A warm welcome to the first episode of my request series - this week I take a look at the PlayStation movie tie-in, Disney's The Emperor's New Groove! Thanks to IñšañêTîkīGúÿ 7 for the request – I just hope I’ve done the game justice!

The Emperor’s New Groove has always stood out as one of Disney’s more diverse attempts to buck the trend and deliver a flat-out animated comedy as opposed to the classy, sentimentally driven flicks with which they’re most often associated. Whether it’s to your tastes or not, one must concede that it is one of Disney’s most diverse and underappreciated animated movies to ever grace the silver screen. But does the tie-in videogame for the PS1 maintain the movie’s quirkiness and fast-paced humour?

Well… the short answer is ‘sort of’. It certainly makes a number of admirable attempts to remain in-keeping with the spirit of the movie, even if the voice acting is a little hit-and-miss, and some of the attempts at humour are a wee bit too surreal. Regardless, the gameplay is pretty solid, despite some minor issues involving platforming and combat. And there’s just about enough to maintain your interest, with an array of, erm… ‘interesting’ characters who help you on your journey, including a man dressed as a bird who believes he can fly but can’t, and a naked man who has his underwear snatched by peacocks – who incidentally *can* fly. Oh but I’m fairly certain the writers of this undiscovered masterpiece were higher than the two of these guys will ever be!
