Description

Dead Space is a Sci-Fi 3rd-person survival horror game, in which you play Isaac Clark as he journeys through the USG Ishimura fighting the dead flesh of the crew and trying to find answers.

In Dead Space there is no HUD. All the weapons were originally designed to cut rock and extract metals and minerals, and they are Isaac's only defense against the varying hordes of necromorphs, the disfigured and horrifying ex-members of the crew of the USG Ishimura. On his journey he'll discover the events that have passed on the cracked planet below, deal with zero-G puzzles and strategically dismember enemies.

Trivia

Unfortunately, each platform the game was released (PS3, XBox360, Windows) on, features the same, occasionally reproduced critical bug. In the 6th Chapter, where you are trying to pass the furnaces in the Air Filtration room, the control panels near the locked doors, which you should shoot out, are absent, and there is absolutely no way to proceed in the game. The exact steps to reproduce this bug are still unknown. No fixes exist at the moment of this trivia contribution, but a solution to avoid this bad situation does exist.

Just save your game in the very beginning of each chapter while you are in the tram, and keep it until you finish the chapter. If the bug occurs, just reload your save game and walk through the chapter from the very beginning once more. Just go to the problematic place as fast as possible and examine whether it is the same or not. Do it until the control panels appear, and you'll be able to get along.

I've experienced the bug, playing the Windows version, and the bug disappeared after the first reload of the chapter. So I've finished the game.
