be out of 5, for a grand total of thirty points.

I won’t give sum-ups for scores (Must buy, Horrible Sequel etc.) but I will explain each rating briefly.

------------------------------

Is this more fair than the last?

Probably, but I have to tell you story should NOT be ten. Mostly it shouldn't be a rating. Change it with Presentation or Aesthetic or Replay Value instead. Story is not relevant in some games, and a good example of this is the platforming Mario games, or the Pokemon games (which have lame and repetitive stories) and the party or mini-games (which have no story at all).

Exactly. My review system consists of four categories (usually) Gameplay, Graphics, Story, and replay. These can change depending on the game I'm reviewing.

Here is a link to my RDR review. You'll notice, the in addition to my unbiased review score, you'll also notice my personal score. This is where you put how much you actually liked the game, but this isn't what people look to when buying a game.
