A 3D platformer based on the Pixar film.

Original N64europe Review

Disney's latest animated movie, A Bug's Life has now been turned into a 3-D adventure by Activision. Ever wanted to be a bug? Well, now it is possible to bug your way through 15 levels.

Animation powerhouse Pixas are the creators of the actual movie and they helped Traveler's Tales and Disney with creating the game which gives the game a real taste of the movie plot.

The Goals are to recover items, defeating bosses and finding exits. These are the three basic kinds of levels which themselves also contain other objectives. You can choose of several skill levels which provides challenges for different players.

You begin your quest with the main character of the movie, Flik. You'll start with an unlimited supply of fruit which you can use as weapons. But these fruit weapons won't be strong enough to get rid of the bosses in the levels. You'll have to find some better weapons to kill those bosses.

The camera work in this game is a bit dissapointing. It makes jumping from one platfrom to another a bit difficult.. But the camera is also the only minor point of this game.. so don't let it scare you away from buying this game. The n64 version of A Bug's Life also contains an exclusive mode, not available on other gaming stations. This mode is the Challenge mode. The challenge mode itself contains of 60 different tasks you'll have to complete against time.

This game will be a great game for everybody. The colorful characters will appeal to almost everybody I think.. It's the only chance you have of being a bug.. so take your chance!
