    Even if you don't have a PlayStation Move, you'll get some use out of Extraction with the Dual Shock, as well as a damned good impetus to jump on board with Sony's motion controller.

    Extraction is still pretty fun, and with the improved controls it's the best version.

    This game is a good port from the Wii version. The gameplay is great, the story is nice and the graphics are pretty. At some moments the gameplay is a bit slow, but besides of that a must have for Dead Space and horror fans.

    Necromoprhs, alien monsters, blood and tons of corpse. Extraction is 100% Dead Space, with a deep gameplay, powerful plot and great graphics. A perfect porting, with a perfect control schema: probably, the best usage of PS Move seen so far.

    Go and bust some heads and sever some spiky limbs in the name of slightly disturbing entertainment.

    Dead Space Extraction is fun and the best reason so far to own the PlayStation Move.

    It may lack the scares of its big brother but this proves an impressively progressive lightgun game that works very well with PlayStation Move.

    Despite sophisticated wand-waving, this tires fast. [Apr 2011, p.114]

    Very good game for the move, my opinion may not be worth of attention if you don't possess the PS Move, but if you do, then you know that it'sVery good game for the move, my opinion may not be worth of attention if you don't possess the PS Move, but if you do, then you know that it's taking the dust somewhere and you'll be glad to know that with Dead Space: Extraction you can take it out for an excellent rail shooter with a lot of reference to the first episode and above all the true atmosphere of the Dead Space franchise keeping the dismemberment as the key to vanquish your ennemies, that's also a good thing after I played the third entry, despite a predictable story, the game knows how to create tension and offers about 7-8 hours of fun.
    The only bad thing is that the enemies are too similar.

    But as a PS Move owner and Dead Space lover I'm very satisfied and for both those things I've been waiting a long time, so if you're like me go for it you'll not regret this.    … Full Review »

Extraction is by far the best game for the Move that I've played so far. The controls are spot on, and I love how they managed to created a scheme that worked both with the Move controller on it's own, and also with the navigation controller.

    What's super cool too is that I can have my buddy play on it in 2-player mode with the regular dualshock, since I only have 1 Move controller.

    I love Dead Space, and Extraction was one of my favorites in the series. The story and character development are top notch. That Weller guy is a bad ass! I only wish they could have had online multiplayer, but oh well, this rocks!    … Full Review »

Even though I've had it since drop day, bundled with Dead Space 2 S.E., I'd never played it, until 2023. This far,the story is cohesive,& not the usual rail gun game cheesy. I'm locked in,to see how this plays out.… Full Review »
