Insecticide continues to be dizzying


We'd love to say it's because the game looks great (it does!) Unfortunately, the cause for our dizziness is the continued use of the "flying DS" style of trailer, in which all efforts to look at the action on the screen are rebuffed by the constant movement of the DS.

The effect is only mildly annoying, and it can't prevent all viewing of new Insecticide footage. The trailer focuses on one of the game's action stages, with Chrys Liszt chasing after a suspect through a circuitous level full of precision jumps and rail-thin platforms.

Insecticide is due out January 8th, and we're giving it some serious thought.

Doesn't look any more dizzying than Prime Hunters to me... And the graphics look ficking amazing considering the hardware it's running on.

I'm glad they fixed the "stylus randomly tapping the top screen" issue that the first trailer had.
