NO SPOILERS

Wii release played by James For Dead Space: Extraction I chose to play the original Wii release. I tend to play games the way they first came out so you will see me do this often. From beginning to end I was very happy with this title. It maintained a high level of story, death, gore and intensity that the franchise has become known for. The game even looks great, though the Wii is not an HD console it still holds up well. One of the only gripes I have for this title is the motion controls. Usually an on-rails shooter is really fun to play by pointing at the screen and for the most part this game is. What I found is that shooting in the extremely dark environments, hitting tiny hit-boxes of bosses and killing far away enemies can get frustrating at times. All that being said, I highly recommend this game. It’s not too long, not too hard, has cool extras like motion comics and oh yeah, it’s not very expensive to pick-up and add to your collection.

Dead Space: Extraction is a 2009 rail shooter and prequel to the 2008 video game Dead Space. Extraction takes place before the events of Dead Space and during the same time as the film Dead Space: Downfall.  It is the only game in the series to be released on a Nintendo console. Although initially a Wii exclusive, it was announced during E3 2010 that a port of the game would be included in the PlayStation 3 version of Dead Space 2 Limited Edition, using the PlayStation Move controller.

The game revolves around a group of space colonists from the Aegis VII colony fighting against the infection of Necromorphs created when the Red Marker is removed. Necromorphs are the re-animated, mutated corpses of humans and serve as the major antagonists of the game.
