Swing on vines, scuttle through anthills, and clean up your room with Disney's Classic Action Game Collection. Disney has put games based on their animated movies Tarzan, A Bug's Life, and Toy Story into this set (contains three CD-ROMs). All three selections install separately, are Windows-only, and are your basic "run, jump, throw, find, and get" action games. All three allow players to adjust the difficulty level,and save and load different games. These games really require a joystick or a gamepad to be fully enjoyed, though they can all be played using a keyboard.

Tarzan is the darkest game of the bunch, as well as the best graphically. Drums throb and baboons chatter through 13 levels as Tarzan grows from a boy to a man. In later levels, the player can assume the identities of other characters from the movie. Players swing from vines, use pronghorn antelopes as trampolines, and fly aboard storks. The action is fluid enough that these tasks are a pleasure, though the timing on the vine release does take some getting used to. Tarzan initially dispatches enemies by hurling fruit. Later, knife-and-spear play enter into the game. Disney attempts to counter this violence with fantasy: defeated enemies burst into a cloud of butterflies instead of realistically keeling over.

The weakest game here is the one based on the movie Toy Story. Players assume the identity of the gangly cowboy Woody, rescuing good toys and fighting bad ones in a world that's as flat as an Etch A Sketch drawing. Tasks are assigned on each level by, yes, an Etch A Sketch, which redeems this game somewhat since kids must read directions, then memorize and carry out the orders. But expect frustration when Woody can't accomplish a simple room-cleaning assignment in the allotted time because a chair is in his way and he's designed to need 50 tries to hop onto and over it. The Toy Story game is the one to install if you're tight on disk space, since it only requires 8 MB to run--compare that to Tarzan's requirement of 50 MB and A Bug's Life's 35 MB requirement and it's easy to understand why Toy Story feelsawkward.

The game based on A Bug's Life has some pastoral charm as Flikthe ant trots around a three-dimensional world on a quest that's similar to his silver screen goal of saving the queen. During an animated tutorial, a wise old ant teaches players about throwing fruit, "abdomen bounces," useful berries, transforming seeds, and other arcane facts of ant life necessary to enjoy the 15 levels of this complex game. Optional puzzles and hidden passages allow players to take a break from the task-oriented work of getting through the levels. The only real downside to A Bug's Life is that the point of view, or "camera," has a tendency to swoop and dive to distraction. You'll need to use that camera lock key frequently if you want to survive with your equilibrium intact. (Rated E for Everyone) --Anne Erickson ... Read more

Bad job on a good idea.
Disney software, unlike disney movies, is generally very poor. The ideas for the actual programs are excellent but getting them to work on anything other than ancient pentium based PCs can be a challenge to say the least. This would normally not be a problem if there were any type of software support. There isn't. Zero, Nada, Zilch. You get the idea. You will get messages like incompatable sound or must run in 256 color mode to name just a few. Out of 7 PCs in my home (I build them for a living) I can only get them to run 75% trouble free on one old Celeron 533. So if you're looking for trouble free software for your kids skip the Disney stuff and keep looking.

Welcome to LEGOLAND. But don't relax--you're not visiting this place; you're running it. And if you don't stay on your toes in this blocky little world, you'll have hungry guests, broken-down rides, and bankruptcy to deal with.This game, which requires a Windows operating system, starts with a phone call: "Congratulations, you just got the job as trainee park manager!" Upon reporting to LEGOLAND, you discover that a resident mad scientist recently managed to blow up the whole park. Your job suddenly gets more complicated, as your new boss, park manager Jonathan Ablebody, coaches you on how to put the park back together.

A series of tutorials teach the fundamentals of park management, from landscaping to ride repair. Free play is possible once the tutorials are mastered. The more a player builds, the more troubleshooting is necessary. Build too many rides and an alarm sounds--you'll need to build a power station to keep them all running. If you don't hire enough mechanics, rides break down. Panic and hire too many mechanics and you'll hear a "ka-ching" as your cash reserves are depleted by a bunch of lazy LEGO fix-it folks loafing around the park with nothing to do.

This game is about management, multitasking, and sucking up to the boss. The folks at LEGO Media even created the perfect supervisor. He pleasantly orders players to do difficult tasks while never deigning to lift one of his own little yellow pincers to help out.

Kids who have visited an actual LEGOLAND may enjoy slaving away in this virtual one. One warning: LEGO manages to plug the product with a selection entitled "Watch LEGOLAND Movies." Click on it and you'll end up watching an ad for LEGOLAND theme parks. Evidently the only creatures more ruthless than little plastic managers are the flesh-and-blood ones managing them. (Ages 6 and older) --Anne Erickson ... Read more
