Extreme disappointment

Much like movies, I find the beginning is very important in keeping the viewer from getting ancy and staying interested enough to pay attention.
This game starts with 3 people going to an island that is (knowingly) filled with insects that are of abnormal sizes to "study" them in hopes of yada yada yada.
The story starts with 2 guys and a girl sitting at a camp fire.
One Guy (Ray I think, {both drama queens}) holds a shotgun (just incase something bad tries to attack them.)
Everytime Mike or the girl are talking to Ray, he points the gun at them and u think the story is really about to pick up.
Apparently he's not actually pointing it but is just supposed to be fidgeting with it while talking.
Mike wants to ask the girl to be his BFF or something and Ray (knowing this) interrupts and asks her first. They were friends since before high school apparently and he goes and does something like that "because he didn't realize how great she was until you started talking about her".
I don't care if this game is meant for kids or the elderly. This story had me getting sick from the story from the get go.
After she runs off to 'think things over', you start in a VERY dark area with a stick as a weapon bumping into things in hopes they are an entrance or an item.
I met my first set of bugs, could barely attack them before feeling further sick and putting the game back in the sleeve to start my season of Metroid 3.
Much like 'Two Worlds' for the 360, this game has no business being on the Playstation 1, let alone the Wii.
Please heed my warning and stay away. I understand everyone’s into different genre's of games, but this one is no where in the ballpark where I can see even someone in Howard Sterns 'Wack Pack' enjoying it.
You're best bet is to buy an old NES game like Contra, Athena, or Bayou Billy instead of wasting 4 days for this game to arrive, realize how disgusting it is, and sending it back before the mailman leaves your block.
