Difficulty increases as you go along the story, thereby increasing the challenge, but there is zero motivation for being challenged. Unfortunately, and as you can probably assume from these descriptions, the games themselves are not in the least bit fun. The three mini-games available are familiar in their basics Trace Route involves racing your wire against others attempting to catch you as you avoid firewalls in the system, while System Override requires you to send out viruses to attack the anti-viruses in a device and gain control of it and, finally, Hardware Crack tasks you with matching colors to nodes on a piece of hardware by using reflectors to change their direction and guide them along the correct path. Although the idea of a motion graphic novel geared visual design seemed unique, particularly given the focus on storyline in Ignition, the overbearingly dull mini-games that encompass the gameplay experience in this prologue do not make the journey seem worthwhile.įor those of you who are fiending for more background story to the events leading up to Dead Space 2, Dead Space Ignition might be worth the trek through games that suffer from a lack of perspective. However, and also as a Dead Space fan, I was incredibly let down by Dead Space Ignition. The game offers four unique endings and upon completion of each one, players will be rewarded with unlocks including an exclusive suit, all of which can be used by Isaac Clarke in Dead Space 2.As a Dead Space fan, a prologue to the upcoming and long-awaited sequel was definitely intriguing to me. Dead Space Ignition features a unique “Choose Your Own Adventure” type narrative, allowing players to survive the horrific Necromorph outbreak in multiple ways. Each game offers a fun and satisfying arcade experience that will challenge players with puzzles and twitch gameplay.

Hours before engineer Isaac Clarke begins his adventure on “The Sprawl” in Dead Space 2, a Necromorph outbreak occurs - but how did the events unfold? Players witness the horror first-hand in Dead Space Ignition, a downloadable game that takes place on the Sprawl and challenges players to survive the initial Necromorph outbreak.ĭead Space Ignition combines an interactive comic-style story with three unique hacking mini games Hardware Crack, Trace Route and System Override.
