It’s pretty great overall, all things considered.Īladdin is a dexterous protagonist, moving at a fast clip and able to navigate the environment with grace. The soundtrack as well features a few original jingles but mostly faithful renditions of the film’s score. Most of the movie’s main events have been recreated and form a complete narrative although the game is short. The land of Agrabah looks fantastic, full of rich background work and a vibrant color palette. The animation is some of their best work on the system, fluid and flows from one movement to the next. That being said Capcom have done an excellent job of capturing some of that magic. That game was the result of a once in a lifetime collaboration between Disney, Virgin, and Sega that produced one of the best looking 16-bit games of all time.

I’ll spare you the suspense and simply say the SNES version does not look as good. Despite that they came through with a brilliant platformer, one that is only let down by its brevity and easy difficult.Ĭomparisons to the Sega version of Aladdin cannot be avoided. I don’t envy Capcom no matter what their work would always be in the shadow of Sega’s game. Living in its shadow would be the Nintendo versions of the game. The Sega Genesis version garnered the most attention, and with good reason. Aladdin also became a gaming event, with titles hitting nearly every available platform. It is easy to see why it boasted a star studded voice cast and exquisite animation, bringing to life that fabled tale like never before.
