DESCRIPTION
Dead Space: Extraction is a sci-fi survival horror shooter made exclusively for Wii, based 2008's Dead Space for high-def consoles and home computers. Players use the Wii Remote as a light gun, to aim and fire at on-screen enemies and other objects. The game is played as an on-rails shooter, with the lead character moving ahead automatically through dark and twisting caverns and corridors, challenging players to watch for upcoming enemies and react quickly. As a prequel to the original, Extraction puts players in the role of deep space explorers in the distant future, battling creepy alien entities that can mutate and animate human corpses. To keep these alien Necromorphs from repeatedly coming back to life, their space zombie hosts need to be systematically dismembered. The game also features environmental puzzles, and players must choose the direction to take when the on-rails path splits, as it does often throughout the adventure. Sci-fi circumstances and space suit abilities featured in the original Dead Space, such zero gravity areas and "stasis" slow-down powers, are factors in combat and puzzle solving. A second Wii player can join the Extraction action at almost any time, through the game's drop-in cooperative multiplayer features. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“Dead Space on the Wii. The developers must be commended for compacting the original Dead Space setting and retooling it to fit on the Wii. Story, sound, voice acting, all top notch with nods and story hooks to both the original game and comic series. Let's take care of the white elephant in the room: it's a rail shooter. You can try to cover up that fact as much as you want, but that's what it is. That said, it's easily the best rail shooter I've played. Even better than House of the Dead: Overkill. It's short (~4-5 hours tops?) in story mode, but quality is definitely over quantity here. Hidden items and logs extend replayability and the option for drop-in coop play with a buddy make this a great title. The devs really catered to the strengths of the console with puzzle segments, audio logs playing through the Wii Remote, and utilizing the motion features of the Remote to activate alt fire on the weapons. Ammo seems to be in short supply (like most survival horror games) and even collecting all that I could find, it was necessary to resort to the rivet gun on occasion. Hope you have a steady hand. Overall, a pretty good game and if you're already a fan of Dead Space, you'll enjoy it.”
