Disney's Aladdin (Game Boy Color) Playthrough - NintendoComplete
128A playthrough of Ubisoft's 2000 Game Boy Color platform game, Disney's Aladdin.
Played on the default settings.
The Game Boy Color Aladdin game, if you couldn't already tell, is an attempt at putting the classic 1993 Sega Genesis title in the palm of your hand. It comes out as a bit of a mixed bag. It obviously has been downgraded for the 8-bit hardware, but the graphics give a reasonable approximation of the gorgeous sprite-work of the original. They're just less fluidly animated and the detail has been lowered considerably, but the elements are all totally recognizable to those that have fond memories of the Genesis and computer games. The sound tries, and does about as well as one would expect. The controls and the mechanics are probably the weakest spot here - the cut frames of animation can make it pretty hard to work out timings so that you don't get hit. The developers at least seemed to be aware of this, since the game is generally a lot less challenging than the original and can be beaten pretty quickly. It also has a few levels missing, which makes it go by even faster.
It's a good effort for the Game Boy Color, but couldn't they have just waited a year to release it on the Game Boy Advance? Still, it's a massive improvement over the terrible NES and Game Boy versions!
