Fresh previews for Dead Space Extraction are starting to arrive from all over. Two new previews from today are from Shacknews and Kotaku, with a bonus news piece from VG247.
Here is just a small bit from the Shacknews preview.
The executive producer for Dead Space, Steve Papoutsis, stated to VG247 that no downloadable content is planned for Extraction. He also went on to say that the experience won't be "watered down" simply because the game is on the Wii.

There are items scattered all over the Ishimura, including weapons, ammo crates, and health pickups. Using the Wii Remote to aim and pressing the A button, you can use your kinesis ability, which allows you pick up items or otherwise interact with the environment without actually deviating from the pre-set path. Because you don't have control over the movement of your character, it can be easy to miss items. However, that didn't seem to matter much when I played, because I never came close to running out of health or ammo.
The game walks you through room to room, stopping at key areas to throw a few waves of menacing alien necromorphs at you. Strategic dismemberment still plays a role in the game, and I found it much easier to take down enemies by aiming at their legs to slow them down, then finishing them off as they flail about on the floor. I only encountered a handful of enemies at a time, but it always seemed enough to keep the action moving without feeling overwhelming.
