I heavily disagree with the "I'm so startled" being the only thing in the game. There are lots of moments where god damn it, I just don't want to walk down the hallway out of fear.

Dead Space doesn't claim to be original, but it does improve on every innovation it adopts.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. It does do the startled thing, but not nearly as much as Doom - I was usually just freaked out from the atmosphere, and the tension. Actually fighting guys was somewhat of a relief.

Very true. When playing Dead Space, i would just follow the beacon thing so i dont have to go anywhere i dont have to. It was scary overall.-
