When
you hear the word "Aladdin” does your mind drift to the classic Disney
movie where Aladdin falls in love with the beautiful jasmine? Or maybe you would
recall the Arab folktale Aladdin and the magic lamp. For me I think of a game, a
game that I barely remember buying at eight years old.  Although this game can not compare to today’s
technology and graphics, it is still one of the greatest games I have ever
played.

 

Graphics:

 

Like
I said before its no HD award winning game play but for its time it was one of
the best. The characters are easily recognizable from the classic Disney cartoon.
The transitions are smooth and the animations are top notch. The monsters are intriguing
and appealing to look at and it has some of the best stage settings. But just
to warn you, the mood changes quickly from “oh sweet” to “oh crap!” in a matter
of seconds.

 

Sound:

 

For
its time Aladdin has the best sound I have ever heard. Each movement of enemy
or hero is personified threw your speakers to give you a realistic game play
experience. Without sound effects and captivating boss battle music the game
would be little to nothing.

 

Addictiveness:

 

After
a couple of levels you might just want to put you controller down and play
something more interesting. To really get into the game you have to come back
to it. If I had not played this game has a child I wouldn't’t have even given
this game a second chance. I feel like to fully appreciate this game you have
to relive some of you past life. For me Aladdin basically takes my childhood
and rubbed it all over the screen creating this collage of mixed emotions.

 

Story:

 

Who
here can sit down and watch a Disney movie and not be entertained in the
slightest? Aladdin will drag you into its basic but attention-grabbing story plunging
you into an adventure. The point of the game is clear and the characters are
spot on. You either learn to love the characters spending precious hours of
your life unraveling your hidden desires in the game and uncovering the meaning
of life. Heck you may even cure cancer! Or you will learn to hate and despise
each character for there flaws and dim-witted decisions.

 

Depth:

 

The
game is not a 5 minute play and run. It takes some time to navigate threw each
level but the rewards are worth it. If you’re an avid gamer and it isn’t your
first time at the rodeo than saddle up for one of the best games of your life. My
first time took me a whopping three months to complete. (Than again I was 8 at
the time). Today at 15 it only took me 2 days. (About 10 hours overall) I am
pretty sure though on my third play through I can knock it out to about 2 hours.
This is of course is if your going full out and 100% completing it. If you’re
just going for the adventure and overall feel it, depending on you game
experience, it could take one to seven hours.

 

Difficulty:


 

This
is a game that will keep you up all night only to throw the controller out the
window because YOU CAN’T FREAKIN’ GET THE GEM! The game will take you beaten
soul and beat it again after failing multiple times. One simple mistake and it
once again smacks you down right at the start to relive the torment you hoped
to avoid. But if you know what your doing and know how to adapt to controls and
environment its worth playing. It takes skill to conquer the steep cliffs and fiery
ledges. But the satisfaction at the end of the level will always leave you with
a smile on your face.

over all I would highly recommended this game if you know how to play. its fun and entertaining and I would play it again and again. but don't take my word for it.

see for yourself.
 

I would never think that a video game based off a movie would be good! I think I'm going to try this now. Nice review.
