It might be fun, if it would install

After trying to install this game on 4 different PC's, downloading directx from Microsoft.com , opengl from opengl.com and numerous email correspondences to the developer of the software, I still can't get the game to play. It was a total waste of [$] and my 8 yr. old son (who plays this game at school on a MAC) is totally dissappointed. Support at the developer threw in the towel and couldn't assist. Be careful with this one, it's the first game I've ever had this issue with.

The Bugdom Nightmare

My 6 year old son learned about Bugdom in kindergarten, on their Mac computers. He loves the game, and pleaded with me to buy it. I bought the Windows version for our family computer, only to find out after much aggravation, phone calls and wasted time, that Bugdom doesn't work on Windows XP Home Edition. It has something to do with the Windows 2000 drivers that are in the Windows XP Home Edition. I'll have to return the game. Don't assume, as I did, that if Bugdom Windows version works with Windows 95/98, it'll work with XP. While my son whould rate this game a 5 , I have to rate it a 1 since I could never get it installed. Maybe it's time schools started using pcs instead of Macs, since those are what most homes and offices use.

Too Bad that PC problems abound.

Tech support my [foot]! Reading through all the other reviews here ...just reinforces my opinion, developed through my own experience with these morons. A woman answered and seemed less than thrilled to discuss Bugdom problems. It was also clear she understood computer systems less than myself. She basically wasted my time and my money (not an 800 support line)talking to other people in her office about other topics (she didn't completely cover the mouth piece while blowing me off).

It appears that a completely different company developed the PC version than did the MAC version. There is no real support from any of them.

I upgraded all the drivers that others have recommended. Unfortunately I happen to be one of those poor saps that purchased a 3DFX VooDoo 3D 3500. Now that they (3DFX) have bitten the dust there are no more driver updates through them (I'm sure the folks at ODI will be standing in the same unemployment line soon). Although there seem to be some 3rd party updates good luck trying to decipher the tech nerd jargon used to explain installing (when that even exists).

This one is going back. I wouldn't recommend this unless you are a very capable systems trouble-shooter.

No Technical Support- too bad for a great game

After great expectations the software arrived and the files areincomplete- Errors abound as we try to load- No help file- no oneanswers the help line after 5PM on Weekdays and nothing onweekends. My son who loves this game is crushed.... A real bummer.

what were they thinking,not another corky standard MAC game, Well atleast I haven't seen cro mag rally on the PC. Well lets start with the first level basically all you do in this is get run over by slugs (who you can see through when your get run over) and then punch some ants and then you get lost, the level has so little bad guys that once your done beating them up you won't have anything else to do because the level is so confusing.
and when you have to use a cheat to beat the first level there's something wrong. The installation takes fifteen hours and you to go into the heart of your computer for it to work right. I would avoid this at all costs. THE END!!!

Too many defects

Ok. This game is cute and at times fun, but at the same time disappointing. There are defects in it. Several times on the fourth level I get stuck in between this blank wall, which by the way is not intended to be a part of the game. When the bug is on the dragonfly, he gets hung on him and the wall and you have to restart the level and go back to the beginning of the trail. This has happened more than once. I think the part where the feet stomp is a little too excessive-almost too hard. And this game is for kids? I'm an adult and it is hard for me. The challenge can be fun, but the defects and glitches-a bummer. I want my money back.....

Good-But not on PC

I think that this game is lots of fun to play-on a Mac. I bought this game for the PC and only played it once. The graphics are sloppy and the gameplay is slow. I would recommend it for those with an I-Mac, but not for a PC.

Addendum to my scathing earlier review!

OK. I got Bugdom working after a little guidance from Tech Service.

The problem was installing the OpenGL drivers. Once I had those set up properly AND new video drivers for my video card, I was off and running.

It is a beautiful game that my seven year old navigates with ease.

If it wasn't for the installation problems, I would recommend this game to everyone.
