Fun game for the wii. My son and I both like the dead space series and this is a fun co op rail shooter with either a campain or a wave mode.

A must have for any Wii owner, an excellent rail shooter

I’ve never thought about how far Dead Space went after it’s third marketed sequel, but viewing its Wii prequel got me excited. I lived the way they explained how it all went down before Issac Clarke and the crew arrived on the Planet Cracker Ishimura.

Been looking for this game for a long time now. Sort of a hidden gem.

this game is the best shooter game i have ever played. the "arcade" controls are really good. This game is scary as heck especially when the zombies jump out at you. little kids should NOT play this game because they could get nightmares.

An Amazing game that shows the other side. From my personal stand point of the first dead space and the dead space movie itself , dead space extraction puts you in the shoes of the colonist and other survivers at the moment that the terror of undiscribable demon like creatures and crazy thoughts started. So basicaly this game is about what happened from the begining to were Issac and his crew mates bored the ship were the first dead space game took place. In this game you have access to weapons that security personal would only have and more. Like the P-SEC pistol with its high rate of fire and a 3 shot secondary fire ,and it is a weapon that you dont get to use in the first dead space. The one sure thing is story , it will make you understand what happened but at the same time make you wonder. I recomend you see the dead space movie then play the first dead spce then play dead spce extraction and you will end up with the same feeling i had after it all. I was disturebed yet drawn in by the one simple question what will happen next.

so awsome blood gross scary best one thing they should come out with bioshock for wii

Extraction is a first-person rail shooter introducing new enemies, characters, weapons and environments to the Dead Space series. Players also have some degree of control over the camera. The game uses the pointer function of the Wii Remote for aiming at enemies and can also be controlled through the Wii Zapper. Twisting the Wii Remote or Wii Zapper activates a weapon's secondary firing mode, and swinging the Nunchuck (or shaking the zapper) can perform a melee attack or shake off enemies that have grabbed onto the player. Players can use a kinesis option at any time to make objects float, draw closer, or throw them at enemies. Kinesis can also be used to grab flying projectiles and fire them back.

I NEVER played an on rails game before, but since the Wii is somewhat limited for awesome games, I decided to give this a try. Am I glad I did!! I really, really enjoyed this game!!! Being "on rails" means that you have no control over moving your character as the game moves you through automatically. But you do have control over everything else. Shooting, grabbing objects, opening doors and lockers, moving objects, and throwing objects. I got used to it pretty quick and now I am interested in other on rail games. The graphics are incredible for the Wii and the story is as well. I thought the game play was great too. Plenty of weapons to use, and you play with 4 different weapons at a time. You have to "snag" your ammo and other objects using kinesis, and I found this to be the most challenging part of the game since the camera doesn't stay still for long. If you see ammo or something else, you better grab it quick because the camera will move very soon - which is challenging when there are multiple objects to grab. You never get an over abundance of ammo, but you always have just enough. Plus one of the weapons (rivet gun) has unlimited ammo and you always have this to use. I was kind of surprised that there weren't more variety of enemies, but there were still 6-7 different ones, and you get to know what weapons work best on each. You also play as the other characters depending on what chapter you are on. There are no checkpoints so you have to play each chapter to save, which I guess makes it kind of challenging as opposed to say Call Of Duty where there is a checkpoint like every 5 minutes. This game is CREEEEPY so beware!!! I was always so nervous to play to play this but excited too because it is a great game. I would guess that the length is about 7 hours, so not too long. There are 4 different hardness levels to choose from which is great for just about everyone. I bought this used from GameStop for $20 and I think it is absolutely worth it if you like shooters. This is a first person shooter. I'm really bummed out that Dead Space 2 is not on the Wii platform, but I would still recommend this game. You cannot pass this up if you like shooters, on rail games, great stories, cheap price, or great graphics. You will not be disappointed!!

As surprising as it is (it being on the Wii and all) Dead Space: Extraction is actually a pretty great game. It's hard to find some really great games on the Wii, I for one am a fan of the Wii console (hence why I own one) but they don't really have much titles a hard core gamer like myself that are worth picking up, which is also why my Wii collection of games is small. Dead Space: Extraction is however one of Wii's best games on the market, even though it's a rail shooter (which I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about that.) It also plays a very important part in the Dead Space series. It's a great prequel. I definitely recommend this game to all Dead Space fans-trust me, you'll be surprised how enjoyable it is.
