Dead Space 3 leans more action and co-op but stays a great game once you accept its choices. The weapon crafting is brilliant, the claustrophobia fades into icy planets, and co-op with Carver is genuinely worth the trip.

Description
Survival horror by Visceral Games and EA, February 2013. Isaac Clarke and partner John Carver battle a new Necromorph threat and a Unitology sect on an icy planet. Two-player online and offline co-op, survival mode resource management and new frozen enemies to dismember. Third Dead Space series entry bringing co-operation.
An action horror from Visceral Games, Dead Space 3 sends engineer Isaac Clarke to a frozen planet to face the necromorphs and the origin of their threat, with a deep weapon crafting system and a new co-op mode. The oppressive survival horror atmosphere leans more towards action, which divides purists. The strategic dismemberment and the crafting stay rewarding. A good game for fans of space horror, tense action and two player co-op on Xbox 360.
