Collecting 100 tokens earns an extra life, and the fruit can be used to dispose of enemies. No matter where he is, Tarzan must collect the tokens and fruit that are scattered about. While many of the levels offer platform-jumping, vine-swinging fun, some of them recreate some of the action sequences from the movie. The game follows the plot of the movie: you must help Tarzan grow from a boy to an adult in the span of 14 levels of action. Still, Disney's Tarzan is a good game, and considering how hard pressed I am to think of any other Edgar Rice Burroughs-based video games off the top of my head, that's not bad! Disney's Tarzan was developed by the same team which had earlier created a similar game based on the Disney Hercules film.Disney’s animated film TARZAN gets the videogame treatment and makes his way to the Game Boy Color. The notion that Tarzan, who tore apart lions with his bare hands, fought against the agents of Stalin, and led a crack team of African riflemen against the dinosaur-riding serpent men of the inner earth, could be hurt by a ring-tailed lemur is laughable! Having actually worked with ring-tailed lemurs, I can tell you that they're less dangerous than cats. Also, since many of the enemies weave in and out of the 2-D path, it can be hard sometimes to tell when one of the enemies is actually in your hit-plane.
You'll get tired of hearing Tarzan's beast-cry (especially young Tarzan's beast-cry) very quickly.
There are a few qualms I have with this one, though. To be certain, there are some hard spots, but it's difficulty rarely feels “unfair”-for instance, nothing in Tarzan is comparable to The Lion King's nightmarish “Can't Wait To Be King” level.Įverything in the game is brightly-colored and well rendered much of the CG looks almost animation-quality. While Donkey Kong Country's jungle runs may be brutal and unforgiving, Tarzan puts a greater onus on level length than deathtraps and dirty tricks to stretch out its playtime. And that's OK! You can race your way through the fairly lengthy levels, jumping through trees and swinging from vines quickly, or you might take a leisurely (or thorough) approach, finding all of the items and secrets each level has to offer. Though Disney's Tarzan is fully 3-D rendered, and there are some curling and curving side paths, Tarzan is a fairly linear 2-D platformer. Run through the jungle, collecting tokens and fruit while avoiding enemies-in this regard, Disney's Tarzan is very similar to the Donkey Kong Country games.
While Disney's animated adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan of the Apes may have failed to capture the magic that made it one of the greatest novels of the 20th century, the video game adaptation of the Disney movie offers a more-than-serviceable action platforming experience.
