The lack of technological innovation is hurting the GC. It shows up especially in this game. The lack of effort can be seen in this game as you will laugh once you figure out that it took longer to go to the store and pick this game up then it did to finish it.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

Okay, it's cool when you ski and bunjee jump. It is the COOLEST when Tarzan gets chomped by an alligator. I bought this game and now I am sorry I did. Look, if you really want to see Tarzan in action, see the movie. Otherwise, you would be much happier getting Super Smash Bros. Regardless of the above, you should not get this game if your age does not range between 4-9.

the truth about this Tarzan...

this game isnt the worst nor the best platform action adventure game ive played for gamecube. there are only a few out right now such as pacman world and donal duck quackers( crash bandicoot clone). i would pic both of those games over this one. the graphics are very cartoony but not to bad. the worst part of the whole game is in level 2 where the monkey falls into the water and you surf some "rad" rapids. you have to listen to rosie odonell the voice of the monkey scream for help the whole level. after that level my hatred for rosie odonnel doubled. for a childrens game this game is actually some what challenging. its not very hard but i think tarzan would be targeted towards younger kids which i think would have a hard time with the game. overall the game is pretty short. but i dont even think its worth buying but maybe a rent. but if you want a good platform get pacman world 2.

Good game with good graphics

Notice the difference between GOOD and GREAT. Anyway,
This Tarzan game is much funner than the original for the N64. Tarzan:Untamed features good graphics that if you put them all together you will think it is another movie, the plot and storyline is good, the boss battles are somewhat fun (all you do is press the buttons shown at the bottom). Think of PaRappa the Rappa mixed with Tarzan and great graphics and they you go. It is fairly easy, it has about 20 or so levels and once you complete the game, you must find 75 reels in each of the levels which are actually easy. I'd buy it for the cheap price of twenty dollars even if I played it before. But higher than that it wouldn't be worth it. It does not feature a multi-player mode. The bungee, surfing and skiing levels are fun, but, it's replay value kind of drops.

GRAPHICS: 5/5
Good graphics

SOUND: 3/3
Not great.

REPLAY VALUE: 3/3
Not too good in this part.

FUN: 4/5
The bungee levels and the surfing levels are great.

Overall, like before, get it for the cheap price. It is not your answer to a heart-pumping adrenaline action game at all, but cheaper is better. I also recommend:

SpyHunter
Super Smash Bros.
Luigi's Mansion
Pikmin
Sonic Adventure 2:Battle

Thanks for reading this review and I hope it helps you.

Excerpts from the full review at Nintendorks:

"Tarzan Untamed, from respected developer Ubi Soft, does a good job of living up to the movie it's based on. It's the only real 'kiddy' Gamecube launch game, and even this title is more mature than you'd expect from Disney. Tarzan Untamed features some standard 3D platforming, but adds levels with extreme-sports style. These sequences imitate the movie's most exciting scenes, where Tarzan's branch-sliding and vine-swinging involve skateboarding and bungie-jumping techniques. This refusal to be generic saves Tarzan Untamed from the unhappy fate of most licensed games: stale gameplay that doesn't even have that much to do with the license. Unfortunately, Tarzan Untamed never succeeds in becoming anything better than merely decent.

Ubi Soft's approach to Tarzan's gameplay is really quite clever, somehow managing to be both innovative and derivative at the same time. If you've played Rayman 2 (and shame on you if you haven't), you've experienced most of the gameplay in Tarzan Untamed. Tarzan's platforming, which involves a lot of downhill sliding, should be immediately familiar. The "extreme" angle has been played up, and Tarzan can even rack up bonus points by pulling various tricks, but Rayman is clearly a bigger influence than Tony Hawk. The waterskiing sequences are another Ubi Soft throwback, with only the bungie jumping bonus stages and the downhill surfing offering divergences from Rayman 2. On one hand, you'd be hard-pressed to pick a better platformer to imitate and the gameplay fits perfectly with the Tarzan license. On the other hand, the game doesn't offer much that's new.

Is Tarzan Untamed fun? Sure, and the varied gameplay keeps things from getting old too quickly. But it's not fun enough to warrant a purchase for most folks, and a gamer strapped for cash might even feel that renting this game would be a waste of money. This is the kind of game that you'd probably never buy, but it's not the worst possible thing you could get as a gift, and you'd probably have a good time playing it with a younger sibling. It's a solid game that shows that licensed games don't have to suck, and that a skilled third-party developer doesn't have to work too hard to make a worthwhile Gamecube title."

Tarzan is both untamed and tamed at the same time.

Tarzan is an okay game but the N64 and Playstation version were much,much better. Tarzan slides onto Gamecube and PS2 but slips and fails but succeds at the same time. Some times, if you grab an enemy with your hands, than you can see your hands go through them. The camera's just as untamed as the game's expectations. If you go left, the camera goes right. The short game plot is not helping either. Here's my advice: Rent it and see if it's good than if you like buy it. But to me, I think it's a rent game only.

Pretty good
