Together with the addition of new enemies characters weapons and environments Dead Space Extraction< i> sets a new standard for action horror on the Wii that is sure to please both those new to the Dead Space< i> game universe and those anxious for more. < center>< td>< tr>< tbody>< table> Story< b> Dead Space Extraction< i> tells the untold story of the Aegis VII Colony through a handful of survivors battling to reach the orbiting USG Ishimura amidst a horrific infection and the initial invasion by a violent alien race known as Necromorphs. As these survivors' allies mysteriously fall victim to dementia it becomes clear that protecting a young girl granting them a bizarre immunity may be their only hope for survival in a struggle that could have implications for all of humanity. Gameplay< b> Although designed to preserve the feel of the action of the original game gameplay in Extraction< i> is also quite unique. First the player perspective has been changed from third to first-person placing all the action right in front of you. Also Extraction< i> is a 'rail shooter' meaning a shooter game where most of the action engaged in and paths followed are programmed into the mission play instead of the freeform wandering ability built into the considerably larger Next-Gen and PC Dead Space< i> release. The combination of these two changes funnels the players focus onto the combat options available in the game. In dealing with the danger of the alien Necromorphs swarming the game space Dead Space Extraction< i> utilizes the precision of the Wii Remote in variety of ways. Weapons like the Plasma Cutter can dispatch these enemies from a distance by taking advantage of the remote's pointing targeting ability while a quick wave can activate weapons like the Ripper a guidable spinning saw blade. The Wii Remote is also handy for picking up items and hurling them at enemies using the power of Kinesis. < p> Other gameplay changes include new play modes. The most notable of these is the inclusion of a two player co-op play option. This allows an additional player to drop in or out of the action as he she chooses. The game rebalances the opposition in these cases to make sure that the gameplay doesn't become too easy. In addition Extraction< i> also features a Challenge mode in which after certain sections of the game are cleared areas within those sections are unlocked for bonus arcade style action where players build up points linked to how many Necromorphs are destroyed. Taken together all these changes add up to more action more fun and more Dead Space< i> for players on the Wii. < p> Key Game Features< b>< p> An All-New Prequel Exclusively for the Wii< b>< li> Follow the lives of several different Aegis VII colony members as they carve a bloody path to survival.< li> Meet a new cast of characters destroy fearsome new enemies and wield brutal new weapons.< li>< ul> Real Terror< b>< li> Stunning graphics panic-inducing audio and a frenetic first-person perspective thrust you headlong into the terror.< li> Play through an engrossing interactive horror movie experience that raises the bar for storytelling in video games.< li>< ul> Intuitive Controls< b>< li> Strategically dismember your enemies with pinpoint control using the Wii Remote.< li> Wield a powerful arsenal of abilities and weapons to freeze enemies manipulate gravity with telekinesis solve puzzles and fight off attacks from every direction in zero gravity.< li>< ul> Co-Op Gameplay< b>< li> Team up with a friend to fight off the invasion on the USG Ishimura with jump-in cooperative play.< li> Combine efforts on engineering puzzles or determine specific roles to create a unique experience with each play session.< li>< ul>
