Okay, I've only gone through the first two levels on the easiest setting but I can already say this:

PRODUCTION VALUES!  Wow!

This is, IMHO, the best looking game on the Wii to date!  Seeing the levels both before and after the disaster, seeing crowds of people, and absolutely the BEST voice acting and facial animation I've seen in any game for the Wii to date.. this game blows me away!  You know how you have to do levels in Fable II where you "bond" with the other characters through their "cleaver" dialog.. well it actually WORKS here.  I can't get over what a great job they've done creating characters, building a story and drawing you in.  I would have thought that in an on-rails shooter I'd miss the exploration and discovery of Dead Space on the HD consoles, but they give you a few sections where you can look around a little bit.. and there's a LOT of boxes and items to get.

Just as with Dead Space on the HD consoles I'm having ammo problems.  I need to work on using the right tool for the right job.. being forced to take out that last wave of necros with just the rivet gun is kind of painful.  There's some strategy here, some exploration and a whole lot of personality.

What strikes me most is how different in tone the game is to the first one.  You're not the only person left alive, you're part of a whole world that's falling apart around you.  There are all these other people surrounding you, and they feel like real poeple, not like automatons spouting pre-recorded dialog.

You fence-sitters out there - GO GET THIS GAME!  If you don't pony up for something spectacular like this then you don't deserve third party support!

With a glowing review like that, then I will have to put it on the list of games to own before the year is over.

I hate statements like this, I really do. So I should go out and buy all of those high-quality games that I have no interest in and don't like and would bore me to tears just to "send a message" to third-parties? What a crock.

I just submitted my review for editing. Bottom line: It's a fantastic game. Everyone should try it, and I was surprised at how high the production values are. Yeah, it's a light gun on-rails shooter, but you find yourself not caring because the game's atmosphere really draws you in.

Looking forward to the review.... now to just figure out if there is 2 other games I want so I can take advantage of the TRU B2G1Free promotion next week.

Good enough for casuals, I suppose.

The Rivet Gun works for everything but bosses.  At bosses, go ahead and use something else with more punch.

I hear "Impossible" mode is just as easy as Easy.

Dead Space: Extraction

This game is really a mixed bag. I'm only on chapter four and already I've seen more bugs and glitches than I've ever seen in a single game. I've experienced one bug that actually stopped the game and forced me to turn of the Wii. Beyond that I've seen a bunch of odd little glitches. Things like the camera (which is on rails) turning away from a group of monsters before I have finished killing them so that they just attack me from off screen until I am dead. I've had issues where, even though I have a weapon and plenty of ammo, I can't select it. I've seen characters pop in and out of the frame and textures not load. The crazy thing is that even with all that bullshit I keep going back to play it.

It turns out, shooting an alien with a stasis field and then blowing off all its arms and legs is just good fun.

Sounds like he got a buggy copy, but the fact that he enjoyed it despite the potentially experience ruining issues, is really promising. Especially if it was just a bad copy that he received.

Between this game and RE:DC, RE isn't even on my radar anymore.
I only need on on-rail shooter within the next few months, and I thing DSE has won my money.

I was going to save this for the review's Talkback, but I'll throw it out there anyway: I encountered one bug that forced me to reset the level. My character just turned around and stared at a wall and wouldn't move beyond that. Didn't happen again, though, and hasn't since. There are also some texture loading issues, some pop-up, but it doesn't happen very often.

No bugs yet.  I'll mention it here if I see any.  So far it's been silky smooth shooty fun for me.  But it's early in the game yet.

So I was playing some extraction last night (pretty good game, but like most games of this type, the camera looks around to quickly) and I got to the 5 mission I think. It was an underground sewer area where we were wading through water. Everything was going fine, I was really into it, but then the game froze and made a horrible high pitch screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeching noise.

Is there a known bug in this game that causes your Wii to lock up? I had to physically unplug the Wii and plug it back in. The Wii worked fine after that, but I didn't go back into the level to see if it locked up again (it was late last night).

Has anyone else experienced this?

The Wii can do a "hard" power-down if you hold the power button for a few seconds.  When it's frozen like that, that kind of power-down still works.  That way you won't have to unplug it.
