Dead Space has received positive critical and commercial reception. Xbox World 360 awarded the Xbox 360 version a 91 out of 100, stating the game was a "nail-biting experience," driven forward by a "film-worthy" script and "inspired" setting, and that it was "Rapture in space (a reference to the underwater setting of hit game BioShock): every bit as disturbing, just as meticulously designed and easily as believable."[35] PlayStation World awarded the game 9/10 and a PSW gold award, stating that Dead Space is the "world's scariest game", saying "This is bold, bleak gaming from the haunting opening credits to the pulse pounding finish."[36] IGN rated the game 8.7/10, saying it was "visually striking, everything from the holograms to the Necromorph is incredible." Game Pro awarded the game a 5/5.

1UP.com gave the game a B+, saying that it is "incredibly polished", but slightly repetitive. Eurogamer gave the game a 7/10, saying "Dead Space easily delivers on that promise, but fails to turn its polished production values into something truly memorable over the long haul." GameSpot rated Dead Space at 9.0 out of 10, calling it "an incredibly atmospheric and disturbingly gruesome deep-space adventure that will haunt your dreams and leave you begging for more." Game Informer rated the game at 9.25 out of 10, saying "Although the reasons for most missions are mundane, the game always falls back on its great gameplay and atmosphere." The Guardian gave Dead Space four stars. X-Play has also given Dead Space four stars out of five. Game review site Giant Bomb gave Dead Space 5 out of 5, saying it was extremely atmospheric and very good on the technical side of things as well. Gaming blog Gamer's Case gave it a 9.4/10, claiming Dead Space to be scarier than Resident Evil. Gametrailers.com gave it 8.8 out of 10, praising the audio, the atmosphere, and the dismemberment, saying that "it was interesting to unlearn the head shot". Its main criticism was a lack of enemy types, and no hot buttons for certain items, but many claimed that the item problem only amplified its already frightening atmosphere.[37] Initially, Dead Space community manager Andrew Green stated that China and Japan had banned the game. However, it has been confirmed many times that it was all just a marketing ploy and that Dead Space hasn't been banned in any country whatsoever.

Dead Space was a commercial success as well, with EA CFO Eric Brown confirming 1 million sales in 2008 across three platforms.[40]

Dead Space is a third-person survival horror-action video game, developed by Visceral Games (formerly known as EA Redwood Shores) for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. The player takes on the role of an engineer named Isaac Clarke, who battles a polymorphic, virus-like, alien infestation which turns humans into grotesque alien monsters called "Necromorphs", on board a stricken interstellar mining ship named the USG Ishimura.
