The PSP version DOES have ALL the content added to the GBA version. It however has NONE of the DS version's because that was a full fledged re imagining of the game. Should they have ported that one over too? That would have been nice, yes, but as it stands the PSP version is at least superior to the GBA game. I will agree though that a lot of games tend to go back to square one every time they get remade... That is annoying.
Quote:The Lion King is pretty fun. I originally played it on "easy" mind you, so there's that. Aside from very amazing graphics, it also has amazing sound with music easily recognized straight from the movie. There's even some voices in there. It's about the only non-Capcom Disney tie-in game that's actually worth getting for the SNES.I've rarely managed to get past the ostrich ride in SNES Lion King... that part is just crazy hard! The game as a whole is tough, but that ... GAH!
I did have a Lion King game as a kid, but of course it was the Game Boy version, not the SNES. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, because it was one of the games that told me "you know, licensed games aren't always good...". It didn't completely break me from buying licensed games -- it wasn't terrible -- but it wasn't as good as I was hoping, either. First, it has some really, really frustrating play control that makes jumps and landing on enemies a complete chore at times. You have to jump just right to grab onto platforms or land on enemies without getting hit. Yes, hyena fights are annoying. Oh, and in adult form you have to roar with Select, not the best button layout (but they needed three functions, so I guess they didn't have much choice). However, the game is shorter than the console versions by a good margin, and easier too -- the ostrich ride's not too tough on the GB, for instance. It also simplifies things like the monkey puzzles in that level -- no need to tell those monkeys to flip, the (quite simple, but present) puzzle's gone on the GB.
Also, it has a level-skip cheatcode. Pause and then press BAABAA, presto, you skipped to the next stage! :)
The best thing about GB Lion King is the good graphics and outstanding music, though, for sure. It's clear that more attention went into the visuals and music than in making the game play great. This is somewhat true on the SNES too, but it's even worse on GB.
But that music... man, there isn't much GB music better than The Lion King's main theme.
However, those controls... just watch this, it's like that.

I also have the Game Gear Lion King game. It has some similar levels to the other versions and some that are very different (the first stage is entirely unlike the other versions' first stages, for instance, in level design), and it looks pretty good, but the music's nowhere near as good as the Game Boy version. Also... no continues, no levelskip codes. Three deaths and you're starting the whole (challenging!) game over. I hate that stuff.
As for the SNES version though, I've owned it for some years, but have only managed to get past the ostrich ride a few times, and of course it's got no saving.
