I liked it well enough to buy one

We rented this game from the video store to try it out, and we liked it well enough to buy one. I thoroughly enjoy this game in spite of some flaws in the animation. Maybe that's because my criterion for a good game is that it should challenge my reasoning skills. This game definitely does that!

Although "Bug's Life" is rated "6 years and up" in terms of content (from the G-rated movie), it's a difficult game that might frustrate some children, and will definitely challenge adults. It has five "worlds" with 3 levels each (that's 15 levels in all). So far, I've only gotten to Level 4 (where the Bird gobbles me up every time!) Each time I play, however, I discover new tricks and features that I missed before.

Those users who complain of headaches from annoying camera swings may not have gotten the hang of how to control Flik. The camera's POV follows where Flik is looking, so, when he turns left or right, so does the camera. Since this is a 3D game, Flik can turn 360 degrees. Fast changes in POV can be disconcerting at first if you push too many different directional buttons in a sequence. Most of the time, however, you really don't need to spin Flik around so fast. Once I got my control down pat, I found the camera rotation to be very useful in orienting myself. Seemingly useless items (like the green acorn and big raspberry on level 1) make good landmarks once you learn the layout. Those landscapes are not as "featureless" as they first appear when you slow down and take the time to look around.

The real trick in this game is not bashing bugs at breakneck speed, it's figuring out the best order to collect the various items. True, Flik's Red Berries are very hard to aim and you need several throws to do much good. They're meant to be that way, because they're his least powerful weapon. But find that green Homing Berry, and your aiming problems are solved, because it follows the target like a smart bomb! Also, I didn't find Flik's harvester on Level 1 until I had played for several hours -- but once I did, my whole strategy changed the next time around. And I'm sure it will change again, once I find whatever it is I need to get past that darned Bird!

It's just like the movie!

Although flying on the dandelion is very hard, once you pass that, it's a great game. It follows all of the scenes in the movie. I would not recommend this for young children. Some of the levels are not that easy.

Great game with lots of humor and bits from the movie!

Ok you are level ten phew was that boss hard or what ok listen up for all you Bug's Life game fans here is a hint on the bird level search every single I mean every single area try the grass or the ground cause the sticks are camoflauge trust me if you could fly on a dandelion surive in a rolling can and find 6 counting six missing chacters in the big city you can defintely build a bird made out of sticks and leafs. That was just a confident booster you know? Anyway search every where on that island I know it is tough but you made it this far and you can continue you on do it for the game creator's sake pleassssse? Seey Ya!Oh yeah nearly forgot be careful during the fire in the fake bird oh yes and just one tiny itisy little thing make sure the chacters don't run off (Laughs) kidding really I was kidding around.So have fun with this game look over my review two times.

Flik must leave Ant Island to search for tough bugs. This game you will keep playing and playing. You hurt your enemies by throwing berries at them. Purple are the strongest, then green, then blue, and then red. You change the berry power by getting berry power-ups. There are 5 bosses. They are Thumper, the bird, Thud, Molt, and Hopper. Trust me this game gets VERY HARD. I played this game for months and I am as far as the bird. This is the only thing bad about this game. There is also a practice round. It goes through everything you need to know. ( You can do this round as many times as you want.)

a day in life for bug

I had a fun experience playing a Bug's Life. After every 3 levels, there's a boss to play. So far there's over 17 different levels! The last level's boss is Hopper, who is the evil grasshopper in the movie. I have no idea how they make these 3D graphics, but there's one thing I know, this is a very, very cool game.

I LOVE BUGS !!!

This game is GREAT fun !! Bought it for my four year old, who just LOVES bugs, and I ended up loving bugs too. It is fairly easy for him, although he doesn't really understand the concept. He just loves jumping around as Flik and stomping on bugs. He's begining to get better at it, but he ends up going around in circles sometimes. I have to kind of supervise. I'm not a game player (don't like the anxiety that comes with the game playing), but I really like this one. It's cute and fun for the whole family.
