Dead Space Ignition



Dead Space Ignition is a DLC game for Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network set in the Dead Space universe. It leads directly into the events of Dead Space 2.

An engineer named Franco is ordered to repair a computer mainframe deep in the Sprawl, and his girlfriend, an officer named Sarah, goes along with him to protect him. Once the mainframe is repaired the Necromorphs attack, and Franco and Sarah try to escape. The game gives the player options on what path to take, but no matter what the player does, in the end, and.

Levels are made up of three Hacking Minigames; the player has to complete one, two, or three of them to proceed. One minigame is a race to get your computer program to the end before the other programs while avoiding walls that slow you down. The second is a reverse Tower Defense game; you send out unlimited computer bugs to destroy the computer defenses to reach the program before time runs out. The third is a Light and Mirrors Puzzle where you put down mirrors to bounce color-coded lasers so they hit their corresponding computer program thing.

Completing Ignition unlocked extra weapons and armor for Dead Space 2.


 * Church of Happyology: One of the paths shows the first real glimpse of the Unitologists in action; a temple on the space station, and their huge cryo-stasis freezers.
 * Doomed by Canon: If you played Dead Space 2
 * Fair Cop: Sarah is too hot for law enforcement.
 * Gaiden Game:
 * Guns Are Worthless: Sarah soon realizes that her pistol is worthless against the Necromorphs, but the plasma cutter works a lot better.
 * Hacking Minigame: The entire game is just three different ones. One's really more like a race, and one's like the reverse of a Tower Defense game.
