EA's guided first-person experience isn't selling as expected.
With the September 2009 NPDs out and being leaked, more information is coming in. Thanks to that, we can all see that it looks like EA's Dead Space: Extraction isn't selling too well.
The Wii debut of the young series is full of atmospheric awesomeness despite some minor quibbles.
Let's start by saying this: Dead Space: Extraction is a pretty awesome science-fiction movie. It sets a fantastic mood, there's a mystery behind it (granted, it isn't as mysterious if you beat the original), and it has a compelling narrative. As a game, Extraction is also fun. It takes the on-rails shooter genre and makes some changes to it, both good and bad. The end result is a solid experience that lives up to EA's bold claims that it is a "guided first-person experience."
