"Aladdin is better than the average game"

Aladdin might not be exactly what you call a ''challenging'' game, but it is fun. For people under the age of ten, however, it can be quite challenging. The game consists of many fun levels and a few hard ones. When I say ''hard'' levels, the carpet level comes to mind. One of the fun things with this game is the codes to get you to farther levels. Using this, you can get to the very last level without doing anything.

::Graphics::

8/10

The graphics aren't the best, but they are still good. The enemies you fight look pretty good. There is food and other items scattered throughout the levels. When you come up to them, you actually know what they are!

::gameplay:

10/10

The gameplay is just wonderful! You have a full range of motion. You can jump, swing, attack, and, well, that's about it. The boss fights are fun and you get to kill bad guys. When you are on a water level, make sure not to fall into the water or you'll die. Also, boulders try to knock you down. There is enough stuff to do in this game to keep you occupied for hours on end.

::story::

7/10

There isn't much story like in almost all games like this. All it is, ''Save the princess,'' like in many other games, but it is like the movie. There is almost everything in this game that there was in the movie. You go into the Cave of Wonder after you meet Jasmine. When you get in the Cave, Abu touches the ruby and the cave starts to collapse. Then you have to escape from the collapsing cave on the magic carpet. After that I don't know if it is like the movie, as I only beat the cave once.

::Replayability::

10/10

Here is one of the strongest points of the game. You could play it over and over again. At least I could. I used to play this game for hours on end. Maybe this is why this game is best for little kids; they don't get bored easily so they will play this game forever and think it is hard.

::Difficulty::

Medium

This game might seem unbelievably to older people, but to younger kids, it is hard. I know it was for me. The carpet ride level is hard. To beat it, you need a lot of experience with that type of gaming.

::Buy/Rent::

BUY! It is fun!
