GameSpy writes: "It's not surprising that Rainbow Studios, the developer behind myriad ATV and motocross titles, would want to take a break from racing games. Indeed, Deadly Creatures is a big departure from the dev house's usual slate of vehicular fun. We've had our eye on this one since last summer at E3, and as it's approaching its release next month, we got a final glimpse at the game in action. Based on the stages we saw, it could be one of 2009's early sleepers."
Spiffy:
+A great-looking Wii title that presents a rather unique approach to story and gameplay
Iffy:
-Combat (and subsequent repetitiveness) are still questionable at this point
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.
