A Bug's Life

December 15, 1998

THQ is one of the few developers who has supported the Game Boy since its inception, but the company's recent batch of games have not been very impressive. A Bug's Life features excellent animation that actually allows you to see an ant's antennae waver in the wind as it runs, and it's also loaded with cute cutscene stills that bring forth the story, but this about it for the pleasantries. A Bug's Life is also home to unresponsive controls, boring levels, shoddy background art, and action-lite gameplay. The kids are going to want this game, just like they wanted Toy Story. Steer clear, and recommend something else like Kirby's Adventure, Super Mario, or Donkey Kong Land.
