Story
Dead Space Extraction tells the untold story of the Aegis VII Colony through a handful of survivors battling to reach the orbiting USG Ishimura amidst a horrific infection and the initial invasion by a violent alien race known as Necromorphs. As these survivors' allies mysteriously fall victim to dementia, it becomes clear that protecting a young girl granting them a bizarre immunity may be their only hope for survival in a struggle that could have implications for all of humanity.

Gameplay
Although designed to preserve the feel of the action of the original game, gameplay in Extraction is also quite unique. First, the player perspective has been changed from third, to first-person, placing all the action right in front of you. Also, Extraction is a 'rail shooter,' meaning a shooter game where most of the action engaged in and paths followed are programmed into the mission play, instead of the freeform wandering ability built into the considerably larger Next-Gen and PC Dead Space release. The combination of these two changes funnels the players focus onto the combat options available in the game. In dealing with the danger of the alien Necromorphs swarming the game space, Dead Space Extraction utilizes the precision of the Wii Remote in variety of ways. Weapons like the Plasma Cutter can dispatch these enemies from a distance by taking advantage of the remote's pointing targeting ability, while a quick wave can activate weapons like the Ripper, a guidable spinning saw blade. The Wii Remote is also handy for picking up items and hurling them at enemies using the power of Kinesis.

Other gameplay changes include new play modes. The most notable of these is the inclusion of a two player co-op play option. This allows an additional player to drop in or out of the action as he/she chooses. The game rebalances the opposition in these cases to make sure that the gameplay doesn't become too easy. In addition, Extraction also features a Challenge mode in which after certain sections of the game are cleared, areas within those sections are unlocked for bonus arcade style action where players build up points linked to how many Necromorphs are destroyed. Taken together all these changes add up to more action, more fun and more Dead Space for players on the Wii.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, just awesome, September 30, 2009
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Dead Space Extraction (Video Game)
On-rails shooters usually tend to end up becoming mundane and boring after a while, but as of late, the Wii has seen a couple quality ones, such as Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles and House of the Dead: Overkill. Now from EA, we get Dead Space: Extraction, a prequel to the spectacular action/horror/shooter from last year that graced the higher powered consoles. For the Wii, the Dead Space world has been translated from a survival horror game to an on-rails shooter almost flawlessly, and the game is packed with enough action, scares, and shooting action that one can't help but enjoy what they find here. If you've played the original Dead Space, you'll recognize quite a bit of what you find here: from the areas and environments to the weapons, Dead Space: Extraction is simple enough to get into even for those who may be unfamiliar with the original. It should also be noted that for being a Wii game, it looks simply spectacular, and the necromorphs look just as nasty here as they have before. The game's story is enthralling and as you progress through the game further and unlock some wonderfully utilized motion comics, you just get sucked in even more. The only real flaw with Dead Space: Extraction is that aiming isn't always quite as easy or accurate as you might hope for. Still though, as far as on-rails shooters go, Dead Space: Extraction is one of the best around right now that you'll play, and even if you're unfamiliar with the original game, this is definitely worth your time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Death on Rails, October 8, 2009
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Dead Space Extraction (Video Game)
Dead Space: Extraction is the best rail shooter I've ever played. To be quite honest, it's possibly the best Wii game I've ever played! The graphics, audio, and gameplay are all superb and represent what all developers should be striving for with this genre.

Visceral Games has pushed the Wii's graphics capabilities to the max on this one. Of course, that's not saying much when compared to the original title on the PS3 and 360. You're not going to see the same lighting or particle effects, but you will be impressed by it's stability and framerate. The environments are actually very detailed, and the characters' facial expressions are pretty realistic.

The sound effects are every bit as eery as the original's. The score provides a heightened sense of tension throughout the game. Like any good horror movie, Dead Space's use of silence punctuated with intense creepy sounds keeps you on your toes.

As you've probably already gathered, this is a rail shooter. The only thing you control is the reticle on screen, what type of weapon you fire, and telekinesis to grab goodies. Even though it's a rail shooter, it doesn't feel too "arcady." There's enough challenge and customization (upgrades, weapons cache, player rating) to keep you coming back after you've finished the campaign. The fact that you can't really control where you go doesn't hurt the experience.

Having played and loved the original Dead Space on the PS3, I was a tad skeptical about how it would translate to the Wii. Those fears have been alleviated! If anything, I'm glad I have a reason to fire up my Wii. Moreover, I'm glad the Dead Space story is being fleshed out. It's creepy, intense, and just plain fun!

This review is from: Dead Space Extraction (Video Game)
Many people might be disappointed about the new direction this title takes Dead Space into, but if you like "light gun" titles and are open to change you just might enjoy this one. That said, I think anybody who has played a little bit of Extraction can dispel the garbage of it being a cheap cash-in. A lot of work went into this title, more than would have been necessary to make a quick buck. It has great voice acting, detailed graphics, and a storyline that answers a lot of questions as to how the disater on the Ishimura came to be. No, you aren't alone for most of the game, and no you don't have complete control over where you are heading (although there are small instances where you can choose a direction on a branching path), but this is still survival horror at it's finest. You won't be jumping out of your seat with cheap scares, but there's nothing that compares to the tension and panic you feel when four necromorphs are bearing down on you and you're blasting away for your life ( I was swearing up a storm and shooting off every limb in sight just to keep them off me!). It doesn't detract from the enjoyment when you pull a 2nd player into the mix for co-op action, either. Hell, you've got computerallies, might as well play with a real one! My brother and I played through a few parts of the campaign with me and having never really played Wii before he was pretty impressed with what he saw. Overall, I was skeptical when I ordered it, but once I was 10 minutes into it I felt it was well worth the money spent!
