Reviews: Dead Space Extraction Video Review

Hmm. I didn't expect a video review for this.

Guided experience actually sounds good since I tend to get lost in video games all the time =P I pretty much need a waypoint to find where I'm supposed to go.

Graphics look decent for Wii, but like the guys said in the Bombcast, this is just an easy way to quickly release another DEAD SPACE, as I'm sure EA would like some more money from the franchise considering the first didn't sell as much as it deserved to.

Mildly interested in this.

Doesn't seem like it's worth full price.

Hah. Nice use of the quote at the end... it really tied the room together.

While I don't have a Wii, I doubt I would be interested even if I did.  This type of experience is fine in an arcade, but when you bring it to a home on a console, it just doesn't seem like it would add up to a compelling experience worth its retail price tag.

I'm going to pass.

So is Dead Space Extraction loosely based on the prequel comics?  
 
That comic book cut scene looked a lot like the comic.  

yes! - nice review boys.

when Brad does videos, i cant help but notice he seems to always do the same thing with his hands.  I like the black hoody, you can barely see his man tits.

Dead Space was awesome. This not so much.  I kinda just want to know the story.

This is how developers should make games for the Wii, instead of crappy minigame collections full of waggle time. 

Dont have a wii...Id pass anyway.

Much better information. I still might pick it up down the road. Could be a holiday pick up for me.

Did I mention how lame it is to shun a whole genre and its sub genres simply because you aren't into them? No? Well it's very, very lame. How about having someone who feels like that about the genre actually review such a game? That's pretty damn lame too.

i'll probably buy when the price drops

Gread video review, Brad.
 
I don't have a Wii so I'll probably never gonna play it. What happens in level 9? In the last bombcast Brad mentioned some kind of twist.

Great review Brad! 
I'm a bit bored of rail shooters but yeah, this one doesn't look so bad. :D 
I still need to play the original Dead Space lol!

eek! The comic sequence was creepy

Awesome review!

My wii is going to continue to gather dust, doesnt look like anything i would like.  I like to be in control so Light Gun games drive me crazy!

The animated comic from GT and the PAX comic are effing awesome: they capture the visceral mood of the game perfectly. Hmmm... maybe that's why they're called Visceral Games...

still... its deadspace on wii done right

I remember watching the animated comic on Dead Space's site.  I still need to buy that game.

"It's gonna be the same every time you play it" You mean like the majority of video games? Like Batman: Arkham Asylum? Or Metroid Prime? Does that make these bad games? I don't think so. You're review for this game was greatly underwhelming, Brad. We really need you to do less games on Nintendo consoles because the scores you give them seem to almost always just be off. I mean hell you gave Infamous a 5 star review, and that game is a pile of bad game designs.

At the end of the video I was like:
"Oh.... oh shit..."
Was that the "SPOILAR!" that brad mentioned on the Bombcast?

fuck the haters, brad ownz

This looks pretty fun. No Wii though. :(

The Wii is trash.   They are getting desperate.
 
Dead Space Devs worked really hard to integrate the shooter's interface with the environment.   This trash, completely goes against their work.  For the sole purpose of making a profit off the few naive kids, stupid enough to buy this novelty kids toy. 
 
Nintendo completely slapped their original fans in the face with this console.  Now they are pandering to what remains.  

Brad comes close to referring to DSE as the best light gun game of all time in this week's podcast. I really don't think he hated it, not at all.

Since video reviews on GB are few and far between, just exactly what criteria is used to determine whether a game gets a video review or not?

I'm no great proponent of cuddly and colorful, but to my eyes, the Wii gets away with its graphics a lot better when it doesn't do things that require on subtle lighting touches so much - like Dead Space.

@Renegade, impartiality is certainly not what I was unhappy with, lol. Reread what you quote.

whats that song that starts at 1.43?

ugh! what a terrible system the wii is.
these low-res out of date graphics make my eyes bleed.
 
now all gather 'round and watch as another wii game tanks.
 
this'll be lucky if it sells 10,000 copies.
stop the madness! the wii is not a relevant system.
 
it's a plug 'n' play for housewives and grandmas.
 
 Nintenfail.

No thanks

It's his personal opinion on the genre, and to be quite honest, he's right. Most people want more depth than what a light gun shooter has to offer, but it's good to see that Dead Space Extraction at least pulled it off appropriately. "

Oh, sweet! The art in that comic sequence was done by Ben Templesmith! (the artist for 30 Days of Night)

hm...I'm disappointed in this.  I was looking forward to some limb-severing goodness, but that doesn't seem like the main focus (even though it's there to an extent)
