Dead Space: Downfall (2008 Video)
4/10
Play the game first!
31 December 2008
I'm going to save a lot of people time and money by simply saying buy the game.

Everything story wise is covered within the game, this movie is a prequel to the game. The story, of what happened before the events of the game, unfolds during the game itself.

The story of Dead Space is extremely clever and in-depth, with lots of shocking twists that perfectly suits the game. The story builds the further you go into the game, it's one of the main reasons why the game is so addictive. The movie just sells the story extremely cheaply and in turn spoils the game.

Now maybe playing computer games is not in your taste, the story of Dead Space is great however this movie is executed extremely poorly. The explanation of what is going on is poor, it's extremely short at only 1 hour 14 minutes, the animation is dire and to top it all off you have really annoying characters.

I can't stress enough that watching this movie will spoil what is a great game. Watching the movie first would spoil the story of the game and ruin some great and shocking game play moments.

Buy the game, love it and maybe you'll be interested enough to buy this but don't expect anything special.
