Buzz Bombers
Intellivision version
Simple, annoying, little replay value.
The Good
The game's cute and the graphics are nice and inviting. The bees and the spray can are easy to identify and the hummingbirds are nicely animated. It's easy to figure out what to do and the levels are pretty easy to beat.
The Bad
The music is very repetitive and hard to listen to, and the controls are very hard on you. Whenever I fire a shot from the spray can I often feel like I'm frozen in place until the projectile is off the screen, which can get frustrating and makes it very hard to aim. Once you play through one stage, you've pretty much seen all the game has to offer. After three stages, I had no desire to play it ever again.
The Bottom Line
Buzz bombers is somewhat of a strange game and has a sort of charm to it that makes it a little amusing to watch, but it's irritating to play for more than a minute. I don't recommend it.
