Dead Space Extraction on PS3 Wii

Dead Space Extraction Screen Shots

Dead Space Extraction is a Shooting game available on the PS3 Wii. It can be played in Thirdperson Singleplayer modes.

Dead Space Extraction is a Shooting game. Shooting games present a world in which the character must shoot their way out of dangerous situations. They provide the player with an array of weapons tailored to specific tasks. This unavoidably involves a combination of fisticuffs and gun based fighting that dictates the violent nature of these experiences. Beneath this harsh exterior though is often an intricate tactile game - and this is usually what drives the player.

Dead Space Extraction can be played in a Thirdperson mode. Third Person games view the world from over the right shoulder of the character being controlled. This enables you to see the character you are controlling as well as their surrounds. Although not as immersive as first person, third person games enable more complex moves and interactions with the environment.

Scared Gamer review Thu, 07 Apr 2011

Dead Space Extraction is an interesting guided experience, and manages to firmly hold your hand without compromising the scares. With developer Visceral Games at the helm this prequel to the events of Dead Space is a wonderful companion piece for fans.

Moving down the hall I hope for a chance to stop. I have to proceed before I know though, standing still will only result in death from the ever-growing number of alien forms behind me on the dilapidated mining colony on which I'm trapped. I want to stop, take my time, plan a route and move forward more cautiously, but this just isn't always possible.

Tech Gamer review Mon, 26 Apr 2010

Dead Space: Extraction works its light gun shooter seam with finesse and style. Ingenius camera work, fast paced action and high fidelity controls tell a story as much as the exposition, and result in a game that gets it right in so many ways.

Dead Space: Extraction headlined Electronic Arts' charge on the Wii late last year, one of a bevy of big names the influential publisher sought to make work on Nintendo's incredibly popular console. It was also the most ridiculed on announcement, critics deriding the translation of a technically advanced shooter into graphically outdated light gun game.

Frugal Gamer review Thu, 01 Oct 2009

Hardcore survival horror comes to the Nintendo Wii. Revisit Aegis VII to discover how it all started, before the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 games played out. This on-rails light-gun shooting game sees tensions rise and psyches stretched as players discover the beginning of the necromorph debacle. The dark brooding art style of the Dead Space combines with the familiar weapon set and Wii console controls to recreate that frightfully wonderful experience once again.

Dead Space: Extraction fills out the story before the events of Dead Space on the 360 and PS3 consoles, and the animated film Dead Space: Downfall. Here, we encounter the descent from sanity to madness, from security to fear. And this is well delivered. Even the usual desire to skip cut-scenes fades as players are drawn into the disturbing and well-told events of those early days on Aegis VII.
