The game is a fun ride, and despite the lack of logic, grabs a lot of the flavor of the film -- including it's length. The thirteen or so levels fly by in a heartbeat, and though each one is slightly different than the last, none left a strong enough impression that I felt like re-visiting them. I found myself on the second-to-last level in a little over two hours, and that's with most bonuses
accomplished. Younger players might want to replay levels in order unlock all the bonus games and movie clips, but most gamers will find the prospect of tackling identical levels a little tedious. Still, it's a fast, frenetic piece of gaming that will have you entertained, even if it isn't for more than an afternoon. I hate to say this, but this is really one of those games that will definitely appeal to younger gamers (who it's marketed for) than older brats like me, who've been raised on the classics, but like their action and adventure games dense, fat and full of brainpower.This is one of the better movie-to-game translations to come along in a long while, and for kids obsessed with the ape-man's adventures, this is a perfect addition to their budding game library. For grown-ups though, it feels a bit too small to be an entire meal, but could serve as a nice appetizer. In the end, it feels just like the movie it's based on -- a lot of flash, but not that much depth. The Tarzan Action Game is the same way -- beautiful to look at, fun to play, but not all that new. Fortunately, it gives you enough thrills and spills during it's short set of levels to make the ride almost worthwhile.
Tarzan is basically your chance to get in some Crash Bandicoot/Pandemonium style console thrills on your PC, with enough graphic flair to make you feel guiltless in the process. Levels scroll from left to right in 21/2D, which is used in a fancy enough way that you almost forget that you aren't free roaming. Tarzan can jump, swing, and climb rocks (only in specific areas, of course), and can also use a variety of explosive fruits, as well as a knife. Fruits, if you didn't know, are naturally explosive in the jungles of Africa.The graphics are clean and dense, with flying animals and moving creatures filling in almost every corner of the screen.
Tarzan lacks a bit of detail, but he makes up for it with graceful movement, speed, and a variety of cohorts that more than convince you that he fits just fine in the environment. Branches take Tarzan on winding paths, breaking up the flat context of the levels, and taking advantage of the 3D environments.The game is a fun ride, and despite the lack of logic, grabs a lot of the flavor of the film -- including it's length.
