  • Awesome Music: "Sea of Love", a country rock song exclusive to the Turbo CD version, is surprisingly catchy, especially considering it was written by Ken Melville, one of the co-founders of Digital Pictures.
  • Moment of Awesome: Before the exterminator minigame on his parents, Buzz tells ant queen "In my world, it's called rock-and-roll! Let's get funky, freakface!" Not only is it somewhat shocking to see him tell the queen off on the screen where she'd normally say something, but the one-liner's genuinely cool and well-delivered.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Most of the game utterly fails at feeling scary, but almost makes up for it with the "rescue" sequences where the victims are slowly eaten alive by ants.
  • Padding: A few scenes are straight-up repeated a couple of times.
  • So Bad, It's Good: It's not a good game in the slightest, but the FMV sequences are hilariously awful with the acting and quality.
  • Special Effect Failure: All over the place.
    • The (stop-motion) ant at the power plant and the canyon doesn't crawl from the ground insomuch as it just slides up and moves its appendages.
    • Whenever a character appears on TV, their heads poke out from the top of the screen.
    • In cutscenes, whenever someone fires a gun, nothing comes out of it.
