Product Description

Amazon.com Review
Treasure Planet is an action-adventure game that plays at a tilted, isometric angle and has many platform game elements. As Jim Hawkins (a character from the movie), you run around, jump a lot, pick up items, and fight the likes of Meltdown, Noggin, Delilah, and Rusty Robot. When riding your Solar Surfer, you can speed up, jump, and shoot from your cannon. While the gameplay obviously involves some cartoony combat, Treasure Planet is more of an exploration and puzzle-solving game--in fact, most of the special moves Jim can do aren’t combat-based at all. For example, with your shape-shifting buddy Morph, you can do various combo morph moves such as seeing far away, jumping extra high, performing feats of amazing strength, lighting up dark areas, and becoming a storm cloud.

Treasure Planet captures the feeling of the movie quite well. The way the levels are set up and the way the music sets the mood puts you right in the movie. And to really make you feel part of the action, there are actual cutscenes from the movie. The only downside to Treasure Planet is that there is no battery save feature, though you can save your game via password. This gives the game a slightly rushed-to-production feel. That aside, Treasure Planet is a great title for kids and any fan of the movie. --Bryan Karsh

Pros:

• Great graphics and music
• Actual cutscenes from the movie
• Solar surfing. Need we say more?
• Special morph moves add originality

Cons:

• Password save only

5.0 out of 5 stars An extremely good GBA game, November 12, 2002

By	Brad (New York City) - See all my reviews

I bought this game the other day and I must say that it is one of the best GBA games out there. The graphics are very good and it is very enjoyable to play. I couldn't stop playing it till I had finished it!
Usually I've found that Disney GBA games are not very good but this one is different.
Overall I thoroughly recommend this game to anyone who likes adventure games and anyone who enjoyed the film.

Brad.

4.0 out of 5 stars fun, frustrating and then fun again, December 15, 2003

By A Customer

I got this game for my 8 year old grandson and for me because I liked the movie more than he did. Once I started playing it I couldn't put it down. Some of the levels are fairly straight-forward, but not easy and the solar surfer levels are very very hard. Once you get to the last level they throw you a curve and the last threshold to the end of the game is not where you expect it to be. All in all a very challenging GameBoy game for an adult. Probably your average 12 year old gameboy kid could whip through it quickly but it took me a few hours each night for a week or so because I was enjoying the way it looks and the whole experience. Beautiful and very detailed in the same lush style as the movie.
