Filtered Thoughts
I remember when Deadly Creatures released, and reading how it was a very unique idea for a game. As the reviews show, it seems to be a pretty decent game, though the reported average hours "Per person" being less than 6 Hours is interesting.
Deadly Creatures is a Wii game I hope to play one day, as the atmosphere/setting seems very interesting to me, but knowing that the reported hours "Per person" are less than 6 hours I would probably look to rent it, or even look for it at a "bargain bin" price of $10 or less.

I bought the game upon release and i really enjoyed it. i definetely recommend it to other users. I took me about 6 - 7 hours to complete the game and while i really enjoyed it i didn't feel the need to replay it. i don't have arachnophobia.
ReplyDeleteI bought the game a few months after release. It took me around 6-7 hours to finish and 2 additional ones to find all the collectibles to open new art. It was a nice and different experience, but you are right it is better as a rent or a bargain purchase. I even wrote a review (in spanish) for my website.
ReplyDeleteI bought it close to release and although I thought I played it twice, my Nintendo Channel data says otherwise. Apparently I only played it once for a couple of hours.
ReplyDeleteI remember I only made it through a couple of levels and I enjoyed it, but I guess it wasn't enough for me to go back. Maybe one day.
The other thing I remember was the bugs the game had. I once fell through the floor and died and one time I got stuck and had to reset.
I just caught up with your posts from the last two months, happy belated birthday!
I remember when this game first came out - I never did pick it up. I kept meaning to - reviews from players and a few of the 'professional' sites I visited were pretty solid. No fear of those creatures - in fact I've always been fascinated by spiders, scorpions and crabs - something about the way they move around I guess. I used to own about two dozen hermit crabs in a huuuge tank and had a pair of tarantulas once upon a time too. :P

ReplyDeleteGlad to know you don't have arachnophobia, I really wonder if anybody played(or tried to) this game that did have it, and what their experience was with it?
@flagstaad:
Thanks for the feedback about the collectibles and the art, I didn't recall reading that anywhere, but I'm glad to know the game has some rewards in it for replay value.

"The other thing I remember was the bugs the game had. I once fell through the floor and died and one time I got stuck and had to reset."
HAHA! Bugs in the programming and literal side of things in the game I see.
Thanks for the bday wish!

Can't say I'm a fan of spiders, though it's not like arachnophobia "get out the oxygen" type of not liking them.
Though, interesting you mentioned hermit crabs, we owned I think two when I was growing up. I'm always tempted when I go to the beaches to buy more, but I have always resisted!
Thank you all for the comments/feedback on the game, and your arachnophobias(or lack thereof)!
