Eurogamer review Dead Space: Extraction review 8/10

8/10

"Luckily for a game with such unapologetic cinematic pretensions, Dead Space: Extraction does a fine job of weaving an engaging sci-fi narrative into a slick action game. Far from being a stripped-down side-show to the main event, Extraction provides yet another reminder of how brainlessly entertaining the on-rails shooter can be when it's done properly. With brilliant core combat and an array of heart-pounding set pieces, this provides ample proof that the Wii can service the hardcore when it wants."

Sounding nice.

Will buy.

Might get it now, after that review. Looks good and I don't mind a good rail shooter every now and again, plus Dead Space was awesome I might as well pick it up, anyone know when it releases in EU?

Wow, Visceral games is really making a name for itself. Let's hope that Dante's Inferno delivers as well :P

I have this game waiting for me at home :D Can't wait to play it with my friend. We love co-op rail shooters.

Im just glad to see the Dead Space franchise grow. Hopefully the same happens for Mirrors Edge.

Extraction is a great game. I've been playing for a couple of hours now. I just can't stop thinking how much more fun it would be if it wasn't on-rails. The game looks stunning, especially considering (I hate to say it) it's a Wii game.

Extraction looks great.

Shame it's on-rails though.

I know.

looks great. nice to see EA supporting the Wii with some original quality titles.charizard1605

hahaha Dead Space got a 7 at Eurogamer. Which, funnily enough, is EXACTLY what I would have rated it. So the Wii spin off is better than the original. :oJandurin

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="Jandurin"] Dead Space wasn't even original when it was the first in the series. This is a spin off, how is it even close to original?Jandurin

Expected... the Wii is good at rail-shooters. Though, I didn't care for Dead Space, and I won't care for this.

Im just glad to see the Dead Space franchise grow. Hopefully the same happens for Mirrors Edge.

Only buying this because am a fan of Dead Space.

Who ever says extraction is better than Dead Space, lol good one.

Any person interested in the Dead Space universe, might wanna check out the movie, Downfall, which is set before Dead Space and the Animated Comics which tell you what happened on planet before that also, all good stuff.

You know EA is going all out with this franchise, Resident Evil of this gen I say.

Dead Space Animated Comic part 1 all parts can be seen on youtube.

I'll happily scream at the top of my lungs once I see a 2 in front of Mirror's Edge.tagyhag

Either way, Dead Space is one of the underdog games this gen, but roll on Dead Space 2.

I don't think it's going to be better than Dead Space.But I'm definitely getting it.Looks great.

Haven't played a rail shooter in forever. Might pick this up.clubsammich91

Your the first, i know of, to like the movie more than the game...

My guess would be that you got your hopes up and saw what was all going on, spoiling yourself.
Wheras most people played the game and then looked at other media content for the game.
The movie came out after Dead Space also...

Either way, Dead Space is one of the underdog games this gen, but roll on Dead Space 2.

[QUOTE="Superzone"] It's still a stupid on-rails game, so I don't give a crap. Why couldn't they just make it play like the first game? Just because it's the Wii I guess it had to be on-rails...HarlockJC

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] Or maybe, MAYBE, they wanted to play to the Wii's strengths. The game being on rail affords them great graphics.Thunderdrone
