. Story
Dead Space Extraction tells the untold story of the Aegis VII
Colony through a handful of survivors battling to reach the
orbiting USG Ishimura amidst a horrific infection and the initial
invasion by a violent alien race known as Necromorphs. As these
survivors' allies mysteriously fall victim to dementia, it
becomes clear that protecting a young girl granting them a
bizarre may be their only hope for survival in a
struggle that could have implications for all of humanity.
Gameplay
Although designed to preserve the feel of the action of the
original game, gameplay in Extraction is also quite unique.
First, the player perspective has been changed from third, to
first-person, placing all the action right in front of you. Also,
Extraction is a 'rail shooter,' meaning a shooter game where most
of the action engaged in and paths followed are programmed into
the mission play, instead of the freeform wandering ability built
into the considerably larger Next-Gen and PC Dead Space release.
The combination of these two changes funnels the players focus
onto the combat options available in the game. In dealing with
the danger of the alien Necromorphs swarming the game space, Dead
Space Extraction utilizes the precision of the Wii Remote in
variety of ways. Weapons like the Plasma Cutter can dispatch
these enemies from a distance by taking advantage of the remote's
pointing targeting ability, while a quick wave can activate
weapons like the Ripper, a guidable spinning saw blade. The Wii
Remote is also handy for picking up items and hurling them at
enemies using the power of Kinesis.
Other gameplay changes include new play modes. The most notable
of these is the inclusion of a two player co-op play option. This
allows an additional player to drop in or out of the action as
he/she chooses. The game rebalances the sition in these cases
to make sure that the gameplay doesn't become too easy. In
addition, Extraction also features a Challenge mode in which
after certain sections of the game are cleared, areas within
those sections are for bonus arcade style action where
players build up points linked to how many Necromorphs are
destroyed. Taken together all these changes add up to more
action, more fun and more Dead Space for players on the Wii.
