One of the best looking games on Wii, if EA are to be believed; while elsewhere, MotionPlus is confirmed for the shooter.

Unveiled earlier this month to a divided response, Dead Space: Extraction is beginning to get us more and more interested. The on-rails prequel to the 360/PS3 horror title is coming exclusively to Wii this Autumn, and the game's director Glen Schofield has been sounding off some positive views on Extraction.

"You should see it. It looks fantastic on the Wii. In my opinion (and others) its one of the best looking games so far on the Wii. Obviously we will make a couple compromises but in other ways we can add more, especially taking advantage of the Wii controllers. There are new enemies, characters, story, puzzles, co-op and weapons. And yes, physics and even zero-g play a huge part in the game."

Not only this, but it's been reported that COO John Pleasants confirmed at a tech conference in San Francisco that Extraction would also utilise the MotionPlus accessory, so hopefully we'll be getting some 1:1 dismemberment when the shooter ships this year.

Update: It seems various folks may have jumped the gun a bit the latter part of this story. According to IGN, the company COO was referring to the likes of Tiger Woods and Grand Slam Tennis when confirming MotionPlus. After getting into contact with the publisher, EA iterated that Dead Space: Extraction would not use the accessory. Never mind.
