Disney's The Lion King 1 1/2
Review by samwise22gamgee
"Ok not bad but not good either."
Ok this game is partially fun. I shall tell you now that if you can enjoy a disney game this is good while it lasts.
Graphics: 7/10
The Graphics are not that bad but yet fail to make you feel like you are playing through a movie. The characters are decent and the backgrounds are good. But not good for GBA good for GBC more likely.
Sound: 0/10
Now here is where the game turns ugly. The sound is horrible. I would not even turn on the sound for this game. So the sound gets a very low score.
Story: 1/10
Ok the whole point of The Lion King is about simba becoming king. Well this has several plot holes. The story is of the entire movie which has plot holes as well. So lets see they arrive at pride rock at simbas birth and then a few days later simba is grown up and they live in their new home. Wierd huh? Well there is even more. But I will not spoil it for you.
Music: 0/10
See sound for info on music. Just as horrible.
Playability: 5/10
Ok good playability for the first time around. DO NOT TRY TO COLLECT EVERYTHING it gets too boring. This game needs to be put down or remade.
So believe me this is for young people who are just starting out with games. Let me go over it. The goal is to get both Timon and Pumba across a stage. Simple right? No... this game has more twists. Sometimes to get 1 across you must use the other, making it harder but still simple. Also to fully complete a level you must collect a certain amount of insects. This is insane as most are in places impossible to reach unless you are very skilled at this game. Then their is the chase levels. Fall once and you lose. Not very good. So the playabilitys are bad unless you are a beginner.
Overall: 7/10
DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME UNLESS YOU ARE JUST STARTING OUT! THIS IS A GOOD FIRST TIME GAMER GAME! So if you are younger than 10 and want to try a good video game play this.
