Hey people, I’m back with my second review. I hope you like it!! The game is:
Dead Space
Developer: IronMonkey Games
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Platform: iOS (All)
Here is my review system. I give my reviews out of 20, with separate sections for sound, graphics, gameplay and story. Each will get a sub-rating out of five. With each rating, I will provide my reasoning.
Story
This game is a separate chapter in the Dead Space storyline, and focuses on an Engineer named Vandal. He is out into the mines of Titan, forced to fight Necromorphs, and he is put in the middle of the battle between the Government and the Church.
The story is hooking and great, but you can get through it quickly (did it in under 5 hours). Hell, there’s even an achievement for finishing the game in uder two hours! The game is short, but sweet. It shows what console to iOS ports should be. (Naughty Bear iOS anyone?)
Rating: 5/5
My first perfect score! Congrats EA, you’ve really written a great storyline for this game.
Gameplay
The game has transferred the controls of the original Dead Space perfectly. From the character-HUD to the location system, everything is extremely well ported. There are a wide variety of new and old weapons, and the Bench allows you to upgrade them.
The left side of the screen is your movement. The right side is camera. Touch the right to shoot. Turn the device slightly to control your secondary fire mode.
The controls were great. I felt everything that was in Dead Space was here in some form (control wise).
Rating: 5 / 5
Plays great. I don’t think they missed one game play element.
Sound
From the creepy sound of a Necromorph screech, to the rewarding tune if it getting its head blown off, every sound in the game adds to the amazingly creepy atmosphere. The voice acting was great, and there was lots of it (unusual for iOS)
Rating: 5 / 5
Deserves the 5. Every sound in this game was great. The horror of getting ripped apart is still here.
Graphics
Thought Infinity Blade had the best graphics? Yeah, but that’s all it had.
Dead Space has great graphics, and it will run on any device that uses iOS. Vandal’s animations look great, and the Necromorph’s keep all their glory. This is one of the best looking games on the system, and I will argue it looks better than Infinity Blade.
Rating: 5 / 5
Excellent, just bloody excellent. All I have to say.
Closing Comment
This game is the re-definition of console on the go. Everything is here. The gameplay, graphics, and story. This is truly Dead Space mobile.
Final Rating:
STORY: 5
GAMEPLAY: 5
SOUND: 5
GRAPHICS: 5
20 / 20
Need copy on launch day
This wasn’t rated as a sequel, as it was a separate story.
By the way, this is my classification system:
SINGLE GAMES:
1-5 – Dropped in the trash
5.5-10 – Try, but no buy
10.5-15 – Fun while it lasted
15.5-17 – Trying recommended
17.5-19.5 – Recommended for buying
20 – Need copy on launch day
SEQUELS, ETC.
1-5 – You say this is related to (insert previous game)?!
5.5-10 – Play the first again, forget this one
10.5-15 – Isn’t bad, but it’s not good
15.5-17 – Recommended for fans
17.5-19.5 – Grab one, even if you’ve never played (insert previous)
20 – Amazing, best sequel ever
