And did I mention the whole thing is voice acted? Weapons look not only futurisitc and worthy of your nerd love, but functional, too. With six different environments to fight (and survive) through, you'll constantly be finding something new to look at (and admire). The opening sequence of the game also realy shows off the masterpiece EA has put together for us. Vandal looks like an absolute boss, and the glowing column along his spine (along with the rest of his getup) is incredibly detailed. Yeah, they're not quite PC or console graphics (that's especially evident on the Necromorphs close up), but by and large, everything looks amazing. Just like with the non-existant joystick, it just works. No buttons to push, no combos to remember, just a quick tilt and the accelerometer will handle the rest. For those mining weapons that can shoot either horizontally or vertically, EA employed a quick screen tilt to change firing modes. Shooting is equally intuitive, with a simple tap bringing up your targeting reticule, and another tap popping off a shot. ![]() It works, and I hope to see other enterprising game developers shamelessly copy this control method for their own games. It's effective, it feels good, and you never run the risk of stretching your hands too far out and running into the bezel, thereby stopping your movement completely. Instead of limiting your movement within an imaginary circle, EA simply says, "Move your fingers on top of Vandal as though you were using a virtual joystick and he'll respond appropriately." EA has finally come up with a control scheme that doesn't use a restricting virtual joystick but still is as tight and (fairly) precise as a physical one. ![]() ![]() You expected that.įor a mobile game, Dead Space plays well. Necromorphs start pouring out from every hole and crevice, gallivanting about all nimbly bimbly, all with the intent to gobble you up.īut this is Dead Space. You play the aptly-named Vandal, a voice-distorted, identity-protected agent of the Church, who is "perfect" for sabotaging power supplies and causing havoc on his ship.
