Oh... in the jungle, the mighty jungle!

Lion King: Simba's Mighty Adventure

Disney has a magical way of telling a tale and even their videogames have a resonance of class. The Lion King was a hugely popular movie and several smaller cartoons have been born from the great characters. Simba's Mighty Adventure is another of Disney's wonderful games where you take control of the young Lion King and must guide him through several colourful levels collecting bugs, stars and various pieces of a golden amulet!

Rumble In The Jungle!

As you would expect, the graphics are bright and colourful and the game features all the characters from the film. At the end of each platform level there is a boss creature to defeat and there are also additional mini-games which can be played in-between levels. Although the game does not take too long to complete, Simba's Mighty Adventure is well animated and provides some very good entertainment. Listen to me roar!
