Though its beat-em-up style is similar to a lot of games we've played before, it's a different experience, as we're not a dashing young man, out to save some damsel in distress. Actually, we're not a man at all; we're a scorpion, complete with claws and a stinger.
And that's Deadly Creatures' standout feature as a brawler. You control arachnids, using all the advantages that the species belays -- stingers and claws, for instance -- to put your foes out of commission. The story isn't so clear at this point, but the developer tells us it?s a tale of how a single scorpion and tarantula's paths intertwine, leading up to what we're sure is going to be an epic encounter".
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.
Darksiders is an amazing Zelda style game with terrific art direction, great characters, fun gameplay, and something severely lacking from this generation BOSS FIGHTS! The first also had a pretty decent story and its ending is one of my favorite endings in video games.
I also agree with the notion of the first being better than the second.
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.
Agreed! I feel the RPG/loot esque style detracted from focus that could have been spent on more memorable characters and gameplay.
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.
Awesome. A brawler with creatures I like the idea. The controls sound like it's a fun time and plenty to think about. It'll be hard at first but I'm sure after playing for a bit it'll all get easier ^^
