Review: Dead Space: Extraction

DeadSpace_Cover

When House of the Dead: Overkill was released for the Nintendo Wii, older gamers rejoiced, finally seeing some more mature titles on the mostly kid-friendly console.  However, it almost seemed too forced with the characters swearing and cursing to the point where you wanted to slap them in their face to shut up.  Although a good game, the game just didn’t satisfy my adult, light-gun craving.  It was, well, Overkill.  EA and Visceral Games is hoping to up the ante a bit with their release of Dead Space: Extraction, the prequel to the graphically intense, 3rd person shooter Dead Space, released last year on both the 360 and PS3.  Did they hit the mark in keeping the creepy, mature theme of the original, or is this just another sorry attempt at an adult game on a system targeted for kids?  Read on and we shall see!

EA Announces Dead Space Extraction for the Wii

Dead Space Extraction will be a prequel to the events that take place in the original game.  The game will also introduce a new heroine along with other all new characters, weapons, enemies, puzzles and even co-op multiplayer gameplay.  Dead Space Extraction is scheduled for release this fall.

It is being developed by EA Redwood Shores, the same studio that brought us the original game.  That means it’s guaranteed to be great, right?
