I preordered Dead Space 3 a few months ago and got it at the store on a couple days ago, and I've been playing for a while, and my opinion...
BEAST.
I beat it twice already, one in singleplayer, two in co-op, and, i've run across some weird stuff in the game. Rocks not moving when they should, a giant snow monster getting stuck and unable to move, and a zombie that wouldn't die (a zombie which was NOT a regenerator)
speaking of regenerators,
i hate them. completely. they do put up quite a challenge and all, but it always feels like if you just get too close to one of those walking traps, then you're committing suicide.
same thing for the rock climbing missions. those things are glitchy as hell. one wrong move, and you practically got a spontaneous combustion.
as for the crafting, better than minecraft. better than team fortress. better than far cry, even.
well, i'm off to play some dead space.
space.
