A Bug's Life is a computer game based on the Disney / Pixar film The Big Crawling . It was released for PC and several game consoles in 1998 and 1999. When the player has finished a level, he can unlock some movie scenes. This game was actor Roddy McDowall's last workuntil he died in 1998.
action
The game is largely based on the same story as the film. As winter approaches, the ants that Flik belongs to build up a large supply. Like every year, this is blackmailed for food by the grasshopper "Hopper" and his gang. With the help of his friends, Flik sets out to drive Hopper away.
Game mechanics
The game is a third person - Action Game , each with different goals in a total of 15 levels. In order to pass this level, the player acts partly with the fauna. For example, you can jump over gorges with the help of toadstools . The game always combines jump 'n' run elements. In the course of the game you meet five bosses who you have to defeat in order to advance. If the player collects all bonus items in a level, he can unlock a new video clip based on the film template. Since the game was designed primarily for younger players, telescopes fly in each level to help the player solve a problem.
criticism
The game received rather average reviews. The Nintendo 64 version has a rating of 54% in game rankings. The PlayStation version of the game received poorer ratings in general and only received a rating of 50% from Game Rankings and only 2.7 out of 10 points on GameSpot . Gamespot particularly criticizes the poor graphics and the complicated camera work.
