Dead Space fans should check it out for the fiction. All other interested parties should look elsewhere for a suspensful shooter. [Oct 2009, p.95]

Kudos to EA for bringing this Mature-rated franchise to the Wii and for putting some real effort behind it. Don't let the "guided experience" label scare you. [Nov 2009, p.84]

Sure, its very nature dictates it's a dumbed down take on a sophisticated shooter but it's a classy, atmospheric and very exciting action title nonetheless, pipping Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and House Of The Dead to the Wii's best blaster crown.

Competent execution, decent mechanics, but doesn’t quite hit the mark. Can be a bit dull occasionally, but, overall, worth a try.

Dead space extraction is Pretty much a hidden gem in every sense of the word, it is an on rail shooter that came out on the Nintendo Wii back in 2009. It would later see a release on the PS3 in 2011, yeah it’s on the Nintendo Wii which is not as powerful as the Xbox 360 or PS3 for that matter, but what it lacks in hardware specs it makes up for in story, that basic extraction takes place a couple of weeks before the events of the game and follows about five different people throughout the course of the story you’ll take you’ll take control of Sam Caldwell, but only for the start of the game after which you’ll take control of four other protagonists than being Nathan McNeil a Planet side, security officer, gabe Weller (yes, the same Gabe Weller you play in the dead space 2 DLC), a former soldier turned Ishiura security officer and a hydroponics doctor. However, you only get to control her for one mission, One of my favourite characters in the game is a character called Lexi Murdoch, who actually has a special ability, but I’m gonna let you figure that one out. If you’re looking for a great game on the Nintendo Wii check out dead space extraction. It’s a real treat and it doesn’t pull any punches, sure the The hardware on the Nintendo Wii does bring the graphics down quite a bit, but it more or less makes up for it with the story and gives you some answers as to what happened before the events of dead space. I’m giving dead space extraction an 8.5/10

Pensé que sería mediocre debido a lo que leí en internet, pero resulto ser un Rail Shooter bueno, fue una aventura divertida y visceral, no hubo jefe final :(, esta bueno el juego.

Extraction is one hell of ride. It isn't pants-wettingly scary but it's a well-told story full of believable characters and situations. It does a great job of delving deeper into the Dead Space universe and offers up some genuinely engaging moments of run-and-gun action.

Extraction manages to come through on its promise of a cinematic experience by embracing the genre’s limitations and bending the expectations of what an on-rails game can and should do, all the while playing to the Wii’s strengths and pushing its technical abilities to new highs.

This game is great! I'm way behind because I didn't know about this game until a month ago, but I'm way into it. I have a 360 and a Wii. I originally got Dead space 1 on the 360 and was in love. Then I had Dead Space 2 pre ordered when I discovered there was a Wii addition rail type shooter that was the prequel. I was kinda sceptical because I played a Shooter "on-rails" before on Wii and didn't think it was very fun. I used to love those types of games in arcades, but never appealed to me very much on consoles. But, this game pushes new boundaries. For being on the Wii the graphics are top notch. And the way they went with the game being "on-rails" is awesome. It's more like watching a movie and you are the main character. There is a lot of cut scenes, but they are well done and the acting is awesome for a video game. Then in the middle of watching this "movie" you get to shoot a bunch of things. It is the best game on Wii I have ever played and I love how it fills in the story more about how things got so bad before Dead Space 1.

By far one of my favorite games for the Wii. Controls are pretty responsive and I love the fact that they went for an "on rails" type of gameplay. This one is a must for Dead Space fans and Wii collectors.

Overall the transition from third to first person is smooth and the on-rails gameplay really helps to make it a mature title as it captures the visual details that Dead Space is known for.
83
As an expansion of the Dead Space universe, it provides necessary sustenance for Dead Space fans, and a fun introduction for newcomers. The game avoids treating the Wii as a gimmick, incorporating a minimum amount of waggle -- except for when you need to brush off an enemy or activate your Glow Worm (for some reason, in this future nobody has a flashlight, but there are plenty of glow sticks).

This is a well-honed, impressive light gun game with high production values and a lot of atmosphere.

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.

Extraction presents a quandary. It's a pretty short game, at only five or six hours, and after what looks like a great setup for a big exciting finale, the game just sort of... ends, abruptly and poorly.

I went back and forth throughout my playthrough regarding whether or not I liked the on-rails idea behind this game. It made it unique in the Dead Space universe, and made for some interesting gameplay (once I didn't have to worry about my footing). At the same time, I didn't like that I couldn't loot certain items because I didn't look at the area long enough. I appreciated that the game wasn't overly long, but has replayability in the form of repeatable challenges, which cut out the cutscenes of the game and get you right into the action. So, there's a little something for everyone in this game.

This game isin't the best railshooter, but it's still good enough. The game focuses more on story and cinematic experience than any other same genre game I have played. The graphics are good for Wii game, but the immersion of being one of the characters is broken all the time, which is a shame. For example, there are numerous times, where as small thing as seeing your hands when you're climbing something, could have helped with keeping the immersion. Weapons don't also feel powerful like when using arcade pistols, though Wiimote could be blamed about it. This game is pretty long for a railway shooter, but it's still pretty short compared to other games (4-5 hours). If you can find this game very cheap, buy and play it with your friend. There isin't anything scary in this game anyway.

Questo e il gioco più orrendo del intero pianeta comandi fatti male e gameplay noioso e ripetitivo.
