Once boarded, he discovered a malevolent alien presence and was left alone and weaponless to survive this horror ordeal.

• Strategic Dismemberment - The core game mechanic is the strategic and brutal dismemberment of Necromorph appendages. It's all about seeing bone fragments and arterial spray fly across the room.
• Terrifying Setting and atmosphere - An immersive, interactive horror movie experience. State-of-the art graphics and effects built on an EA proprietary engine, an emergent, panic-inducing audio system, and a nuanced, scary pace will wrench you headlong into the terror.
• Zero gravity - Survive and destroy the Necromorphs in zero G environments. Manipulate gravity with Havok physics to solve puzzles and destroy the infestation.
• Thrilling story - Isaac will discover the Ishimura's fate by picking up the last logs of the Ishimura's murdered and hideously transformed crew. The game experience is just a small part of a larger story tapestry that extends through different media and line extensions.
