The Jungle Book: Mowgli's Wild Adventure

A platform caper straight out of the big book! Everyone remembers The Jungle Book, don't they? It contains some of best tunes, the best characters and rightly deserves to be a cartoon classic! Those famous characters from the pen of Rudyard Kipling have been everything from cuddly toys to interesting kitchenware items. Now the little lad and his friends are appearing on the Game Boy Color in Mowgli's Wild Adventure.

King Of The Swingers

This incarnation of The Jungle Book is very loosely based on the actual film, but in actual fact it plays like a whole new adventure. By wandering through the jungle and taking advice from Bagheera or Baloo, you must avoid jumps and climbs around a maze-like environment, searching for a way out. What makes this game slightly different from some other platformers is that as the little lad progresses from level to level, he picks up special skills that he can use to move on.

Mowgli can also take his new skills back to search levels which had areas that he couldn't reach before. This, however, does create one of the flaws of the game. To get past a certain number of stages you need to collect some tokens, featuring either Baloo or Bagheera. Some of these are very tricky to find and can potentially mean that you have to search the same level over and over to find them! Although this adds more to the longevity to the game it also becomes annoying when you just want to move on to the next challenge.

The Jungle Book: Mowgli's Wild Adventure is a platform adventure with Mowgli, the hero of the famous book and Disney animated film. Explore the jungle together with a human child, raised by fate by a wolf pack. Boldly go to new levels and meet Mowgli's famous friends: Bagheera, Baloo. But the jungle is always unsafe for people.
