Band of Bugs

[Mara]

The Good: Generally solid (but not terribly original) gameplay, some interesting special actions, level editor, multiple game types, bugs are fun.
The Not So Good: Poor interface and controls clearly not for the PC, fixed resolution not designed for LCD or widescreen monitors, fixed starting units (even for skirmish missions), AI is not challenging unless the player is outnumbered, multiplayer browser has too many filters, no manual and insignificant in-game documentation
What say you? A rough PC port of an average introductory turn-based tactical strategy game: 4/8

Low-budget "dark horse" possibility?

Perhaps the intent was toward the younger audience, who may not have the expertise for playing in more intensive games.
A trend is to reduce printed matter for all products. A full manual and other documents should, however, be included on the program disk.. either in PDF or DOC format. Printable if desired.

There were many very old games that were crude by today's standard.. yet they survive, and have improved greatly.
