The difference is your TV.

Possibly, though I think having the in-game brightness settings properly calibrated from the start had a lot to do with it as well. I don't know if this new TV is an LCD or not like my (technically newer) 24 in. monitor that I use for my PS3 exclusively now, but Wii games in general just seem to look better on it.

Big TV makes Big difference with rail shooters. That's how it was with me an RE:UC

I just tried this game because I heard it was unfairly overlooked and rail shooters always get played by several people in my house. It is a terrible rail shooter.

I could tell something was wrong right away when a rail shooter started with a tutorial. If you need a tutorial section in your point and shoot game you're doing it wrong.

I played it for about 40-50 minutes and I shot like 12 people/zombie things. 12 enemies in a game where shooting is all I do. (Well I guess they make me open the doors for no apparent reason) The arcade action is the freaking point, if I want to watch a movie I'll put in a dvd. I didn't try a rail shooter so I could watch people blabbing for 20 minutes, shoot 3 people then go back to the talking. If I had the ability to move around or interact it would be actually bearable, but nooo. Also I wonder why they force you to use the nunchuk. That would be cool if the game actually needed an analogue stick but instead it essentially becomes the way for me to change weapons while I have a lot of unused buttons on the remote. After restarting one of the early parts and realizing I need to sit through 20 minutes of people leading me around and blabbing away I stopped. Does this get better in the future? I was trying to play co-op and we just wanted to PLAY, not sit through dialogue we don't care about. Definitely a game I will not buy and I really like light gun/rail shooters. It deserves the sales it got, especially with all the other options for your rail shooting needs.

It has better action points as it goes on, but the overall lack of fun continues. Wait until you die and have to restart a level and go through the slow pace in game cutscenes again.

I recommend HOTD: Overkill instead.

Halbred · « **Reply #505 on:** January 19, 2010, 07:25:34 PM »

I think the games are totally different. HoTD:Overkill is a pick-up-and-play game, something to play with your friends. It's very short, and the campiness is what makes it work. Extraction works on a whole different level. I like the cutscenes, as they remind you that you're a character in the story, not just a disembodied target. Besides, later in the game, you start seeing the game from different viewpoints, which is great.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #506 on:** January 19, 2010, 08:21:14 PM »

But there's still no reassurance in the early part of the game that you'll get to do much of anything, right?

EA thought our intelligence level was low, so the bar was set low.

Too bad for them our intelligence flew over it like a raccoon leaf.

broodwars · « **Reply #508 on:** January 19, 2010, 10:37:32 PM »

SixthAngel, I would recommend you keep playing but from the sounds of it this game isn't really your style. It's more an interactive horror movie than a horror game, and if you want the latter I strongly suggest Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles (if you haven't played it already). That's neither good nor bad, just different from what you ordinarily see in the genre. For me, this game is short enough that it's fun to bring out when I'm in the mood to watch a Sci-Fi horror movie, plus I really enjoy the Dead Space mythos (that godawful animated movie excluded).

Halbred · « **Reply #509 on:** January 19, 2010, 10:55:34 PM »

Umbrella Chronicles is the better game, just sayin'.

It has better unlockables (all those bonus stages with Wesker, Rebecca Chambers, and Ada), but that's about it IMO.

I picked this game up again last night and finished it.

experienced my second glitch in the game and it was one that caused me to exit the level and restart it again. I was in a hallway and one of those monsters whose bell blows up and has the little things comes out had blown up and let those little things out. Some of those little things got stuck behind a box and I was just stuck there for 5 minutes doing nothing while waiting to see if it would poke it's head out so I can kill it.

exit. replay.

Is the outer space zero gravity monster the second to last boss like I thought?

No, it is the last boss. The stage after that is just one big monster closet.

What's so funny? That's a great price considering that the game itself is pretty good and it's a pretty fair setup for the events of Dead Space 2.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #517 on:** June 03, 2010, 04:55:04 PM »

I just don't think it was worth an extra $35 for Wii owners to play it a year earlier.

That's an old rumor that came from some survey that popped up shortly after the DSE NPD debut of 8k.

I don't feel like looking it up, but I think it's in the rumor thread or Teabagged thread or even in this thread. I don't know.

Do not let bad sales taint this game's image. It was very good in both visuals and story, but I was dissapointed that the game was a rail-shooter and not a RE 4 clone like the first Dead Space.

Arbok · « **Reply #520 on:** June 03, 2010, 06:00:55 PM »

In regards to the game's image, I found Dead Space Extraction to be lackluster... I much preferred the two rail Resident Evil titles.

Halbred · « **Reply #521 on:** June 03, 2010, 06:11:33 PM »

RE: Umbrella Chonicles > Dead Space: Extraction > RE: Darkside Chronicles

Arbok · « **Reply #522 on:** June 03, 2010, 06:13:48 PM »

I'd put Darkside before DSE, but agree that Umbrella Chronicles was the best of the lot.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #523 on:** June 03, 2010, 07:25:49 PM »

Oh don't get me wrong, the graphics and sound are great and the story was decent, but the gameplay was flawed, not too mention a couple bugs I ran into.

I would have bought it at $15, but as it was on the Wii I'm glad I only rented the game.

Grubdog · « **Reply #524 on:** June 29, 2010, 04:50:58 AM »

Dead Space Extraction is one of my favourite Wii games, in fact I like it more than Dead Space itself. The atmosphere is what makes it. I find it more of an on-rails adventure than a shooter, as it's so easy even in the most difficult settings, you can really sit back and take in the environments and atmosphere of what's happening. The Dead Space universe is pretty much what makes the game. I think it's a better game than Overkill and the REs, but not a better shooter, as the enemies get quite repetitive (like the original Dead Space) and the action is pretty tame and underwhelming. I'd like to see more games like Extraction.
