Dead Space: Extraction box art has a lady and aliens on it photo

Visceral Games’ Dead Space: Extraction hits this September. In order to help you find the title on the shelf easier (there is, after all, another like-titled game), we’ve provided images of the box art below in the gallery. Notice the white box. That’s your first giveaway that the title is for the Wii. Now, take notice of the feisty woman on the cover. That means, again, the game is for the Wii.

We kid, of course. All sorts of videogames have chicks on their covers. Take, for example, Final Fantasy games. We haven’t seen a male on one of those yet.

Again, we kid. In Dead Space: Extraction, you control one of four characters throughout the game. The lady on the cover of the game is certainly one of those people. There’s no marketing funny business here. Feel free to move along as if you were on rails (and surprisingly good despite it).

I'm going to take a wild guess and say she's terrified because of the stupid-looking gun she's been given with which to destroy the off-screen threats.

Naw, she's more like, "THIS WAASN'T IN THE PAMPHLET FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" and the dude's like, "THAT NERCOMANCER'S A SPY"

I take it you haven't played the original Dead Space? That's the plasma cutter, the staple weapon in your arsenal from the first game.

Also, this box art really looks...bad. Dead Space had amazing, simple box art that I consider to be one of the best (along with Katamari Damacy and Left 4 Dead, to name a few). This is generic and bland. Hey, like most Wii titles! *runs*

Are the angled shots of the box really necessary? lol

The women looks kind of like Diana Troy from The Next Generation.

Ah man that looks awful. Whatever happed to the simple design of severed limbs? The faceless engineer in the super cool engineer suit. That cover is so generic.

Nice cover, too bad it's still a light gun game on a Dead Space setting, i hope i'm proven wrong when it gets released, but i still feel that this and Darkside Chronicles are more of the same. If you think about it it's ironic that the X360 was so long criticized for being a "shooter console" when the Wii seems to be going through a much lamer counterpart and no one in the industry seems to notice (or at least hasn't commented much).

2 or 3 on rail games a year is hardly flodding the market. Especially when there the only decent rail games coming out.

And the wii is very much critizized for the much bigger problem of to many shitty mini game compilations and shovelware >_>.

TimeCrisis 2, Starfox 64 and Sin & Punishment fail by that logic then.

Almost as bad as The Conduit's box art. Ugh.
