Game Boy Advance Critic Reviews

It never gets quite as fun or inventive as any of the Mario or Rayman platform games, but Tarzan: Return to the Jungle holds its own surprisingly well, and is a must-have for fans of its GBC predecessor.

A fun, short romp, but it's ultimately a very short adventure without any real effort made to give gamers any incentive to keep playing after the game's over.

It doesn’t take full advantage of the GBA capabilities, but still has some charm and is enjoyable and challenging.

If there was one thing about this game that would make you stay away from it, it would have to be the title’s replay value. That is to say, there really isn’t any.

On the whole, the game is simply a platformer with nothing much to distinguish it other than Tarzan's ability to tree surf.

The game is somewhat short however, and there are some frustratingly cheap places for the monkey king to blow it. Which, in turn, blows some of the games potential replay value.

A dull, badly animated waste of money.
