Nighthawk Interactive Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King (PS4)

My daughter is 6 and loves both of these disney films. Growing up I never had a NES so couldn't play these games unless I was at friend's houses. Lots of nostalgic vibes. Initially when the game loads on the Ps4 it looks small in the screen, much like the original resolution of CRT TVs. If you press the touch pad button on the Ps4 controller, a totally different option menu appears. It gives you the option to save the game, change the view and make it full screen and to also adapt the controls (We have changed X to mean jump in Aladdin because it is just how most PS games are so makes gameplay a little easier). For those who are saying that their kids are getting frustrated because it restarts, there is a cheat button. Press and hold L1 and you can rewind your play if you miss a jump or die. Keep in mind that these games were originally very hard, so you wouldn't be able to play and finish them in an hour. My 6 year old has at of fun playing this. For anyone who thinks you have to complete Aladdin before playing The Lion King, that is not true. On the very first screen once you've pressed any key to play, press the right direction button and you can play The Lion King. Unfortunately there are no instructions with this game, so I can see why it's confusing for the player and wanted to share my findings! Otherwise the game is lots of fun to play and actually its great value having both games on the one disc.

Had lion king on Sega megadrive . one of the best games ever made . So glad they brought out the game on a PS4 disk . Loads of bonus material too as well as the Aladdin game . Defo 16 bit classic . Even music from the lion king film in game . If fan of movie must buy . Still enjoying playing Lion king now and I’m 35 .

Great memories from this release glad it finally happened !

Good

These games seemed so much better back in the day! But then guess you didn't know any better! On our 65" TV the actual game play just becomes a square in the middle with more background surrounding it then play area! I also remember why these games lasted forever ...after a few times of losing your life the game would start all over again! Urgh!!! Good for reliving my childhood but not going to be my go to game.

Had both these games for the mega drive and this version does not disappoint. Fantastic ports and I love that you have multiple versions of the games. The graphics are brilliantly updated but still keep the charm of the originals. But they are just as difficult as I remember so I love the rewind button (prince of Persia style) and you it can used even if you die. Yes slightly cheating but kind of required tbh.

Amazing the relive my childhood . Gameplay is as a remember and the rewind feature makes it possible to complete the whole game without becoming stressed out like I was as a child!

Not what we expected at all. Crap graphics, crap gameplay, no instructions

Idea vincente di questo revival di giochi 32bit, e questi 2 sono storici, re leone e aladin 2 classici amatissimi anche nella versione video ludica, consigliato
