Spooktober '22 | Escape from Bug Island (Wii) - Part 2 End
0We're in the back half of Escape from Bug Island, and boy does it go places and yet goes nowhere at the same time. We've caught up to Michelle in the Cave of Time, a place theorized in her book to act as a wormhole between the past and the present. Suddenly a giant monster bug appears taking Michelle and knocking us off a cliff into the time juice only for us to awaken... back at the beginning of the game. Yes this game has time travel. Armed with our newfound knowledge and access to firearms, Ray sets off to alter the events that had transpired.
Sadly this mostly means going back through stages that we've already done, though this time they have harder variants of enemies and many more of them it would seem. Some stages also have new side paths for goodies as well as the game has a couple new stages to throw into the mix. We've also got proper boss fights which is nice to see. Ultimately I think the game is kinda bad in terms of control and the back half being recycled stages but I found myself enjoying the adventure and all the dumb unlikable characters.
