Who would've expected such a great game from this license? Not me, and good thing I got it anyway, because it's a truly great game! In general I'd have to say this game is like Disney's Tarzan on GBC taken to the next level. It even starts out with a georgous FMV just like Tarzan. The graphics in general are just stunning! So lush and full of depth that's it hard to believe it's playing on the GBC screen. You'll have no problem at all believing you are part of Mogli's jungle world. Adding to the effect are the incredible animations of the characters, espicially Mogli himself. I'm reminded of when I first played Aladdin for Genesis. His moves are so smooth and varried. It's like he's really INSIDE your GBC!

The gameplay is really exceptional as well. And thank goodness, because a beautiful game without a strong play factor still makes for an awful game. It's a side scroller for sure, but what makes it stand out is that it's full of little puzzles to figure out along the way. No hopping on enemy heads in this game. Instead you must trick, lure and use yout emimies to help you reach new levels and gain power ups. The levels start off pretty easy as you learn all the techniques Mogli has, but as you progress things get tougher and tougher. Make no mistake this game will get very challenging along the way! I really like not blowing things up and stomping on enimies for a change and using my wits against them. There are boss levels where you have to do more of a battle, but for the most part you are just avoiding or manipulating your enimies. You even have to ride Kaa the snake in one level!

The one real flaw with the game is the music. Not that it's bad, but neither "Bare Necessities" or "I Wann be Like You" are included. How could they do that? These songs are essential for a Jungle Book game. The music included is good though and give it a jungle feel. The game designers make up for the music flaws with appearances of characters from the movie. Baloo, Bagheera, Kaaa, Shere Khan and the elephant patrol are a few of the characters to make appearances.

If you have a Game Boy Advance, this plays beautifully on it in the streached mode as it's much easier to see than on the GBC. In fact, I only play it on the GBA now. No matter the system though, if you're looking for an innovative, beautiful and fun game, look no further. You can't go wrong with Jungle Book!

Awesome

Jungle Book has the most impressive graphics I've seen thus far in all the Game Boy games I've seen. Mind you I'm only the mother of the owners of these games but I've got to tell you...My 6 year son LOVES this game. And he's very good at it. Jungle Book is his favorite animated Disney movie and this takes it one step further. It's also a relief to not see the common "shoot 'em up and die scenes." I highly recommend it.

I puchased this game for my son last Christmas (age5). This is a favorite of his. He gets through the levels pretty easily, with practice. With this game I can expect him to play for a hour but usually longer. This game is age appropriate. The levels teach patience, rembering skills and "How to" solve skills. The graphics are really great and the adventure to the next level is some what repetitious but, he loves this game.
Parents, can feel safe with this non-violent game (bonking monkeys) and the kids will enjoy it.
