MTV chats with the lead designer of Deadly Creatures about the game and and how they need it to sell or it's back to making mini-games...

Jordan Itkowitz of Rainbow Studios talked with MTV about his expectations for Deadly Creatures, the game known by many as "the 3rd party dark hardcore game where you control a spider and a tarantula".

It was pretty easy, actually, because of the fact that we pitched it on the Wii � that was the magic word. said the game's lead designer when asked about how they pitched the game to THQ. "[THQ] was really interested in doing something for the Wii because they didn't have a whole lot on the roster for that. They were really supportive of the concept the whole time.

Mr. Itkowitz continues to say that response so far has been good, but as usual, it all comes down to sales: "I hope people vote with their dollars in February so we can make some more. Otherwise, it's back to mini-games."

Even if Deadly Creatures isn't a family game, Rainbow Studios realize the importance of having a game that can be played by a wider audience than just the core gamer: "It was a core goal at the outset not to exclude anyone. We specifically designed the beginning of our game to hook players � old and new � right away".
