Qué inmenso desperdicio. Un sistema de combate mal concebido aplicado a un sistema de niveles insípido, secuencias de sigilo completamente superfluas y una historia y caracterización que parece abrazar más que nunca la idea de "Resident Evil in Space" de la que Dead Space nunca se terminó de librar. Jugar a esto me ha hecho replantearme seriamente si la trilogía original de Schofield fue tan buena como recordaba, o si me dejé llevar por los pitos y flautas del momento. Es aún peor jugar a esto en la versión localizada, porque tienes a actores de calidad doblando escenas que claramente no tenían permitido ver, con lo que el tono se pierde completamente.
En un mundo ideal, esto habría sido el equivalente a Condemned que Monolith diseñó tras el éxito de F.E.A.R. Tal y como se ve ahora, es poco más que una demo técnica vistosa, pero apenas estable, de un ejercicio de soberbia artística.

What a waste. A poorly conceived combat system applied to bland level design, completely superfluous stealth sequences, and a story and characters that seems to embrace more than ever the "Resident Evil in Space" premise that Dead Space never quite got rid of. Playing this has made me seriously rethink whether Schofield's original trilogy was as good as I remembered, or if I got carried away by the whistles. It's even worse to play this localized, because you'll have quality actors dubbing scenes they clearly weren't allowed to see, so the tone gets completely lost.
In an ideal world, this would have been the Condemned equivalent that Monolith delivered after the success of F.E.A.R. As it stands now, it's little more than a flashy but barely stable technical demo of an act of artistic hubris.
