Buck Bumble is a bumbling mess of controls, design, and movement. While the aspect of a bee going around shooting futuristic evil wasps in a variety of low key normal areas you'd see in any suburb area is at least interesting, playing through it is a very daunting task to be had. The controls are not intuitive at all, and even near the end I was still struggling with camera issues, Buck going too fast or too slow, and aiming in general. The free range area to fly Buck in is certainly ambitious at least, but often things are hidden far too well or too hard to reach that it often gets frustrating due to the inability to shot well, and enemies killing you just way too fast. Add this with a variety of tricky flying sections, and horrible turning mechanics make for moving Buck completely unsafe. The story itself is rather barebones; acting more as a device than anything interesting.Thankfully Buck has one great aspect to it, and that's its limited soundtrack. While a lot of songs have a funky beat to it, and honestly aren't bad to constantly listen too, the opening title theme legitimately slaps, and it makes me wish for a better game just so we can get more of these fun tracks.Despite Bumble being quite a mess, the game has a lot of charm to it, and if it weren't for the fact it was trying to do so many things at once, it could have been a clear hidden gem ****, but it's not. I certainly would love to see Buck Bumble return to video games more akin to a Star Fox on-rail shooter with empathize on it's soundtrack in levels, but that likely won't happen.
