Deadly Creatures

Deadly Creatures (2009)

by Rainbow Studios, THQ
Genres:Platform, Hack and slash/Beat 'em up, Fighting
Themes:Action, Stealth, Survival
Game modes:Single player
Story:Deadly Creatures allows players to play as a young male desert hairy scorpion and an adult female tarantula and engage in brutal combat against other arachnids, insects, rats, and reptiles. The two creatures have different playing styles, with the scorpion's levels featuring more action-oriented gameplay, while the tarantula is more stealth oriented, with less linear levels. The Wii Remote and Nunchuk are used for both movement and attacks, with motion controls incorporated for special attacks and finishing moves, while the tarantula also utilizes the pointer function to shoot webs. New abilities are also gained as the player progresses through the game. Along with dispatching common arthropods such as pill bugs, crickets, beetles, and wolf spiders, most of which can be devoured to regain health, the player also faces bosses including a Gila Monster, a rattlesnake and eventually a human. The clashes between the creatures are described as similar to monster movies, with a similar impact to battles in King Kong and Jurassic Park albeit on a smaller scale.Show more

I played this game back on the Wii when it came out. I've always enjoyed playing obscure and strange games. And while this isn't anywhere near the most obscure or strange, it's certainly different! It's pure animal xenofiction from the perspectives of a tarantula and a scorpion. It's not a very long game, which is good because if it was any longer I don't think the gameplay would hold up. But it does for its length, and it's a fun time! This is a very unique video game experience.
