Dead Space Extraction

Here's the opening 10 minutes of the game:

Aside from the shitty voice acting, this game looks promising.

The Hive Mind is in Extraction but it can't be fought but at least you get to fend off a swarm of it's giant tendrils coming at you. Now that I think about it, exactly how the heck did a thing like that get from the Ishimura to back down in the colony on the planet?

With this game being a prequel and having new bosses, it would explain a whole lot as to why in the first Dead Space, there's not that many giant monsters and why we got such lame bosses. All the good ones were probably taken before Isaac showed up.

Got this today; pretty good stuff so far. All the better for a casual co-op option.

Btw, that video above is NOT the opening 10 minutes.

Is it fun as far as rail shooters go?

Well I actually rather like rails shooters when done well so I'd call it fun full stop. It is better than Umbrella Chronicles, and that was not a bad game.

worth picking up if you have less then 10 wii games?

I'm not quite clear on the way that hio many games you have affects that, but yes.

Allow me to rephrase, is it worth adding to your collection?

This looks all too fun, if you ask me. I may have to pick this game up this weekend.

Oddly enough... one of the impressions you get when playing it is that it didn't HAVE to be on rails. The whole thing is in full 3d running smoothly and at some points you can look around freely and it all works rather well; you just lack the ability to control your movement.

It's almost as if they were able to do more with the engine than they thought. It looks pretty darn good for Wii too.

I think the biggest issue will be that it is too short.

I'm so looking forward to playing this game. I'm a big fan of the original
and I've been hearing nothing but praise for this game.

I'm not much of big fan of on-rail shooters, but THOTD😮verkill got me hooked up, and DS:E sounds even better

HOTD: Overkill looks like SO much fun. I have heard that it spews the essence of "Grindhouse".

It does from the very first intro (so do the loading screens)

the story is so (intentionally) bad and hilarious. The intro for every character is amusing (the first boss is priceless), each level has it's "grindhouse" title (complete with poster). it has tons of cursing by the minute (I think it has the title of "game with the most offensive language ever"😉, great one liners (don't say the Z word)... and I think the lip sync is atrocious (though I think that's also intentional)

the game itself it's quite fun, though pretty easy. It's fast and sometimes relentless. You have to be quick to pick up all secrets. It's a blast to play co-op, and it's got quite a few challenges to play outside the main game.

Best Zombie experience this side of "Shawn of the Dead" (though Dead Rising 2 sounds great as well)

back on topic: I hope DS:E is just as fun

Wait, how do you guys know the game will be short and how short are we talking here?

How do I know? I've played through a lot of it it. It's less than ten hours, and if you concentratew on just playing through the plot and nothing else, closer to 5. There are the challenge missions to do as well, if you like that sort of thing, Better with a friend.

As a Dead Space fan, this game has truly wowed me. It's violent, it's creepy, and it has lots of Necromorphs. This is indeed worth the money.

never judge a book by its cover

hopefully you learned that now 😉

I never judge a game by its cover no matter how pretty it looks and what do you know? You don't know what games I buy.

It's not supposed to be taken literally.

So Ush how is the game storywise? Does it do a lot of explaining te backstory of Dead Space or is it still much a mystery?

I've not actually played the original!

But the game certainly puts a lot of effort into story. Actually it is an exceptionally narrative game. You spend at least as much time in story interaction as action.
