Paneless's Full Review: A Bug's Life for Nintendo 64
While inferior to Antz as a movie, A Bug's Life has no competing game (with the exception of the PSX version of itself, but you should try to refrain from comparing games on different consoles), and can therefore be judged on its own merits.
A Bug's Life is a loose action game. The camera is not so much of a camera as a wobbly point-of-view for you to try to follow in your quest to free your enslaved ant brothers.
The action is decent enough--though extremely contrived--for how long now have we been chucking little berries at the baddies? I wish some more creativity would have gone into this project, for in the film Flik was a very inventive guy, and surely the developers could have came up with some little contraptions...a grain shooting gun or something?
Yes, there is the old collecting bit to this game as well. Collect the letters of Flik's name, a certain amount of grains, as well as extra goodies to make useless little trifles appear. Are we excited yet?
On the plus side, the levels are very interesting, invoking the movie decently. Also, all of the squishes and crunches are realistic...or as they should be. The levels are teeming with life and color, almost too much, where it gets to be a drag on the eyes!
In the end, A Bug's Life isn't the greatest game ever, and there are certainly worse movie games, but the overly loose controls and slightly repetitive gameplay doom any chances of standing out.
