I got to the end of chapter 2 before I finally put the controller down on the very first sitting. Maybe it was the end of Chapter 3. Either way, highly addictive gameplay, engaging storyline, and unbelievably pristine controls are all great things in favor. And the creepy factor is great. If you've been pissed at Resident Evil for having a crap control scheme and inching closer to something that is tight and easy to use, Dead Space is there already!

Clarity of purpose. Clarity of conscience.
