PlayStation 2 Year: 2007 Developer: Beenox (yes, really) Genre: Action-Adventure / Platformer The Setup Let’s get one thing straight: Bee Movie Game for the PS2 has no right to be as competent as it is.

The PS2 version (also on Wii, PC, and DS) is an open-ish hub-world adventure set across a few key areas: Central Park, Barry’s hive (Honex Industries), Vanessa’s apartment, and a sprawling courtroom. You fly, collect pollen, race against wasps, solve environmental puzzles, and engage in “bee battles” — which mostly involve dodging and stinging enemy bugs. bee movie game playstation 2
