Now, as you are probably wondering, the gameplay is what makes Fright of the Bumblebees feel, well, like Wallace & Gromit. Focusing on a few mundane, yet entertaining, tasks, Bumblebees has you trying to piece together several bits of information to accomplish a task. Much like you would in a game like Myst without all the depth and complexity that comes with titles like that. Although, that doesn’t mean you can breeze through Wallace & Gromit either. I feel secure enough in my masculinity to disclose that I did get stuck at two different places in the game. One took about 20 or so minutes to figure out, but the other took me at least an hour and a half to figure out. I honestly have no idea how I managed to get that lost, but it was at this moment that I would have really liked to see the game give you some more hints when you are stuck. After all, this is a game that is designed for children. Outside of that though, the gameplay doesn’t do anything groundbreaking or extremely extraordinary, but what the game does it does very well.

You may be surprised by Fright of the Bumblebees, much like I was, but there is no doubt that is a great title that a child would enjoy. There are supposed to be three more episodes launching in the not-so-distant future, so the bundle should provide many hours of enjoyment for either your son/daughter or the whole family.
