    This is the new standard for perfection. This game is better than Halo 3.

    I'm new to video games, but I really don't see why this game has such bad reviews. I bought it cuz it was cheap and I wanted to get some games when I got my Wii, but I really like it. I find the levels challenging and interesting and the only really bad thing is the acting, but the missions are ok. I bought it for $15, so it was a good deal for me.

    It's insulting to play a game with such low standards. Ridiculously horrible gameplay, trashy visuals and sound explode into one of the worst gaming experiences. Ever. Save your time, money and braincells.

    This game is very very good. Maybe its not as good as Boogie but its damn close. Much better than Zelda which became boring after a while. This is nearly art.

    I am glad that Mike R., Ryan W., John S. and Joe W. Nintendo employees really liked the game. For the rest of us non-biased people, this game is completely unplayable. If you want to spend an entire game begging for your life to end, play this game.

    Games this bad shouldn't be published. Whatever happened to the Nintendo seal of Quality? Don't buy this even if your life depends on it.

    Escape from Bug Island does have a very long, but boring story with many fragments to collect. It will take around twenty hours to complete, but you're not going to have fun doing it. Half way through they recycle previous levels and throw in harder enemies and objectives. Cutscenes are extremely poor, I've seen better on Nintendo 64 with zero physics, bad voice acting, clipping issues,Escape from Bug Island does have a very long, but boring story with many fragments to collect.

Cutscenes are extremely poor, I've seen better on Nintendo 64 with zero physics, bad voice acting, clipping issues, and boring animations. Music and audio isn't much better, there are about three music tracks and they loop over and over again. The bugs sound like I would imagine. They did at least attempt to include poor quality sound it the remote. Bottom line it's a waste of time and money. Escape from this crappy game!… Expand

    Yes escape from bug island is a bad game, but is a good bad game. There's so many trash movies, and this game is a trash game. You will laugh of everything, from characters (who just left some crappy school movie) to enemies who made funny sounds or movements. You will hate or like of this game, and depends of how you see that, if take this game too serious, you will think this is a badYes escape from bug island is a bad game, but is a good bad game.

You will hate or like of this game, and depends of how you see that, if take this game too serious, you will think this is a bad crap game, but if you see this game just like a funny entertainment, you probably will think this game a good crap game. And to be honest the little story the game have, got my attention to see how this would finish. In the middle of game in a twist, you travel back to the begin of the story (I see a lot of people that don't liked this) but in my opinion, this gave a fresh air in the game play. The protagonist (and you) can change everything than it went bad before.

    So call some friends, drink a lot of beer and have some kind of fun.    … Expand

    It’s a boring ugly game with complicated controls and a B-Flick storyline. Who can’t wait for the US release!? [JPN Import]

    We applaud the return to nature, but outside of a few icky moments there really is nothing to recommend Necro-Nesia. Go throw a spider at someone; it's a whole lot more fun. [JPN Import; Mar 2007, p.52]

    Stiff controls and sloppy collision detection certainly don't help matters, nor do the truly atrocious production values. [July 2007, p.94]
