The animations are slightly off, some of the character designs are different, and the level builds don’t look quite the same as in the final version. Playing it feels like a bizzaro world where everything is the same yet different. I think it’s pretty cool they included the demo version in this collection. I enjoyed finding these areas and they definitely add to the games longevity. Each level has lots of hidden areas filled with power-ups, bonus materials, extra lives, and more.
Once I got used to it, I was flying through the streets like a pro. It took me a while to get used to the old play mechanics, so I definitely bit the dust a few times out of the gate. The Final Cut version does look smoother and fixes some of the camera issues, but overall, it’s the same game. It was and still is one of those games that’s simple and simply fun to play. The platforming is well balanced and the pacing is spot on. Finally, there are two handheld versions, which was a nice little bonus to round things out.ĭisney Classic Games: Aladdin is just as challenging as it was oh so many years ago. The Japanese version of the game seems identical to the American version, just with all the writing in Japanese instead of English. The Demo version was an early dev shown off at a trade show in Chicago in 1993. The Final Cut of the game was made especially for this collection, which includes difficulty adjustments, camera refinements, bug fixes, and a few more additions to please fans.
There have been no changes, just an exact port of the original game. The original Sega port is exactly as you remember it from all those years ago. Since the SNES version was developed by a different company, it is not included in this collection. Players get to choose from the original Sega version, the Final Cut Version, a Demo Cut of the game, the Japanese version, and both the regular and color handheld editions. It’s slightly confusing and irrelevant to this review, but I needed to get that out there.ĭisney Classic Games: Aladdin, much to my happiness comes with six versions of the game. The reason for this was that they were developed by two different companies. The Sega version looked better, sounded better, and was simply more enjoyable. They were two completely different games. One of these was the Genesis version of Aladdin.Īladdin for the Genesis was far superior to the SNES version. With that said, there are a few games that I was always jealous of my Sega friends for having. It wasn’t until the Dreamcast that I finally gave the company a chance. All of the future add-ons never helped its case either. To me, the Sega Genesis was an inferior system, muddled by inferior graphics, poor sound, and a terrible pack-in controller. I never had a Genesis and never wanted one.
I have been and always shall be a member of team Nintendo.
Since this collection is comprised of two completely different games, I shall break up this review and discuss each title separately.ĭisney Classic Games: Aladdin What You Get The pair of classics are just as challenging as they were decades ago and can be enjoyed by gamers of all ages. The collection contains several versions of each game, along with a slew of bonus features, and tracks from their respective in-game musical scores. Where to Buy it: Steam and Retailers Everywhereĭisney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King is a nostalgic good time for those who want to relive ‘90s greatness.
