there are no glaring problems with either iteration of the character.Item: 402280264518 Disney's The Lion King: Animated StoryBook PC CD kids animated movie based game!. This is just preference, though, as both control very well. The hyenas who gave you problems fall by the wayside.Īs a while, I find that the adult Simba gameplay is more satisfying than cub Simba. Graphically, this level also stands the test of time and looks decent even in 2017.Ībout three quarters of the way through the game, Simba grows up. This is one of the tensest levels in the game, and I really enjoyed playing it. You need to dodge the stampeding herd and jump over rocks. The first of these is the Stampede level, where as young Simba, you’re running away and through a stampede. There are levels in The Lion King that differ greatly from the rest of the game. Other than a few spots here and there, though, the platforming overall gets a bad wrap in The Lion King. Jumping up rocks sometimes doesn’t register and you fall down. The harder parts really come from places where the platforming should be simple. I found that these parts were easier than made out to be. The parts of the game that people complain about: giraffes, graveyards and all work better than they get made out to be. And when it doesn’t, I’m not sure why it didn’t and don’t know what I could have done better. When the platforming in the Lion King works, it works well. The Lion King has some of the best and worst platforming I have ever experienced. The music in the Genesis game is still passable though, and I still enjoyed it. The music sounds better and has more distinct pieces. I will say though, that the Super Nintendo version has superior music. I don’t have any problem with the music in this game as a whole. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that I love the music. Both versions, film and game, played a huge role in my childhood. It isn’t a secret by this point that I grew up with The Lion King. I just can’t wait to listen to this soundtrack: It is really just a pallet swap and flipping around of the first level of the game. There is one specific level, Simba’s Exile, which pales ion comparison to the rest of the game. In addition to each level being set in an obviously different part of the film, the colors and aesthetic tones of the levels come together to make each level unique, memorable and an overall joy to play in. The colors pop and each level is distinct and beautiful. On both versions, the environments are rich and colorful. Simba looks a little washed out and bland on the Genesis, but on the Super Nintendo, he looks a lot better. Visual pride:Īlright, lets get down to the first, and probably easiest to throw away category for review purposes. The point I am trying to make here is that I have returned to The Lion King recently, and what I found is a platformer that not only is passable, but stood the test of time. These don’t help me to easily take off the glasses. The soundtrack is ripped right from the movie and aesthetically, the game is close. There is a lot to say about The Lion King. There was time in the middle there where I didn’t play, but just recently I returned to and finished this game for the first time. I played The Lion King as a young child and continued to play it through my seemingly entire life. There is more to this platformer than hating African wildlife, however, and if you have the patience to get through the learning curve, you will be in for a great experience. In its wake, it left behind a seemingly entire generation of kids who from that very moment, would hate giraffes and ostriches. The Lion King for the Sega Genesis released in 1994.
