Visually okay but incredibly shallow and stilted. The game captures nine levels across two movies, but none of them are particularly difficult to reach the end with. Harder difficulty levels require the player to collect enough tokens to continue, and many are encased in these tiny enemies that could be easily confused for the background. Jumping has this strange momentum, rolling deals half damage and generally puts you dangerously close towards ledges, and Simba has a roar that's so short range you can barely get it to function. The worst part is that the game says you've only played 33% of it once reaching the credits, thus asking you to play the exact game again on other difficulty levels (the only difference is that coin requirement and fewer bonus lives, otherwise it's exactly the same). There's a few bonus games but they're rather simplistic. The original music is also very repetitive and reused for almost every level in the game. It's a footnote release, nothing special, and not worth checking out.
