Overall, the Disney Classic Games pack has added two games that people of any age will love. With the release of Disney +, you can now watch both of the movies and then play the games, all without leaving your console of choice. This pack is available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch now for the price of $29.99 USD. With the additional features, and the ability to play old games as new, this is a very fair price and it doesn’t break the bank.

Back when I was a kid, it seemed like almost every popular movie had their own licensed game. Most of them were pretty terrible though. There were however, two games that really stood out to me as well done and fun movie based games. Those were Aladdin and The Lion King, both produced by Virgin and Disney Interactive. Now, over twenty-five years later, they are both being ported to the Switch. Does the magic from my youth hold up to today’s standards or does it fall short? Let’s hop onto ...

Replaying Aladdin and The Lion King in 2019 is at once an exciting form of time travel and a frustrating retread through two troubled tie-ins.

Unless you still love playing retro video games today, you’re likely to find playing Aladdin and The Lion King an arduous experience. Even if you loved the games as a kid, they’re unlikely to live up to your memories. Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King is a nicely presented collection with some nice features, but don’t expect to be blown away by the games.

Nowadays, a tie-in game usually alludes to a mediocre experience all round. After years of bad tie-in games based off everything to make its way out of a cinema, it’s hard to imagine that a video game based off a movie could be good. Back in the day though, Disney was pumping out games to tie-in with their most recent motion pictures and for games based off movies they were usually perceived pretty well. Disney’s Aladdin and The Lion King were two of the games that people fond of retro Di...

All in all, you get exactly what you expect with the Disney Classic Games: The Lion King and Aladdin collection. While Aladdin got some nice upgrades and inclusions with the Final Cut version and the demo, The Lion King feels like it got the short end of the stick. If you adore these games and you think you can get your $30 out of it, by all means, go out and pick up a copy. Otherwise, I’m not sure there’s enough here to warrant a pick up by someone who has no idea what they are getting themselves into.
