Deadly Creatures' beautifully grotesque trailer

by JC Fletcher { Nov 4th 2008 at 9:56AM }

Why does one of the most visually impressive Wii games also have to be one of the most disgusting as well? This trailer for Deadly Creatures demonstrates beyond a doubt that the Wii definitely outpaces its predecessor, the GameCube, in realistic rendering of a spider crawling inside a dead deer's mouth.

The setting is unique, and the fighting -- which is the focus of this trailer -- looks like quite a bit of fun, but it's going to be hard to show off the graphical prowess of Rainbow Studios when said prowess is employed in the depiction of a tarantula murdering adorable lizards. Does it even count as video game violence when it's the kind of stuff seen on a nature show? Although we don't remember seeing a scorpion tearing the wings off of a dragonfly in a move that looks like it was inspired by pro wrestling. We'd probably remember something like that.

Haha, it was so creepy watching the tarantula sink its fangs into the lizard's back. Especially with those gross sound effects. Man I can't wait any longer for this game.

That looks very creepy but good. Impressive graphics and the gameplay looks fun.

Hmm. I wonder how well this will sell. It looks really good, but is Wii really the market for this?

this game needs some gigantic japanese hornets to destroy bee hives with.

Haha, I LOVE THIS! I'll totally pick it up! The graphics looks great apart from a few glitchy movements. No matter, the setting is what makes it totally badass. Like God of War with bugs!

OMG, it looks cool and gross at the same time, pool lizards T_T

I like the wrestling moves, and the snake vs tarantula fight was good, go tarantula go!

But poor lizards, and the fly, poor fly too!

I liked the move where the scorpion opened the lizard's mouth and stabbed him in the back of the throat. awesome!

@ Hardy

i very much think the Wii has a market for this. why else would A TON of "core" games be in the pipeline for 2009? people have nagged to ninty about the Wii not having enough "core" games (using both meanings of core) and ninty is FINALLY answering our prayers.
