Buck Bumble is an action video game for the Nintendo 64 released by Ubisoft in 1998.
[edit] Storyline
The game casts the player as a cyborg bee, Buck Bumble, part of an organization known as "The resistance." It is the Buck's duty to stop the evil Herd Army, bugs that have been mutated by chemicals spilled into a garden, who are bent on taking over the garden, and eventually the whole world. Buck is armed with 15 different weapons, including a tesla gun, a rocket launcher, and an RC missile launcher. While the levels are height restricted, Buck can fly around in over 20 missions, some requiring the placement of a bomb without dropping it.
Buck's missions send him to defend the resistance base, attacking Herd supply lines, traveling through sewers, and eventually fighting the Herd's mantis style Queen.
[edit] Multiplayer
Buck Bumble has a multiplayer mode in which up to two players can engage in an airborne dog-fight on a preset map.
Multiplayer also contains a soccer minigame. The goal is to hit a giant soccer ball into the opposing player's net, just like soccer, except the player has the ability to kill his or her opponent in the process. Players are able to use two weapons from the game; a simple zapper, which gently moves the ball along, and a rocket launcher, which sends the ball flying in a different direction.
