Publisher THQ and Rainbow provide a novel tale for Wii owners with Deadly Creatures. Assuming the role of insects to steer a mature storyline seems odd, but it ultimately works better than most video game blockbusters. Exploration elements provide awe, as well as a video and audio presentation that push the system to its fullest.
A living, breathing world awaits, but the camera hiccups really do stutter the experience. Other technical problems arise, such as the combat, but it becomes easier to overlook with a game that is dripping with so much originality and spirit.
Beneath all the Smash and shovelware, the Wii really did have quite a few gems.
Not a bad list.. I would add Excitebots, Kororinpa 1 & 2, Bit.Trip series, Geometry Wars: galaxies
In an enlightening interview with Laser Lemming Nordic Game's Martin Kreuch reveals the swedish publisher's plans for their recent haul of THQ ips, including Darksiders.
How about no Darksiders at all? I never understood how people could play this game from start to finish, both belong to the worst games I played in the last 10 years.
Oh maaan, please continue the story of darksiders series.
Also if you do manage to get older developers, i hope you guys remove the rpg-ish element. <_<
The game was much better without it.
Game Informer - One of the most unique Wii titles revolved around a spider, a scorpion, and actors Billy Bob Thornton and the late Dennis Hopper. THQ released Deadly Creatures in 2009 to little fanfare, but many that played it were charmed by its quirkiness. This week, we see if that charm holds up.
