Forums - Nintendo - IGN: Dead Space Extraction Review

BoneArk on 24 September 2009
8.5 Presentation
All the same storytelling mechanics are used, and while the script can be a little silly and cliché the overall package is a great one. Extraction lives up to the Dead Space name.
8.5 Graphics
The environments are impressive, animation slick, and the necromorph models look especially nice. What really pushes limits, however, is the dismemberment. Nice.
8.5 Sound
There’s a bland line here and there, but for the most part Extraction brings some great audio to the table. Sound design is chilling, and there are some great lines to boot.
8.5 Gameplay
Every facet of the Dead Space world is represented, be it stasis, weapon fire, telekinesis, or the truly awesome strategic dismemberment. Bottom line, it’s fun.
8.5 Lasting Appeal
The main story clocks in at around eight or nine hours, and while there’s no online leaderboards challenge mode is a nice addition too. Take or leave the motion comics.
8.5
Great

Eight ot nine hours. Isn't that longer than dead space itself?



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

Very nice.

8.5 is good but the 8-9 hours gameplay bothers me.

Im probably gonna get this anyway. Loved the original.

But WHY ON RAILS?

Why not a regular survival horror with IR aiming and motion control?

Ps: finished the original DS in 10 and a half hours. Eight to nine hours of gameplay its ok.

Please, please do not be intentionally facetious here. Dead Space did not do well on the HD systems, where its entire fanbase is currently centered. Expecting it to do well on the Wii, which does not have much of an audience for this kind of game and certainly not for this franchise, is folly.

No one following this game has expected it to post good numbers, if they themselves have been reasonable.

Pretty much sums up how I feel about it. Best Wii light gun game. The graphics and story are both stunning. Sadly I agree it isn't very scary, but it is still quite creepy and feels very much like the original. 8-10 hours is amazingly long for a light gun game. Heck nowadays most FPS/TPS are lucky to be 7 hours long. And we all know these kinds of games are some of the most replayable.

That's a darn good review for this game, and 8-9 hours for a rail shooter is LOOOONG. I have been pretty disappointed in Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles so far, if this is considerably better, I might check it out.
