****************************************************************************
Opening Snide Remarks: I have not seen the movie on which this game is based.
I didn't really know much about this game before I bought it.

****************************************************************************
Gameplay Descripion: A Bug's Life is a standard platform game.  If you ever 
played a platform game, then you have pretty much already played this game.
There are a few new additions to the platform genre, but only a few.

Liked: New strategies for a platformer.

Hated: Unoriginal gameplay.

****************************************************************************
Graphics Description: A bug's Life has some decent color graphics. It's no
Carrot Crazy or Turok 2, but it looks okay.  The graphics are goofy-looking
because it seems like everything needs to be outlined in black.

Liked: The graphics resemble the movie.

Hated: Nothing's outlined.

****************************************************************************
Sound/Music Description: A Bug's Life has some really good music and some
pretty good sound fx.

Liked: Excellent music.

Hated: The sound alone can't save this game.

****************************************************************************
Play Control/Game Design: A Bug's Life controls pretty well, but the game 
design sucks like a Hoover.  The game design is so unoriginal that it 
would've seemed unoriginal 5 years ago.

Liked: Decent Controls.

Hated: A dead monkey could have designed a better game.

****************************************************************************
Improve: Hire a dead monkey to make the sequel. 

RIYL: If you like A Bug's Life, then I would recommend some serious
psychological help is needed.

****************************************************************************
Final Words: A Bug's Life is a game to be avoided at all costs.  This is the
bane of horrible licensed games.  This game sucks!!!!!
