I'm wondering that myself.
In the novel and the movie, the relative power levels of the individual humans and bugs are basically reversed: humans in tank-like power armor wading through bug hordes vs. humans with rifles fighting giant bugs that can slice and dice them. (And then, of course, there's the wide disparity in the tech level of the bugs in the novel as compared to their movie counterparts.) It sounds as though the cartoon, which I've only glimpsed, manages to find some middle ground, but based upon your review, it doesn't sound as though the game does much for the novel purists.
Great review, though!
