This game was doomed from inception. Normally a publisher would never even touch a concept like this but someone in THQ said 'Get Wii games!' and De Blob and Deadly Creatures were the first ones that knocked on THQ's door.
Both are very experimental. With De Blob the question was could they make that gameplay enticing in a full fledged game. They did. With Deadly Creatures the questions is does anyone want to be a bug. No.
Stof is right. Back in the NES/SNES games people played as any sort of creature at all. Of course they were all crude sprites anyway but people didn't really care what they were just what they were doing. I mean what the F@#$ is Q-Bert anyway?
But that's no longer the case. When a Game-of-the-year title like Okami dies because no one wants to play as a dog, then THQ should really have known not to touch one where you're playing as a bug. A bug. Worse, two totally realistic, creepy bugs.
No amount of marketing would have ever saved this game. Even a $20 price tag would not save this game. If I got to kill Jerry Seinfield as a bee, I personally would at least rent it just for that, but in the end, this was just a horrible idea from the get go.
