Early Look at Deadly Creatures

There’s a preview up from NGamer for Rainbow’s Deadly Creatures for the Wii. This title is not your average sugar coated Wii video game. You play out the survival of the fittest from the perspective of some of natures most deadly predators.
“I had a dream,” explained lead designer Jordan Itkowitz when we went for a recent playtest. “In the dream I was a snake and was controlling the snake with the Wii remote, side to side, back and forth.
And I was going through the grass and I saw a mouse, and I reared up with my right hand, the Wii remote, and I struck the mouse and killed it.
The next morning I pitched it to the guys and they all thought it was pretty cool.”
Players will explore the world setting as the spider or the scorpion in a heavily story driven scenario which will ultimately pitch creature against man.
We pressed Itkowitz for details on the spider vs scorpion vs man encounter, and although he’s keeping schtum on Deadly Creatures’s major setpiece he did hint that despite his size, a man’s toe was fleshy and defenceless – along with ‘other’ parts of him.
One uncomfortable look from NGamer and sick giggle from the dev confirmed our worst fears about this unconventional boss – but it remains one of our most anticipated moments of 2008.
