Don't waste your money!

This has to be the worst game. If nothing else, it's totally boring. My little boy gets so frustrated trying to play it that he just turns it off. (me too!) We have never gotten past the "flying off the cliff" level. A total waste of money!

gone in 60 seconds

This game is one of the worst games that Disney Interactive ever created. When you first put it in and see the movie you think that it will be great but then you have only 2 level choices Training and Anthill. I like Training better than Anthill but it still stinks. Also the game freezes too often. When I was on the 5th Level the one where you hop on the dandelion and get across the Canyon without the bird killing you. I was across the canyon and then the game froze and I had to start over and that was the level that I always have trouble with that level.

Another thing that bugs me is that the stupid worm takes about 100 red berries to kill and only 4 blue berries 2 green, and purple berries. And it still takes two gold berries to kill it!!!

Same thing with the one bug that guards the fence takes 100-150 reds 6 blues 3 green 2 purple and 2 gold and that ticks me off really bad.This game stinks and you definetly DO NOT want to buy this game.

(I am actually rating this 0 but there isn't a 0 voting button.)

Cute idea...but that is where it ends

A Bug's Life is directly based on the popular movie and most expected a better game than was delivered. It is more than apparent that this game was released as an advertising gig and it still needed some serious time on the old drawing board. The 3-D graphic games are usually a problem for the playstation, however this game may reach an all time low. The main problem (and it is a HUGE problem) is the camera angle. You can never really control Flik (the main character) and spend more time walking off of things and running into enemies and just being annoyed in general. To add insult to injury, the game is geared toward kids but the major problems with control, unexplained game freeze-up and long load times will frustrate kids and adults alike. The dreaded dandelion flight is a journey into hell as far as I'm concerned. It takes numerous (and I do mean numerous)attempts to get across the canyon and half the time the game freezes up just as you get across. Additionally, the enemies that you encounter require huge amount of berries to actually kill them...unless you have managed to find a good supply of the rare gold berries. This only adds to the frustation of this game.

This game is not worth the effort and is a huge disappointment overall. Rent it before you buy and if you haven't thrown the controller across the room about 20 times then you can give yourself a big pat on the back and consider buying the game.

...in more ways than one. Besides the overall poor quality of the game, there was that camera! Honestly, whoever designed that thing needs to be smacked with a wet fish.

I played levels 1 through 10, and then had to stop just before the end of the game because I was nauseated and had an eyestrain headache. I am not exaggerating.

The camera has a tendency to swirl around when you need it to stay still, and to sit still when you need it to move. The grainy, pixelated graphics and complete lack of distinguishing features in the levels make it not only very easy to get lost, but also very hard on the eyes. When you need to jump across platforms or walk AROUND something, that's when things really get bad. Flik leaves almost no shadow on the ground when he jumps, so your jumps will usually be blind leaps of faith. The other problem is his feet. He dangles his feet so low when he jumps, that 9 times out of 10 you will miss a platform because his feet won't plant on it. And, when he does land, he won't stop running, which will send him promptly stepping right off the other end of the thing and forcing you to do the jump all over again.

The other problem is the camera angles when walking around something. When you walk around to the other side of a large object, for some idiotic reason, the camera does not follow you. As a result, you are sitting there with your entire screen filled in by this object while you can't see Flik on the other side. Now, as if that situation is not bad enough, picture yourself having to do a platform jump while your view of Flik is completely blocked by a large rock on the screen, or being hit by an enemy that you can't see because the camera won't move. Instead of turning with you, you must stop for about 5 seconds after turning to allow the camera to "catch up." At the same time, the camera has a tendency to turn even while you're just running straight ahead in a single direction, which results in you being completely reversed. It's completely disorienting, and with the bland, nearly identical levels, you can find yourself lost and irritated very frequently.

It's all fun and games, until you've developed a tension headache trying to look at the bad graphics and camera angles, and flung your controller across the room because you just don't feel like attempting that same jump for the 89th time. Please, stay away from this one. Don't become an accomplice to anymore game companies trying to cash in on a movie franchise.

I bought this game a few years ago and I liked it because I was only about 5.
But now that I'm 11 now and I have not played this game for years I thought why not try this game since I forgot so much things about it.
The game was really boring.
I just got to level 4 and that was it.
It was plain boring.
And Filk never stops saying unreasonable commets.
And also the graphics are horrible.
Don't buy this game!!!
