The lion King on snes is a nostalgia trip for me. The sprite work for simba and the enemies are great and the level areas at the start of the game are done well and the soundtrack adaptations for Can't wait to be king & and be prepared are dang catchy. The game looks good, sounds good, but plays horrible.

The level Can't wait to be king still gives me stress when i see it and that's the second level of the game. trying to aim Simba to grab the hippos tails is almost impossible, you either miss it or get the first one and miss the second. The riding on the bird part of the level is also a nightmare. even after all that and when simba grows up the hit box for attacking enemies is annoying. standing to close to the enemy and you'll miss every hit and the enemies of this game don't go down easily.

The lion king may look great but the unfair level designs and poor hit detection is not worth it. probably best to watch the animated movie.
