Walt Disney's
Jungle Book is back in a big way. The recently released Jungle Book
2 animated movie recently made its way through theaters (pretty decent,
but mostly a rerun of the popular thirty-year-old original). And on the Game
Boy Advance, Ubi Soft's Disney's The
Jungle Book offers a simple roleplay game for kids that stars the characters
from the movies and serves entertaining puzzles and mini games.
Disney's The Jungle Book for the Game Boy Advance lets players explore worlds as Mowgli and greet familiar characters from the films, pick up fruits and statuettes and collect animal friends. The game features six 3D worlds and 20 levels that include an Indian jungle, a swamp, and King Louie's temple, and serves lots of puzzles and mini-games. In the game, kids will encounter wild creatures, challenge King Louie to a dance contest, take a ride on Baloo's belly, and try to avoid Kaa's hypnotizing gaze.
An Animation Gallery lets players unlock photos of Jungle Book characters and serves special animated sequences from the original film. Overall, Disney's The Jungle Book is simple and obviously geared toward very young children. As such, kids, especially those who love the Jungle Book movies, can find lots to like.
