Released: 1994
The Lion King is an action-platformer that's based on the 1994 movie of the same name.
+ Features lots of impressive voice clips and the cut-scene animation and surrounding artwork is stunning.
+ Music is terrific (with some great percussion SFX) and it successfully recreates many tunes from the movie.
- Game loves to screw you at every opportunity by dropping enemies out of the sky and having you rely on trial-and-error.
- Introduces elaborate puzzles far too quickly and the sharp increase in difficulty is likely to turn off most gamers.
- The level design is so poor that you'll find yourself begging for the next checkpoint just to avoid starting over.
- Collision detection when swinging is entirely broken and it's 50/50 whether you manage to grab hold of the next ledge.
