    I liked how on the 1up show they had this 'Gather round the Wii session' with like 10 people, and one of them loves this game and wanted to put it on, and everyone was all 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooo'

    It has a super corny feel to it.

    I expect the sequel to be "ESCAPE FROM BUG ISLAND 2: THE BUZZING"
    or even better, mix 2 of my favorite things(gaming, Metalocalypse) and call it "ESCAPE FROM BUG ISLAND 2: BLOOD OCEAN"

    First it wasn't that bad, since we initially encountered only a swarm of relatively small beetle-like insects that ran around on the ground nearby. If we stood too long in the swarm, the bugs would climb up all over us and start doing damage, and an onscreen indicator showed that we had to shake the Wii controller back and forth to shake the bugs off.

    However, our next obstacle--a gigantic praying mantis--was a lot more daunting. For this we had to arm ourselves with the stick, and swinging it at the creature was an ostensibly simple matter of holding the B trigger on the Wii remote and making a swinging motion.

    Sounds thrilling.

    This looks beyond awful.

    And yet when it becomes less expensive towards the end of the year I may obtain it.

    I don't know, I really like Spike's work in general and I'd love a slow paced adventure type game on the Wii, but I don't believe I'll be pre-ordering this. :P

    I would have to buy every single copy ... and don't you think that they would HAVE to re-create the scene where the snake goes down on the girl in the car BEFORE he eats her?

    The multiplayer options would be pretty intense ... billions of snakes, billions of opportunities!

    It writes itself. If ESCAPE FROM BUG ISLAND provides even a small modicum of sales it will inspire more me-too entries than Quake II and World War II combined. Just as the Sci-Fi channel has given us Ticks, Termites, Octopus, Octopus 2, Spiders, Crocodile, Crocodile 2, Boa, Boa 2, Python, Boa vs. Python (the penultimate masterpiece of the genre), Dragon Fighter, Komodo, Scorpions, Snakes, Killer Bees, and countless other "masterpieces."

    Literally any movie that exists where the mutated antagonist has a claw/probocsis/tentacle will get an exclusive Wii game. Call of the Finest Brother on Duty Resisting the Fall of Paratrooping Honor in Iwo Jima Sniping Medals past the Road to Earning Blood will become Alien Government Corporation Cyber Bug Hunt Scorpion Arachnid Tentacle Ophidian Wars vs. Python.
