THQ intends to deliver on that desire, sating our need for a testosterone-infused game with Deadly Creatures. In this title, the player will control a scorpion and tarantula -- wait -- an armored scorpion and deadly tarantula, and beat up the likes of other desert creatures. That's right, we're looking at you, Gila monster.
We have to subtract a few man-o-meter (not to be confused with manometer) points, though, since the name of the developer is Rainbow Studios. Still, we're sure that the "brutal creature-crushing action" will more than make up for having the word "rainbow" on the box.
In all seriousness, the game sounds like it could be a lot of fun. Since it's on the Wii, you'd be correct to assume that it will involve some iteration of motion controls. Randy Shoemaker of THQ claims that the company is "raising the bar for all third party Wii titles." Let's just hope that the content backs up the talk. The last Wii game Rainbow Studios brought us was Cars, so we'll take a "wait-and-see" approach before we get too excited.

Unlike Cars, this isn't some crappy movie-tie-in game, so it could be good. Might get repetitive though.

Oh yea because that's a really challanging feat to accomplish.

I hope for this to become a spiritual successor to Ecco the Dolphin. The series got me sleepless back when I was still in school.
Even “normal” animals like sharks, morays and crabs were really scary in the games, not to mention the soundtrack, which still sends a chill down my spine (Welcome to the Machine)
