it's a whatever rail shooter. the wiimote is precise, like always, so it makes for a good controlling experience, but the story is not interesting enough to account for the massive downtime between shooting sections. the characters might be the most stereotypical cliche characters of all time, and all the subtlety from the original game is completely gone. remember that one part of the original where you can faintly hear twinkle twinkle little star, so quiet you're barely sure if you didnt just imagine it? now you crawl through a dark tunnel while you hear scary twinkle twinkle little star blaring at you! it gets very annoying how hamfisted the "scary" parts are, even if the original dead space didn't always succeed at being scary, at least it wasn't completely reliant on shit like bad jumpscares (theres one midway through the game that feels like a comedy sketch its so bad) and "oooo scary childrens music!" just stick to the main series, only check this out if you really wanna play every game with dead space on the box.
