Metroidvania-ish

It's probably wrong to rate this type of game this high on the list, but going back to play it, you can feel like this game was trying to do something different from the pack. many of the levels are linear. you go from a to b, but there are some levels that requires some navigation skills here and there. …

It's probably wrong to rate this type of game this high on the list, but going back to play it, you can feel like this game was trying to do something different from the pack. many of the levels are linear. you go from a to b, but there are some levels that requires some navigation skills here and there.

It's obviously not that deep, and has a ton of hand holdings, you can adore this game for what it was trying to achieve, even on a smaller pace. it's not that hard, and very short too.

The graphics are colorful, and you know what? this is a game based on a Disney movie that is not insanely difficult.

As the first game that I ever bought from a local computer store as a kid, this one will always be special to me. I finished it several times over the years, twice with my girlfriend, who is now my fiancé. Times are changing, but the disk of the game is still one of my treasures.

It's a fun 2D platformer with some 3D levels, where you control Tarzan and his friends and follow the story of the also great animation film. Some levels are really memorable, like the tree surfing with Jane and using the umbrella as a shield against the monkeys or the boss fight against Sabor, the leopard. It also has collectibles, bonus levels and different weapons that you can use to survive the jungle.

if you like retro Disney titles, this one is top notch.
