Gamespot- Dark Matter Review

GS:Dark Matter is a side-scrolling survival horror game that cribs liberally from the likes of Dead Space, Aliens, and pretty much any other property that has pitted a lone protagonist against creepy crawlies on a derelict spacecraft. The familiarity doesn't stop there, though; with a gun-toting heroine to a 2.5D presentation, it has also got some strains of Metroid and Shadow Complex coursing through its veins. In borrowing from the best, Dark Matter delivers some convincing atmospheric touches, but a number of issues–from the mildly annoying to the downright frustrating–keep it from matching the quality of its many inspirations.
