IGN hated this game before. Calling it

Visually, it has progressive output, but the bland colors and poor insect models would look bad on the Cube.
Crappy controls make me throw my Wiimote. Stupid videogame logic makes me do something much worse: swear while throwing my Wiimote.


But somethings change. After tightening the game up a bit, IGN has newer things to say about this game.

The game doesn't look all that bad for Wii standards, pulling off a smooth framerate even when the environments fill with dozens of bugs or gargantuan insects that loom overhead.
the game does have its quirks but it's still pretty fun.


This game sounds like it changed quite a bit with newer controls and better graphics. Quite a change...

I think IGN just has split personalities
I saw that coming a mile away!
The first time i saw the box art, i knew that it would be a flopper...
ROFL, this game will do SO BAD! XD
I don't even think I'd rent this game. Perhaps if my friend got it then I'd try it but otherwise it won't get much of my attention.
i read that you can plow through it in 12-14 hours. i'll probably rent it. im curious...








The game doesn't look that bad actually.
Some parts of it don't, but it still received bad reviews in Japan.
It kinda looks like a resident evil
The graphics aren't really horrible at all but I think it's the gameplay/story that is bringing it down. The fact that it got no love in Japan has got to tel you something.
With a title like "Escape From Bug Island", how can you go wrong?
If they had a better name, it would sell more, I swear. Toungue
remember that they're tweaking the Japanese controls and graphics to make it better.
I don't remember that, but maybe they are.
