Dead Space Extraction Review

I recently bought Dead Space Extraction, for the Wii. It rocks.

The Original Dead Space was a 3rd person action adventure game for the Xbox 360 and PS3 systems. Dead Space Extration is a 1st-person-on-rails prequel to that game. On-rails meaning you won't be doing any direct moving (Think of Time Crisis/ any other arcade shooter).



Set in an apocalyptic time in the future, the story revolves around an alien artifact that is being extracted. Something goes wrong during the extraction process, which causes people to develop dementia. Eventually everybody is either turned into a monster, or killed- which leaves you and your fellow survivors on a trek to find a safe haven without alien monsters.



There are plenty of cool weapons to use against the mutants (I won't spoil any), and each has an alternative projectile to be launched- achieved by simply twisting your wrist 90 degrees before shooting. Genius.



It plays like a movie, as there is almost no interface to the experience. Framerate is good. Sound is eerie. Visuals are stunning. 2-player co-op is a cinch to set up. My only complaint about the game would be that it doesn't go at your own pace, so events that should make you jump out of your seat don't make you jump out of your seat.
If you're easily scared don't buy this game- but if you like horror, science-fiction, or guns, pick up this title now!




VERDICT? 4.9/5

SHMU's OPINION: fuck this, you get to play on your wii while i sit at home with a fucking broke xbox the day i got a new game. Also Andy has confirmed how Asian he is by only posting about nintendo wii games. Andy you told me you were white washed by living in the OC but right now your look like the asian kid in the corner playing a gameboy and reading anime.
