Like the ad says, BUCK IS THE BEE!

I love this game. There's just not enough I can say about it. Buck is a character with as much personality as the video game world has seen in a long time! I mean, a cybernetic bee that can carry weapons that, probably, could kill off any super-powerful enemy in Doom or Quake, and levels that, while they are grainy, are still great fun. Multiplayer dogfight (or should I say beefight?)mode isn't the greatest, but the soccer mode is more entertaining. Play control, despite what others say, is still really good. Anyone who enjoys games like Space Station: Silicon Valley, Goldeneye, or Jet Force Gemini should play this.

Not a bad game

"Buck Bumble" is a pretty good game. In the one-player game, you have to make your way through several long, but fun missions. You play as Buck Bumble, a bee who's mission is to kill other insects that were created by a strong nemesis. Buck can carry and use several cool guns and other weapons to use against his enemies. In some levels, you mainly just have to kill other insects and find the end of the level, and in others you have to do things such as carry a bomb without dropping it and landing it on a safe pad before time runs out and it explodes. There are also fun levels where you have to go up against a boss. The only bad thing about the game is that most of the levels are overly difficult, especially after you get past Mission 8. So get ready to have to find a lot of extra energy which is in the form of a drop of honey on the tip of flowers in each level. Buck is a terribly slow walker on land, but you'll have to walk on land in order to defeat several of the enemies and bosses.

The graphics for "Buck Bumble" are done pretty well, especially the other insects and the landscapes. The controls aren't as good as they could've been, but they're good enough. I thought the sound and the music for the game was the best part about "Buck Bumble" other than the fun factor. To have something to do once you get tired of playing the one-player game, there's also a 2-player soccer game in which you and somebody else can compete against each other in a soccer match, which can also be a lot of fun. I recommend anybody to give "Buck Bumble" a try.

A bee's life is hard!

This game is very hard, but still fun. This game is an action-shooter that focuses around a cool lil' dude called Buck Bumble, who's mission is to kill bugs that were created by some chemical, (at least that's what I remember, I haven't played it in over a month) The game is divided up into 20 missions, 20 hard missions. I swear, you need a bigger life bar, more energy refils or something, you wanna hit yourself with the controller sometimes. It's mostly an in-the-air shooter because Buck is so slow on the ground, which sorta makes sense. Being on the ground sometimes is required to kill some of the monsters on the ground. It plays kind of like rouge squardron, bug style. I'm not too crazy about the in game music, but I love the title screen rap. Warning: This is not a game for novices. Even expert game players will have trouble with it. It was designed to be hard. If you're looking for some challenge, turn to this, you'll be at it for a while, (if you're not bored by then)

THIS GAME RULES!

Buck Bumble is awesome! In this game, you're this bee that is out to destroy 'The Hive', a group of super bugs (created by nucler waste) out to take over your garden, and then, THE WORLD! You take them on in the form of buck bumble, of course with the help of various guns and traps! Graphics are a little fuzzy, but I'm sure the expansion pack will fix that right up!

Good, but not great (maybe 3.5 stars is more like it).

Basically, this is a 3D shooting game. You are a bee that is trying to fight some evil bees or something. Anyway, most of the game is spent shooting down enemy bees with your laser while avoid their fire, kind of like those 3D dogfight levels in Star Fox 64. However, is some variety, like in some levels where you must collect things and one level where you must race through a sewer and plant a time bomb before it goes off. The graphics are a little grainy (the expansion pak will NOT fix this, because it is NOT an expansion pak game), but graphics are not as important as gameplay, right?

Betta bee ready

this is a cool game because the format and look of the game is so cool it should be done more often,and the bee is pretty cool too.The controls are very easy to get used too as well is the fact that your in a free roaming world.though this is not the best game,if you can get it under $...(and you can) then buy it you'll enjoy very much P.S its much better than i put it.:)

pretty good game

I borrowed Buck Bumble from a friend awhile back and I thought it was a pretty good game. The only things I didn't like about it were that after you get past mission 8, it gets too hard and every time you get killed, you have to start all the way over in that level. It's fun flying and killing the enemies and the boss levels are a lot of fun, but Buck has to be the slowest walker ever made when you try combat from the ground. The insects and graphics are done pretty well, but they could be a little bit better. The sound is probably the best attribute to the game other than the fun factor.

To keep it from getting too boring, there's a 2 player soccer game that makes this game a lot better. If you want a challenging shooting/adventure game, this could be a good game to get.

it's ok

I Rented the game once and got to the second world. I found the games controls very good most of the time, but having to destroy ALL the enemys in a level is just to hard. the big fat bugs that lay around are easy, but some of the flying ones are hard.
over all i say you should NOT get this game
