Beauty and the Beast

If you've seen the movie, you know this tale is as old as time. After being transformed into a hideous beast by a nasty sorceress, the prince has to find somebody who will love him before his magic rose loses all its petals and... oh, you know the rest. But don't let that trick you into thinking this game is kiddie fare -- it's startlingly entertaining and challenging.

Beauty Calls

As the Beast, you rampage through four chapters of hop- n-swipe action that roughly follow the movie's story line. The Beast must search the castle halls, defend Belle from wolves, and, of course, face a final climactic battle with Gaston, all before time runs out.

In each chapter, the Beast wipes out animated enemies, such as spiders, wolves, and bats, with swipes of his giant claws. He also navigates past enchanted obstacles, including secret passages, moving blocks, spikes, and other standard platform fare. In addition to walk, jump, and swipe moves, the big guy's got a Stomp, Super Stomp, and Roar (the last two damage enemies and sometimes reveal hidden objects).

His sprite is fairly easy to control, though precision jumping is not his forte, especially when he must leap onto tiny bats and quickly vault to higher platforms. Also, watch out for some nasty slowdown when the Beast's trying to throw objects at his enemies.

An Ancient Fable

Although B&B's graphics are not quite as spectacular as those in Sunsoft's Roar of the Beast, the animations and graphics capture the mood and humor of the movie with a lovely flair. Look for special touches like the darkening of rooms in the Castle when the Beast moves too far away from Lumiere.

The sounds are not particularly memorable. The game does contain some of the movie's music, and the Beast roars with appropriate scariness, but the rest of the FX are standard.

A Beauty of a Beast

At the high challenge setting, some areas of this game will cause even advanced gamers to roar with frustration. But there's enough entertainment value to keep you playing. While not as enchanting as Aladdin, B&B has the kind of Disney magic that'll make you want to keep it around your castle. It's a beauty.

Belle is on a quest to find her father, and will stop at nothing to find him. This will take her through forests and the castle, ultimately leading her to unlock the secrets of the west wing.

Along the way, Belle must also solve many puzzles. Figure out the riddles and solve mysteries in order to find her father and unlock the secrets of the enchanted castle. This game is a side-scrolling RPG that will additionally appeal to gamers because of the beautiful story. The characters in this game look just like the animated movie counterparts they are fashioned after.
