Disney's Tarzan (PS1) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Back in 1999, Disney Interactive presented us with the opportunity to explore the jungle as the eponymous vine-swinging, tree-surfing, lemon-wielding Tarzan! Along with his friends Terk and Tantor (who presumably also speaks gorilla), Tarzan is faced with some of his most threatening enemies yet – including Sabor the leopard, Brian Blessed, and some adorable monkeys for some reason. Often cited as a PlayStation classic, does Tarzan’s jungle journey stand the test of time?

In some ways, yes. In fact, it follows the events of the movie surprisingly well, and while sometimes the controls can be a little stilted, on the whole it’s very smooth. It’s refreshing to play as the other characters besides Tarzan himself too, even if the gameplay isn’t all that innovative. All in all, it’s a swinging success!

Madagascar (PS2) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Thanks to Amzy Yzma for the request! You've struck lucky as I was intending to cover this game anyway, meaning you have another request on the way soon-ish. Apologies to anyone if I haven't covered your requests yet - I've more reviews on the way, some of which are requests and others are just regular planned videos. If you like what you see, I'd be very grateful if you'd support me on Patreon (see links below). So anyway, let's talk about the game!

 Ever wanted the chance to play alongside some of your favourite characters from DreamWorks' Madagascar? As well as some other characters who weren't in the movie that you never wanted to meet at all? Well, do I have the game for you!

In 2005, Activision presented us with Madagascar for the PS2, and it most definitely is a wild ride! Taking control of a lion, a hippo, a surprisingly dexterous zebra, and a flying giraffe (yes, you read that correctly), this game loosely follows the plot of the hit DreamWorks animated movie! And when I say loosely, I mean very loosely. Featuring such memorable characters as 'Morris' the albino croc, Wilbur the pervy pig, and Big Louie. Yeah. You remember Big Louie. You know... that guy.

Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy! I really enjoyed making this one - apologies for the length, but I wanted to squeeze as much out of this game as I possibly could, and there was SO much to discuss.

Chicken Little (PS2) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Thanks to Jacob Lippincott for the request! I hope I did the game justice. I also have this nagging feeling someone requested this a while ago but I apparently never made a note of it, which is very unlike me, so apologies if you did and I didn't credit you for the request! I scoured my comments and messages but to no avail - sorry! :( I feel shame.

Also, I rarely plug this, but if you would like to support this channel, please feel free to check out my Patreon: patreon.com/idonthaveanose

This month I'm taking a look at a game based on one of Disney's few stinkers - Chicken Little. It looks good from a distance, but sadly this game is no spring chicken.

In fact, it's pretty damn difficult! The controls are awkward and while the level design is fairly neat at times, it becomes a little repetitive towards the end. That said, it's not the worst movie tie-in, and is nonetheless enjoyable on the whole. Will it prove to be a good egg? I don't have high hopes.

Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf (PS1) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Who else has always wanted the chance to play as Wile E Coyote? Well, you can't. But you CAN play as his cousin, the so-not-similar-looking Ralph Wolf, in Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf - also known as Sheep Raider in some regions. And boy, am I surprised at its shear difficulty (get it?)!

This game is extremely challenging, and sees you having to actually THINK like a cartoon character, the goal simply being to steal all the sheep from Sam Sheepdog's flock without getting caught. Bizarrely, this game is seldom talked about, which is a shame considering how well-made it is. Indeed, amid the other standard cartoon action platformers, this game stands alone - you might say it's something of a black sheep itself.

Thanks to Robocop for the request! I hope I did the game justice and that you enjoyed!

The Incredibles (PS2) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Back in 2004, Disney Interactive presented us with the opportunity to play as our favourite Incredible family. But is it as incredible as we all hoped?

Well, for the most part, the game is pretty interesting, and as far as movie-based games go, it’s not bad at all! The ability to play as four members of the Parr family really helps keep the momentum going, although one or two flaws sadly make the overall experience feel somewhat less-than-super.

Thanks for watching! If you like what you see, remember to like and subscribe, and if you’d like to support me on Patreon, that would be much appreciated!

Disney's Action Game Featuring Hercules (PS1) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

By the gods! Could it be? Another video review! Indeed it is! This month, we take a look at Disney’s elaborately titled Action Game Featuring Hercules. Released in 1997, this game is commendable for its visual design more than anything, in that it REALLY does look like the movie. Sadly, it obviously doesn’t bear the same godlike strength as it did in the late 90s, but does this offering still hold up?

Absolutely not. It’s entertaining as a nostalgic diversion, and some levels are admittedly well-made. Most of the items are hidden rather well, and there is some challenge to it. But ultimately, Hercules ain’t the impressive muscleman we all fondly remember. It’s a decent enough movie tie-in for its age, but this game is hardly a gift from the gods!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my subscribblers! Please remember to give me a like on Facebook, and if you really like my videos, why not become a patron too? I aim to make one video a month, although due to other commitments, there are times this may not be possible (I will try to let you know in advance, however). Links can be found below. Thanks for all your support and I’ll be back in the New Year! It’s been a real slice!
