  • Summary: Insecticide is a noir thriller set in an insect world that plays out through a wide variety of offbeat action and adventure levels. In a city overtaken by a sudden crime wave, rookie detective Chrys Liszt is on a crusade to rid the city of lowlifes. However, she immediately discovers that to reach her goal she will have to face the city of Troi’s most powerful criminal entities. Using only high tech pollen-based weapons, innate bug abilities, and hand-to-hand combat skills, Chrys must clean up Troi as well as learn more about her own past, which remains shrouded in mystery. Insecticide fuses elements from different videogame genres to create a seamless, engrossing story-driven gameplay experience. Lighting fast shootouts, a cityscape brimming with life and high production value voice-overs and cut-scenes result in entertainment on par with Hollywood’s best. [Gamecock Media]… Expand

    Up to this point, it appears Insecticide is a reasonably good game unnecessarily sliced in twain.

    Insecticide is an enjoyable, but short experience that you'll finish in five or six hours.
  3. LEVEL (Czech Republic)

    Amusing insight to the world noir of insects where murders occur instead of pollination. Insecticide is bit short for its price but if you like humorous games ("Hands up!" "All of them!!") you will not be disappointed. [Sept 2008]

    Mediocre, short, and not very detailed. Good atmosphere. Not impressive. The game was meant for the DS. It was obviously ported to PC, and has graphics comparable to a mobile game system, which is not very good for PC. The action gameplay is basic, the voice acting is acceptable, and the "detective" sequences are basic "click everything" with minimal actual puzzles. I ran through in a very short period of time, then uninstalled, as it has zero replayability, and rather want the time and money back. The film-noir that it clings to is all that makes it tolerable, the game fits the word "mediocre" quite well. I've gotten more enjoyment for less money from MANY other things.… Expand
