Honestly I kinda vibed with this game, love me some bugs fighting other bugs action. Hell, Insector X flat out feels like it's trying to seduce me with it's use of ancient Egyptian architecture in it's first stage. It's a shame they throw that out as soon as you enter the second stage where it looks like the back of some guy's yard, but without any of the fun shit like a children's sandbox or an overturned toy dumptruck.

The lack of any parallax scrolling really makes the game look cheaper, now I know why people even older than me go nuts for that shit. It's actually funny when at the end of a section your guy stops momentarily, I thought my game locked up at first due to how nothing is moving on screen during it. They apparently fucked with the character designs and turned everything from cartoonish to a sci-fi robot style, which I'm gonna say actually worked out better. I dunno, maybe it's because I played Gadget Twins recently, but I'm all for seeing this adorable moth robot carrying a large cannon with it's legs, meanwhile this spider thing with human-looking limbs freaks me the fuck out.

I don't think this one's too bad, but yeah just play Bio-Hazard Battle/Crying for your bug shmup fix.
