Antz (Game Boy Color, 1999)

Not bad for a bunch of Antz doing what they do best. If you like Mario Brothers games, this is pretty much similar. You do lots of jumping up and down, bash enemies on the head, well most of them. Collect coins for extra lives. Try to find secret Keys for continues and hearts to heal. You can't ask much more from a hand held game. It starts off very easy, but boy, does it get hard as you go along. I still haven't cleared the last board. Too many crazy jumps to make, and if you miss one, you start back from the beginning. Thats the only real fault I see in the game, they made the last board almost impossible to clear.

For starters, it is really rare that a Movie turns out to be a good video game. Which I was shocked, I only payed a couple of bucks for it used, since it was old, and to my surprise it was a good little video game that kept me busy for a long time. In the start of the game it is boring, but you get to learn the basics of jumping and shooting, thats your two main things. You pick up this icon and it gives you 5 shots to fire per icon. Use them wisely as you get to the harder boards.

The Story is pretty much just like the movie. The female ant escapes to Insect Topia, and the Hero ant leaves to go find her, and its a long journey. He meets a lot of annoying bugs that want to whack him, don't want to say much cause I don't want to spoil it for the people that want to play this game. The graphics are pretty nice, which I enjoyed. This is my first GBC game, so its a lot different from the original. The music is pretty good, but not great. But if your playing on the go like I normally do, the sound is always almost off.

So basically if you enjoy a action platform Movie game, then this is for you and you won't regret it. Its a shame not to many people have bothered with this game, they must think like we all normally do, "Movie games don't quite cut it". But this one does, enjoy.
