What Parents Need to Know
This review of Dead Space: Extraction was written by Marc Saltzman
Parents need to know there are few "Mature"-rated video games for the Nintendo Wii, and this is one of them. As one of four marines in deep space, players fight against nasty aliens from a first-person perspective -- by shooting at them with an assortment of sci-fi weapons. As a result, these creatures blow apart and splatter blood, plus players can target body parts and dismember or decapitate them. The game also has some strong profanity including the F- and S- words. This game has a high gore and scariness factor. It has a drop-in, drop-out mechanic so that two people can play together on the same console.
Families Can Talk About
Families can talk about whether these kinds of adult-only games should be available on the Nintendo Wii. That is, should there be this kind of mature content on a system dominated by kids games or is it better left on the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3? Perhaps families feel there should be a variety of game types on the Nintendo Wii -- just as your impartial DVD player can show a Disney film or Tarantino flick.

Dead Space Zero, basically. Yet another awesome on-rail shooter for the Wii!
The Wii has some very good shooters: the Resident Evil Chronicles series, House of the Dead Overkill, HotD 2&3 Return, Call of Duty: World At War, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and The Conduit. Now, one can add Dead Space's new Wii-only prequel to the list. I actually have never played Dead Space (but plan to). However, I have played some of Extraction, and it's great. Graphics are good by Wii standards, and the gameplay is awesome. If you have the Wii Zapper gun, it's easy to use it with this game. But note that Dead Space: Extraction is not a game for kids. You don't just kill aliens; you can target their specific body parts and cut 'em off (or decapitate the alien).There's also some raw language, but it's not up to MadWorld or House of the Dead Overkill levels. Also, this game can scare the cr*p out of you at times. Overall, Dead Space Extraction is yet another solid shooter for the Wii, and it's okay for teens. But kids under 14 shouldn't be playing this game.
