Trivia

This game was reportedly banned in China and Japan because of the game's excessive gory violence involving, several dismemberments that the player character can perform on the enemies. However, it has since been confirmed that this was a marketing ploy, and that the game was not banned in any country.

Goofs

Whenever the player immolates a Necromorph with the flamethrower, the creature will be set ablaze, but will suddenly become dismembered rather then get charred and dehydrated.

User Reviews

Great Game in 2 and 3D

The mark of a good game is that you can go back and play it again with the same or even more enjoyment. This is one of those games. My review is a little late as DS has been out for quite some time but I just played it again and found it better second time around. I do not think DS was made specifically for 3D but it plays OK except for some shadow effects that tend to make you go cross-eyed! Apart from that it is quite good with nice depth of field. In favour of DS is the fact that it is not short and you have a definite final objective in finding your girlfriend. I like a game that does not totally bamboozle you to the point where you are stuck and give up in frustration. Once you master various "Powers" the fights with the Necromorphs are very satisfying. I would really like to know how big the USG Ishimura is in height as the elevator rides suggest it could be over 40 stories!! you can take a Tram on this outer Space Behemoth believe it or not but then again it is set waaaaaay into the future, Great Game. Ratcat.
