Ganepark32 Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 ^ nice one. I'm off out a little later to see if I can find a copy of this at Gamestation. Hope so as it'll make for a nice compliment to House of the Dead.
Hero-of-Time Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Ive just finished the first couple of levels and so far its nothing special. Im not happy with the boss fights being QTE!
DiemetriX Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 YaY and Ney. The game is a bit of both. I think I had to high expectations but It's still great fun. I'm enjoying it. Found it hard to put down and just "had" to play until the next savepoint each time I reached one.
Ganepark32 Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Was so close to buying this this afternoon. Literally had it in my hands and was in the queue to buy it when I saw Gamestation had some Gamecube games and picked up a copy of Wind Waker instead (if I'd have had a couple of pound more I would have got this as well but knowing how little time the copies of Wind Waker stay on the shelves in my local Gamestation I just had to pick it up). Will definitely pick this up at some point, although there is something about it that's holding me back from getting it just now.
Retro_Link Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I take it you're yet to play Wind Waker!?
Ganepark32 Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 No, I've played it before but got rid of it a long time ago and have had a desire to play it again. It holds up remarkably well. Feel bad for not buying this but I'll be able to afford it later on in the coming week.
yesteryeargames Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 got this today, i like it the visuals look nice too , worth picking up
Owen Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Pretty unique and fun game. Agreed, i actually love it..can't believe how much i do..this and HOTD have WAY surpassed my expectations!
Strange Cookie Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Hmmm, I'm seriously thinking about buying this but... I don't know. Something's holding me back. I get the feeling that, aside from the novelty of crawling around as a spider/scorpion, seeing the world form a different perspective, there isn't all that much to it. I haven't play it, though, so this is simply a gut-feeling. My game-experienced hands should do the judging. Maybe this weekend. Maybe...
James McGeachie Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Well it'd be good if some people bought it. Game charted in the UK at 31st in the Wii-only charts, not in the all console top 40 at all.
RedShell Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 My copy showed up a couple of days ago (at last!) been playing it as much as possible in between AC and Overkill, it's pretty cool. Definitely doing a good job of freaking me out, has also managed to make me jump a few times! Playing in a dark room with the sound on full blast is the way to go. :awesome: The game is far from perfect though. The loading breaks are seriously weird and seem incredibly random, you can be in the middle of a fight and then all of a sudden the game will freeze for a few seconds while it loads... whatever it is that it's loading. It suffers from some graphical glitches too, like how the bugs can get caught up on the terrain and start going nuts as if they're having an epileptic fit or something! And the camera can be a pain in the arse occasionally, but nothing really game breaking. Shame they didn't spend a bit longer ironing out all that stuff though because the concept and style of Deadly Creatures is just awesome. I really love the part where you explore the inside of a car as the spider, crawling around all the different surfaces and seeing it from such unfamiliar angles was absolutely brilliant! The whole idea of following the story of those two guys from the perspective of the insects is also really smart, and it's great how you start out in a purely natural environment and then more and more man-made objects start to appear as you progress.

david.dakota Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 My local Sainsbury's has this for sale at £19.97 (an additional few pence discount (VAT reduction) is also applied at the tills). Quite the bargain, so its bagged.
Ganepark32 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I'd pick it up at that price but I know for a fact that my local sainsburys won't be selling it as the only Wii and DS games that they sell are mainly casual and big release titles. Do really need to pick this up though.

Do really need to pick this up though. Try it, my Sainsbury's usually stocks tripe, but recently they've stocked Overkill and obviously Deadly Creatures.
Ganepark32 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 My local hasn't had HotD: Overkill in the few weeks it's been out. But I'll check anyway. Might as well in the hope that they do have it.
not_so_tiny Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Grabbed the game from Sainsburys last night. I started and finished it today. I loved pretty much every minute of it, the environment was fantastic seeing it from such a different point of view and then more and more man-made objects appearing was awesome, I especially liked the doll house you could walk around in as a spider, the combat wasn't too bad either, and the sound was brilliant and really set the mood, however I finished it in under 5 hours and with no real re-playability it was just too short. Here's hoping it sells well enough for a sequel.
Guest Maase Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Bought it, shall receive it in 3-5 days. Can't freaking wait
D_prOdigy Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Saw this is Asda for £23. Not a bad price if anyone was waiting for it to go cheap.
ShadowV7 Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 I'd go and pick this up tomorrow. But you know, not buying games and all till I get rid of back log. Sucks when there's a good deadl on
david.dakota Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Stop it, stop it!! Thats a great price. Buy it. Come on people, at that price you'd be daft not to buy it.
