 Fun Underrated Game! :o) March 5, 2008
I like cheesy B horror movies, so when I saw the title "Escape from Bug Island" I knew I wanted to own it.
The graphics are really wonderful, not 'cartoonish' compared with many wii titles. The story is good to me. (It has a little love story to it) So far I like the game a lot! :o) I haven't had the control issues that I've read about here. (You may wanna up the sensitivity of your sensor bar)
I think the game is well thought out. You don't just swing your wii remote around all crazy & attack bugs - each type of bug has attacks that are best to defeat it. You collect weapons & food while searching the island for your friends. It's kind of like a mystery I've found a few clues that are to be left behind by others who have visited the island.
It's a fun game & I recommend it, but if you aren't sure, rent it first - you may be surprised to find that you like it.
B game B good. January 4, 2008

The premise of this latest Wii game is nothing to be taken seriously. Dumped on a mysterious island it's kill or be killed when things start to head south and giant insects attack! The controls work surprisingly well and you'll adjust to them in a short amount of time. The graphics aren't superb but this is an independently produced game.
Sounds and music stay pretty creepy and add to the feel of the game, and the creatures might genuinely make you jump.
Now to the bad parts, there really isn't a huge amount of plot. What you do get is good but it makes you hungry for more. Get used to walking back over areas many many times, and the creatures, though nicely designed are a bit repetitive. Killing 100-200 of one specie per area will become commonplace. Gore comes out of bug corpses all the time but even with the bug guts and dialogue I didn't see anything truly worthy of an M rating. If your kid is on the border of the upper teens rest assured that this is nowhere remotly near say Manhunt2 or GTA.
Overall because of it's bargain game status I found this to be a worthy addition to my gaming library, others may not think so.
The verdict is "Try it before you buy it."
 this is a bad game August 26, 2007

Just check out the reviews it's getting-nothing above 5 out of 10. It has terrible graphics and very clumsy controls. It was only published because the publisher was desperate for anything to publish on the Wii. AVOID THIS GAME. You are much better off getting Resident Evil 4 then this game. Eidos is known for quality games but this time all they did was localize a bad Japanese game made by a crappy developer.
Horrible garbage.... August 25, 2007

Honestly... I have reviewed this item 3 times and each time my reviews do not make it on here to warn others to not waste their hard-earned cash on this junk!!!
It took 33 minutes before we were done with the reading. BLAH BLAH BLAH... it goes on and on and on. Then we get stuck right at the very beginning. Just horrible game with a stupid premise. A Japanese game that should have never been brought here.
PLEASE STAY AWAY!!
