I think it's because it's an on-rails shooter. People can tell when they are getting the second level games no matter how good they are, instead of the main show, and they tend to not want to buy number 2. :P
Dead Space was the real game. Might as well call this "Dead Space: Spinoff - Onrails Wii shooter, move on - game". |
On top of that, they didn't even bother to price the game correctly. The big name rail shooters like House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return, House of the Dead: Overkill, and Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles all have a MSRP of $30. On Amazon they only run $20 new. Why buy Dead Space when I can get two of the other games for slightly less, or all three for just a little more?

Didn't UC and Overkill cost the full $50 at first? I'm sure the latter did, with all the comments about not selling well at full price. If UC did, it at least had enough length, replay value, and brand name to sell at that.
|
I really don't know. That is what the games cost now. But if these games didn't sell well at full price, what makes EA think their game with a weaker IP will?
|
Actually UC sold great the first few months. So the full price is not a problem if there is enough content, and even the positive reviews of Extraction admit there isn't much replay value. Not a good thing for this kind of game.
