DEAD SPACE: AFTERMATH was a rather big disappointment compared to DEAD SPACE: DOWNFALL, Even though DOWNFALL was no breakthrough epic in animation, it was still pretty good, it was more of a good versus evil type story and it managed to build tension through the use of great sound effects and had characters that you did grow to care about.
In AFTERMATH you have a plot told in four different perspectives from four central characters, an approach to storytelling I'm not to particularly fond of because here the central characters are each interrogated and each time the action heats up we go back to the interrogation part where they bring in another character to be interrogated before we can get back to the main plot and every time this happens you'll find yourself going "Get on with it already." I admit I've only played the first DEAD SPACE so far but other reviewers have already said that the people who made this film probably didn't play the game, I'm inclined to agree with them.
