Latest Wii, Nintendo DS, Game Boy, and GameCube news, screenshots, and game previews

GamesRadar goes hands-on with the Wii exclusive, Deadly Creatures.

The tone and creativity involved definitely piqued our interest, and the gameplay seemed to offer a nice variety of exploration and tactical combat. Skittering around and discovering the nooks and crannies in the world of vermin will absolutely be interesting. What we can’t be sure of is whether the combat will hold up for the game’s entire length. From what we saw, it was not a mindless button masher – a good ways from it. If they can keep us on our toes by maintaining a continuous stream of imaginative environments and combat challenges, then Deadly Creatures will be a sleeper hit even for the hardcore Wii owners (and yes, we do exist).

I think it sounds pretty good! Deadly Creatures hits stores in February.
