Product Description

Platform: PlayStation

Amazon.com Product Description

Simba's rite of passage from princely cub to king of the jungle is documented on the PlayStation with Disney's The Lion King: Simba's Mighty Adventure. In this 3-D adventure, players will take Simba through 10 levels, avoiding treacherous jungle obstacles and besting other beasts. Every level that Simba completes gets him closer to the throne, as he collects paw points and other items that signal his progress. But the game's more than just a platform power struggle; many different minigames will keep the young prince trained and entertained on his way to the top.

2.0 out of 5 stars You might want to work on that little roar of yours, January 25, 2002

This game could have been quite good, but unfortunately, it seems to miss all possible target audiences. It's too easy and annoying for adults and too hard and annoying for kids. The games big drawback is its clunky controls, which don't allow for the careful movements you'll need to land Simba on the next highest ledge or get rid of those pesky hyenas. Speaking of which, your anti-hyena arsenal is fairly [bad]. As young Simba, you have a roar with [little] range, a pounce which looks more like a bellyflop, and a rolling attack which can easily send you rolling off one of those narrow platforms. As adult Simba you have....the exact same attacks. You would think that maybe Simba's roar would become more effective, his pounce more impressive, or at least that he'd trade that roll in for a maul. But no, he's just bigger.
Storywise, this game doesn't have much to offer. Nine levels or so take you through both the original Lion King and the direct to video sequel. Clips from the movie, looking a bit high on pixels in their translation, attempt to bridge the segments, but unless you've already seen both movies, it won't make much sense. The shortened plot of the two films omits everything from Mufasa's death to the first half of the sequel which, it seems, is actually about Simba repeatedly rescuing his adult daughter and having a final showdown with Zira.
The graphics department doesn't offer much either. In polygon form, the characters look chunky and uninteresting. None of them are animated too well, making the game seem even more dated. The music and sound effects are all right with a few pretty good choral pieces. But someone forgot to compose a final battle score, so Simba fights Zira to an uninspired "doo dee dee doo". Only Timon and Pumbaa seem to retain their original voices; everyone else has been redubbed with varying degrees of sucess.
Playing through the game allows you to discover mini-games and eventually a puzzle game (the type where a picture is broken up into squares that you slide around to complete the image). The mini-games consist of a matching game with young Kiara (who looks a lot llike young Simba who looks a lot like young Nala), a bug catching game, Rafiki fighting off hyenas, and a whack-a-mole game with Timon and Pumbaa. Some of these are kind of fun, but the controls are still so unresponsive that the enjoyment is diminished. The puzzle game is about what you'd expect.
I played through the easy mode of this game in a few hours. After that, I felt no need to pick it up again. Kids and adults who really love TLK might like this game. But adults are better off saving up for an eventually DVD release of the film and kids will probably have more fun just watching the movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Step down Scar!, December 4, 2002

By 

Sam (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lion King 2: Simba's Mighty Adventure (Video Game)

When I got it I played it and finished in in two hours.
The levels are really fun, the mini games are exiting,
the movie clips make it even better.
But what disopointed me was the levels are short, and most
them are very easy,(once you get the hang of it).
But then again, there are some very chalanging levels too.
If you love the Lion King as much as I do you will really enjoy this game!
