It's good you won't get attached to the characters or anything but it has decent action and a good creepy vibe oh and far cry isn't much better
It was like choosing between shit and shit.
Far Cry 2 was good but if you played Far Cry 1, 2 has absolutely no connection to 1. Then there's that awful "drive to your objective which is across the map" thingy. Then there's the "Dudes stopping you and shooting at you every 5 minutes when you're driving".
Can't say anything about Dead Space 'cause I never played it, but I gotta say Far Cry 2 isn't really a good game. Mediocre at best.
But to be honest you were better off not buying any of those games.

The zero gravity and vacuum sections are highlights, the first major boss is THE highlight.
It gets better after the initial couple of levels/chapters and it is actually quite good after that.

Like others have said, you need to give it some time to get going, after that you'll think what what my friend did (and I quote) 'Jaysis H. Christ! This shit's good!'.
I found this game to be fun (even if it wasn't the scariest thing I've seen and the characterisation drizzled away quicker then you can say 'Bioshock').

It does get better. There's more enemies, and bigger enemies, and big boss battles aswell. The storyline is long so it takes quite a while to complete.
It's a good game, the story is boring and so are the characters though. The game does get better after a while, but it's like halfway through it.
It's a crappy horror game and a decent shooter. The "horror" comes down to basic shock effect of stuff popping out behind you and that's about it. The game has a good backstory, but it's not really explained very well, and the characters are about as flat as they come.
The worst part is that the last level and a half totally abandon any pretense of horror and are more akin to line shooters. And the final boss fight is about as hard as wiping your arse...

Dead Space is neither the "best shooter ever made" nor is it "total crap". It falls squarely inbetween those two extreems. It would be a much better game if it wasn't for the frustratingly stupid way that you repair the ship. That thing on your suit that slows time down or something to help you fix parts of the ship is really hard to use. I just can't master the timing needed to fix some of the ship. It wouldn't be so bad if these repair puzzles didn't grind the momentum of the game to a screechin halt. Your running along, enjoying the heck out of killing mutated/infected/possessed crew members when you crash into a dead end caused by some door or ship module you must fix in order to do anything else.
Sure the same sort of thing happened sometimes in the superior Half-life games, but at least those puzzles weren't as close to being impossible to solve as the ones in Dead Space are. I didn't mind the interruption of the puzzles in HL quite as much as once I figured out what to do, I was physically able to pull off the button presses to work the solution. Even when I'm kinda sure I have the solution, I can't always move fast enough to work the solution in Dead Space.
Yet another game I've had to abandon because my reflexes and hand-eye-coordination aren't superhuman enough. sigh...

When I first played, I found it to be decently challenging. But after uping my arsenal and armor a bit, I found it to be boringly easy except for a few parts.
dead space is almost a complete remake of System Shock 2, which is 10 times better.
its another of EA´s "we copy that game, give it a new main character that never speaks, some new weapons, and then we release it". luckely Apple is buying EA and will hopefully break it down for more money. then we can be free of crappy wannabe games and repeative release (*cough cough* all EA´s sport games *cough*)
