As i said in the other thread...

"Dead Space: Extraction is at 83 on Metacritic right now. Not bad quality for a "test" game.

Infact by review's it's of higher quality than Wii Sports Resort, Muramasa:TDB, Mario Kart Wii, Mad World, Wii Fit, House of the Dead: Overkill and The Conduit."

I have not played Dead Space: Extraction, but I can say for certain that it's not as good of a game as Wii Sports Resort or Mario Kart Wii.  WSR is a game that is revolutionary with it's controls and Mario Kart Wii is the best racer of this generation. 

Go ahead and put up a laughing head or whatever you want in response.

and the fact that all these games have below 83 at metacritic shows how fair reviews are to wii games...

Review scores are meaningless when it comes to the Wii, they should just do a Yes/No advice cause they have a hard time being objective (find me a Wii IGN review without the word "Waggle" in it...)

No it doesn't show how fair they are at all.

You can't prove any bias towards the HD systems, especially when until just recently Super Mario Galaxy was the top rated exclusive this generation and Twilight Princess was the joint second (Until Uncharted 2 came along). Or when remakes and re-releases can score a AAA mark.

Infact, Wii has the most AAA exclusives this generation...

Let us speak plainly.

Money talks. And when Carnival Games outsells Punchout, The Counduit, House of the dead Overkill, Dead Space: Extraction, No more Heroes, Tales of Symphonia, Okami and Fire Emblem COMBINED what sort of a message do you think that sends to third party developers?

Too bad there's no data on World of Goo though (Wii's only AAA rated third party exclusive).

Maybe this will teach EA not to insult the Wii platform by creating a stupid on-rails shooter. I mean last I played something like that was in my neighborhood arcade years ago (House of the dead) and almost puked after that.
Can't thank the media for giving this one high scores, it should be marked down just for being on-rails.

Let it flop. Wii owners didn't buy it because they didn't want it. It's that simple.

Non Will fans are more upset that it flopped while Wii owners don't care... lol!

It's on-rails. I define that as soft-core. I don't care about setting, atmosphere, or anything else, it's on-rails and therefore not hardcore.

On rails is your excuse for it selling horribly?

Third parties just don't get it, Wii gamers like quality first party game, we have Nintendo, so all that stuff that PS360 fans are willing to stomach just won't fly on the Wii, you want to sell on the Wii you have to be as good or better than Nintendo, you have to bring the fun

Fixed

I suppose Zak and Wiki, NMH, Mad World... aren't 'quality'? Correct me if I'm wrong here.

I own all three of those games and, compared to Nintendo-games? No, they are not. They're all good fun (especially NMH which shines above both Zack & Wiki and MadWorld imho), but they are far from Nintendo-level.

Why did you put "we need to talk about it" in your thread title? There's a million other threads about it, and we're all pretty much in agreement that nobody cares about this game, its lack of marketing (it's just a test), its lack of effort (it's just a test), its lack of sales, its lack of quality, or its lack of fans. Nobody cares and nobody likes it. We really don't need to talk about it. Anymore.

Nobody cared?

Explain, please.

Lack of quality and effort?
