0 plays 1998 #Shooter
Buck Bumble is a 3D third-person shooter video game developed by Argonaut Software, that was published in 1998 by UbiSoft for the Nintendo 64. The game's premise centers around a war of two factions of anthropomorphic insects, created as a result of a chemical spill in London. The game received lukewarm reviews at release, even positive ones mentioning technical shortcomings. However the soundtrack and its main theme, both composed by Justin Scharvona, were praised after release, and it's enjoyed a modern resurgence of popularity, despite the game's otherwise relative obscurity.

What the critics said
She criticized the flying and walking controls and deemed the multiplayer modes "seemingly quite literally thrown in."
