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.

ComputerAndVideoGames.com goes hands-on with the “brilliant” Nintendo DS exclusive, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, calling it their “most anticipated Nintendo DS game as of right now”.

The opening is cinematic, with the camera panning down a fully 3D street as the hip-hop begins and the game’s credits fade in and out. Our attention was quickly grabbed. During the intro alone we observed busy roads, vehicles with headlights, working indicators, reverse lights and their own physics. Buildings were detailed, as were trees, bins, boxes and lamp posts - all breakable. Pedestrians also littered the pavements going about their business. Attention to detail and overall level of bustle is incredible for a DS game.
