Kinesis

One of the two special abilities in Dead Space is kinesis. This is the ability to control objects by manipulating gravity. The kinesis ability allows the player to pick up and throw large objects, open doors and move switches from a distance. It can be effective means of attacking enemies or providing cover for the player. This ability is also necessary in solving many of the puzzles in the game.
Stasis

The other special ability available to the player in Dead Space is stasis. This is the ability to temporarily slow objects or enemies. Stasis is most effective in combating large numbers of enemies, allowing the player to hold off some enemies, while dispatching the rest.
