A Bug's Life
First things first. The movie was made for kids, and so is the game. So if you are a hard-core game player, you'll want to turn immediately from this game. With that being said let's progress. The graphics are pretty decent. With lot's of towering items & plants all over the place. And everything can be easily made out. The only signifigant problem is that the game suffers from slow-down every once in awhile. Which drags the whole experience along. And the gameplay is straight out of Mario 64. Well, just a way lot easier. From simple platform jumps to rendering deadly bugs unconscious. So the kids will definitely find it easy to play this game without much complaint. And if anything the game is just too short. When it's all done and said you just wish there was more to see & do. Kids will probably be satisfied with it. Luckily the short movie clips & easy play are sure enough to keep the wee-ones entertained for awhile. Overall it's a pretty good game that a parent can trust to keep their kids busy.
