NWR: Dead Space Extraction Review

NWR writes: "I'm not going to lie and say that Extraction is anything but an on-rails, light-gun shooter, but I will tell you that it's an extremely good one. Developer Visceral has been reluctant to call it that, preferring the phrase "guided first-person experience," but such taxonomic subtleties are meaningless the second you start playing the game. There is more camera shake than Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, but less than Darkside Chronicles, and it's more engaging and cinematic than House of the Dead: Overkill, but for all its bells and whistles, Dead Space: Extraction is an on-rails, light-gun shooter. The thing is, it's such an excellent game that I don't care. It would seem that the "light-gun" genre is here to stay on Wii, but as long as developers keep the bar exactly this high, I have no qualms about it."
