    The game sucks you in with some deceptively clever and cryptic gameplay, but around the two-hour mark you’ll quickly realize you have tapped this game for what little fun it has to offer and there is nothing left.

    While the gameplay is pretty entertaining at times, borrowing a few design elements form some of the best adventure games out there, fetch quests still get in the way of an otherwise amusing escapade.

    Overall, the game just attempts too much and doesn’t follow-through on it.

    The Ant Bully is a cookie-cutter collect-a-thon adventure, and the game makes absolutely no attempt to hide it from the player.

    Its gameplay is niggling and its humour is trite and stale.

    Simply too generic in pretty much every way, a collection of ideas done hundreds of times before in other games, offering nothing new to excite or surprise the player. A wholly unremarkable and totally avoidable game.

    The Ant Bully on the Wii is basically the same uninteresting mess that came out for the GameCube six months earlier.

    Adults won’t like it, children don’t like it and absolutely no one should pay money for it—not even as a rental. Heck, we got our copy for free, and we still feel cheated. Stay far, far away from this trash.

I really hope I got it as a gift, because this has to be one of the worst games that I’ve played, from one of the most forgettable kids movies ever.
