Good representation of the movie

Advantages: Very good animation
Disadvantages: Can be a little to difficult

The Lion King has become one of my favorite Disney movies with its combination of cute and loveable characters and gripping storyline. It was inevitable that this movie would spawn an action computer game. The game Lion King is a two-dimensional platform game. The idea is to move along, jumping into trees, avoiding various wild animals, collecting stars and amulets and finally fighting the level bad-guy at the end. (This varies between jumping ...
...this affects your chances against the end of level bad guy.) Most of the levels are very similar with a combination of trees to jump, water to avoid etc. The only real difference being that it gets more difficult to navigate to the end of the level as the jumps get trickier and there are more wild animals to avoid. The animation, sound and graphics. The animation of the enemies and your character are excellent. The characters move with realistic ...

Review of The Lion King (Game Boy Color)

How to follow-up the "Best selling RPG of all time"

Advantages: Advanced on the older version, Great longevity, Improvement on the last seemingly-flawless game
Disadvantages: Out-dated by newer versions

Pokémon Gold was the second series of Pokémon games to be released on the handheld Gameboy console, it continued on a theme from the first series of having 2 separate game titles, each one referring to an opposite color; the first series being Red and Blue, this series being Gold and Silver. The two new games have the very hard task of following-up the extremely success of the previous two – which had set records for not only the shear amount sold, ...
...could have all easily gone wrong, but Gold & Silver managed to live-up to the expectations and even smash down the doors into a whole new realm of quality – they had done it again and bettered themselves from a seemingly impossible high. This is the first game which was available in color due to the release of the new Gameboy Color and was really nice to see the tiny, yet huge world of Pokémon in color for the first time. The game has the same ...

Review of Pokemon Gold/Silver (Game Boy Color)

Pokemon - Gotta Catch 'Em All!

Advantages: Fun and addictive
Disadvantages: Poor Graphics and music

...is successful sequel to the Pokemon Blue and Red versions. However, unlike Pokemon Blue and Red which were the start of the Pokemon franchise and inspired the future series, Pokemon Yellow was inspired by the series. So anyone familiar with the original generation of the Pokemon series will understand what I mean. You will be able to pick up that many of the characters and Pokemon have changed there appearance to match the animation and most notably ...
...Unlike the other Pokemon games you do not have the option of choosing your starter Pokemon. You will be required to keep a Pikachu Prof. Oak has just caught and keep him happy. Although sounding rather unfair initially, seen as though you may want a Squirtle for instance, it offers a couple advantages. You are able to collect the regular starter Pokemon rather early, once again following the series, but they do tend to be at a much lower level. ...

Review of Pokemon Yellow (Game Boy)

Old, Addictive but still Very Good

Advantages: 151 pokemon to chose from or collect, Long storyline keeping you occupied for a long time :)
Disadvantages: Sound and music is basic, and graphics are square.

...the attraction of levelling my pokemon and defating gym leaders. The grapics isnt too good, but when you got great gameplay and nearly everything is interactive the graphics doesnt ave to be excellent. In my opinion the only thing i do not like is the fight scenes and how the pokemon move rather madly. I have enjoyed hours of gameplay on this and completed it about 6 times never with the same pokemon, got 151 to chose from making there so many paths ...

Review of Pokemon Red (Game Boy)

Iconic Game

Advantages: Captures the animated series, Lots of Pokémon to capture
Disadvantages: Out-dated, Not much to do after completed apart from doing it again

Pokémon Blue was released at the height of the Pokémon phenomenon throughout the world for the original Gameboy handheld console. The game is partly based around the animated series in that you wake-up and are set to begin your adventure as a Pokémon trainer. Your first duty is to go and choose your staring Pokémon from Professor Oak out of the three available; Squirtle – a water-based turtle Pokémon, Charmander – a fire-breathing dragon Pokémon ...
...these you which to use throughout the game, you leave your hometown to begin your life as a Pokémon trainer, you encounter wild Pokémon in rural areas such as long grass and forests which you use you Pokémon to battle, other trainers who pit their selection of Pokémon against yours in battles and Pokémon Gyms which you must face a series of challenging trainers as well as a ‘Gym leader’ trainer you must defeat to receive a badge – of which there ...
