Deadly Creatures is a new IP from developer THQ and is headed exclusively for the Nintendo Wii. In one of the most innovative spins on a game, you play as a lethal tarantula and a battle ready scorpion in a struggle for survival. You'll get to go head to head against other arachnids, lizards and the worst predator of all, man. Randy Shoemaker, Director of Global Brand Management with THQ had the following to say about the title, "Deadly Creatures is an amazingly innovative game concept, and
exemplifies THQ's commitment to creating original new IP for the
Nintendo Wii platform. With Deadly Creatures, we are raising the bar for all third-party Wii
titles, and focusing on deep, compelling gameplay for a largely
untapped audience of Wii gamers."
Adding to this was Nick Wlodyka, Executive Producer & General Manager with Rainbow Studios, "Deadly Creatures is a creepy, cinematic thrill ride, where the
distinction between predator and prey can shift around every corner. With brutal motion-controlled combat, a dark compelling story and some
of the best visuals to date on the Wii, we are excited to bring Deadly
Creatures to a large core Wii audience that hungers for a new
experience."
And from THQ themselves, here's the official spiel, "A world of danger and discovery: Infiltrate the gloomy, thorn-filled
labyrinth of the Brambles, home to gangs of wolf spiders and vicious
black widows. Battle scavenging rats in the trash-filled Wasteland,
where an old abandoned truck towers above you like a fortress. Scale
cliff walls, cacti and rusting subterranean pipes, all to reach your
final, most dangerous destination: a creepy old gas station on a lonely
desert road."
This sounds completely original and should once again remind people why the Nintendo Wii is leading the way in current generation consoles. Pics will be posted soon.
