Sometimes creatures are cute. A kitten poking her head out of a paper bag. Miniature pinschers cuddling with their mother. Bambi. But sometimes, just sometimes, creatures are … deadly!
Rainbow Studios is hoping they’ve made the right choice to eschew the cuddly goodness that litters the pages of Cute Overload, instead focusing on the sordid underworld of insects, arachnids, and other creatures that would make you scream if they crawled out of your toilet. THQ’s Wii exclusive Deadly Creatures puts players in the roles of both a scorpion and a tarantula, in what appears to be a potent mix of Animal Planet and Spike TV-like over-exaggerated action.
THQ and Rainbow Studios reps were hesitant to give away too much of the game’s story, which is said to have a dark tone. But from the little bit I was able to gather, it appears that players will alternate between controlling the tarantula and the scorpion in a variety of missions that will, in some way, aid the authorities in solving a crime. Or this could be completely erroneous, and I’ve just given Rainbow Studios sequel gold.
While the slender tarantula’s areas will be more focused on stealth-based gameplay, the scorpion is busy battling pill bugs and dangerous wolf spiders. I had a chance to take an early build of one of the scorpion levels of Deadly Creatures for a test run, and I’ve learned one important lesson: don’t mess with a Gila Monster.
