Speaking with MTV today, Extraction (the new version of the title for the Wii) producer Steve Papoutsis has assured that the title is not an 'on rails' shooter.

Instead, the game developer describes the title as a "guided first-person experience".

He continued: "The player will be presented with many choices as they play the game, ranging from which path they wish to explore to maneuvering in Zero-G.

"The game is being developed from the ground up to leverage the unique controls of the Wii. Players will use their Remote to aim and dismember oncoming enemies as well as use other mechanics from Dead Space such as Stasis and Telekinesis to name a few.

"When we started designing Extraction, it was important to us to make sure the controls on the Wii felt natural and made sense. Having the use of motion controls opened up a lot of interesting possibilities for the game that we hope players will enjoy."

A Wii release later this year is planned.
