A
BUG'S LIFE By JAMES
ANTHONY The main character, Flik, is an ant with attitude who has to fight through hordes of aggro insects without so much as a can of fly spray to his name! And so of those enemies are pretty nasty critters - such as Hopper and his rascally band of grasshoppers. Poor old Flik has his hands full, all six of them, as on top of Hopper and his mates, he has to battle spiders, worms, wasps and beetles in order to save his colony's nest. To defend himself, Flik gets to biff fruit at his attackers and he seems to be a pretty good shot because all he needs to do is face in the direction of the other critters and he'll hit them. There's quite a bit of humour in A Bug's Life, particularly when he splats spiders as he comes out with: "That'll leave a nasty stain!" The 3D graphics are excellent and give you an ant's antenna view of the world. By crikey do those mossies look big! Using a keyboard to control the game is not as handy as a Playstation joypad (yes, A Bug's Life is on the PSX as well) but the added graphics with hardware acceleration the computer offers more than makes up for that. Youngsters will love this in either format. ORIGINALITY
