Dead Space: Ignition should not exist. The first misstep in the series, this ‘game’ (it barely qualifies) is a comic-style puzzler with unnecessary branching story paths intended to pad an otherwise short experience. A lazy story crashes into a lazy cast and ends up in a heap of lazy gameplay and graphics. If I could attribute any positives, the mind-numbing puzzles passed the time for a bit, but the entire experience highlights how rarely going outside the box for an established series works. Do yourself a favour and just skip.

Final Thoughts: Dead Space: Ignition should not exist. The first misstep in the series, this ‘game’ (it barely qualifies) is a comic-style puzzler with unnecessary branching story paths intended to pad an otherwise short experience. A lazy story crashes into a lazy cast and both end up in a heap along with lazy gameplay and graphics. Do yourself a favour and just skip.

Yes this game is not something you should buy for less than 3$, because its short and not that full of gameplay. The puzzles however are pretty fun, I wish they were in the main game (dead space 2). It's also coupled with a darn good comic story. So because I played this on game pass, I give it a 10/10. It's short sure, but its only made to be a little spin off. Puzzles are great fun and story is very good.

Это просто ужасная игра. Будь возможность, я бы еще ниже поставил оценку, но поскольку она даёт небольшие бонусы в Dead Space 2 - я ставлю 4. Тут куча проблем. Самая первая - игра продаётся отдельно, хотя по факту это сюжетное DLC ко второй части DS, и получили его бесплатно только те кто сделал предзаказ DS2 ,ну и кто купил лимитированное издание, я полагаю. Мне жаловатья грех - я прошёл её по подписке EA Access , точно так же как и прохожу вторую часть сейчас на Xbox One S, но сам факт того, что этой версии нет на ПК, даже не знаю, как они выкрутились в дальнейшем, сами бонусы ничтожны за прохождение, плюс сама игра не полноценна. Уродливые катсцены, слабый сюжет, бонусы которые вы получаете от прохождения в DS2 не влияют особо на геймплей, и даже те три уникальные мини-игры, не пересены в DS2. Почему? В чём смысл давать в бонус хакерский костюм, который делает решение одной изи-хакерской головоломки еще проще? Ах да, ПК юзеры, купившие DS2 не получат бонуса, ибо эта игра только на консолях вышла. В общем, позор и порицание EA в очередной раз.

This game is awful, it should be ashamed of even bearing the name Dead Space. There is nothing in this game that feels like a Dead Space game. There's no cutting limbs off of enemies. there's no tension, there's no scary moments, and the cut scenes look like **** An absolute mockery of the Dead Space name.

The most pointless waste of money i have every spent, plot is awful, the comic visuals are badly drawn, and the small amount of game play consists of poorly made puzzle games for which there are far better flash games on the web for free! I doubt my ps3 even hit 1% load.

This game is not really a game, its a pretty well made and enjoyable comic, actually if this would just had been the comic it would have been great! I would have given a higher score, but its because of the stupid puzzles that this game is kind of ruined. It seems to me this is like ruined potential when it came to gameplay since the puzzles get horrifyingly hard near the end. If they would have made longer the comics and make it have a little bit more story then I would be fine! In fact I would be quite pleased to give 5$ its just the stupid mini games that ruin everything. This game CAN be considered only if you are interested in a little story in an interactive comic but the gameplay is just **** ill admit. So think before buying this game.

Just not all that exciting. There's a few hacking mini-games in there that pose a challenge, but the whole package just isn't worth it. It's just so far away from the original Dead Space game that a lot of people just own't get it.

Almost total rubbish !!!! A game is released that you really enjoy (Dead Space 2) and you hear that there is a tie in game that has a main game reward attached to it, so what do you do? Like the chump EA knows you are, you spend your Microsoft points on this piece of useless trash. I hate myself for buying this game, and trust me, you'll feel the same way. Don't do it. It's totally shameless exploitation and manipulation on the part of EA. I paid full price for Dead Space 2 and there is absolutely no justification for the content available for completing Ignition not being available in the main game already. Some people may feel I'm unfairly picking on EA over this, but quite honestly I feel that they are the worst offenders with this kind of thing. Anyway, that's my rant finished. Trust me, this game is not good. Feel free to find out for yourself though.

People judge this game as a stand-alone purchase from xbox live arcade, but what they have to realize is that it was created solely to sweeten the prospect of pre-ordering dead space 2. I, like many others, pre-ordered dead space 2 so I got Ignition for free. I would not recommend purchasing this game by itself because it's not that great ****. It is however a fun little puzzle game especially if you got it for free... not to mention 200 gamerpoints that are fast and easy to get.

a friend told me to try this game. i am never going to listen to him again. this is by far the worst dead space ever. don't waste your time or money on this game it's simply not worth it. the gmeplay and the controls are terrible.

Once I realised that this isn't really a game, and its just some extra background fluff, I actually found myself able to enjoy this 'game'. (It's definitely not a game, more of an interactive comic) The art style of the comics is fairly poor, it has to be said, but I found I was able to forget it once I started to get into the story. I maybe owe a debt of gratitude to the many people who had lowered my expectations enough tht I was actually pleasantly surprised. Not bad for free I think. Not brilliant, but not bad.

This is not the sort of game that you'd buy as a stand alone title or 'fun', it is nothing without the dead space games and there is little fun to be had within it. There is little actual game play and of this there is little variation. The story line is OK but is a bit annoying as certain fates of characters are unavoidable no matter what story path you take (of which there are four). The game literately only consists of three different hacking type mini-games which have all been done before and cut-scenes that are just moving drawings with audio. The ONLY reason anyone should EVER buy this is to get some back story from the Dead Space universe, a little (tiny) kick before the main event that is dead space 2 comes out. If your a fan of dead space and like to see a little more (like the movies and comics) then sure get it if your really want to. It won't last long, it won't be overly interesting and could leave a slightly bitter taste in your mouth but hey its only a fiver...
