Disneyland Adventures

Nov 9, 2017

With a vast virtual park to explore, loads of beloved characters, and plenty of minigames, Disneyland Adventures is one of the best Disney games out there. Pros: - Explore a vast and largely authentic Disneyland from the comfort of home. - Meet and interact with your favorite Disney characters. - Two-player co-op makes this a perfect family game. Cons: - Loading times are excessive on Xbox One. - The frame rate could be smoother. - The in-game map is slow to load and difficult to use for navigation. Disneyland Adventures costs $29.99 on Xbox One and Windows 10.

Disneyland Adventure is a game, or should I say experience, that I would happily recommend for young kids and Disney Lovers. However, it is a short adventure and the conversion from a Kinect title to a controller based title for certain aspects of this updated title didn't translate well and makes it somewhat mundane at times. Disneyland Adventures is something you want to love, cherish and play over and over again, but unfortunately just doesn't have the staying power that the real Disneyland would obviously have.

Young children are going to find plenty to keep them invested with or without it. It looks lovely and there's lots to do, but it feels a little safe by today's standards.

Disneyland Adventures walks a fine line between triumph and disappointment. The park section is awesome, and even though the target audience means that the quests are easy, you'll still be fascinated at how much there is to do and how the park's magic translates quite well digitally. The minigames are more disappointing, since the regular controller makes some of them more difficult to play, while the appearance of bugs that weren't in the original title is equally disappointing. For a Disney aficionado, this title is still worth checking out if you can get it for cheap.

Disneyland Adventures is a terrible remaster of what should be an enjoyable family game. Running around hugging cartoon characters, taking pictures and grabbing autographs is what everyone would want from a trip to Disneyland, it’s just a shame that this is the kind of trip where you miss your flight, the weather is terrible, and your hotel room is dirty.

To be blunt, at its core it’s still really a game for young children, and much of it is a collectathon where you follow a golden line from mission to mission, but any Disney fan who’s a child at heart will get a kick out of exploring this one and meeting the wide variety of Disney characters wandering around. Splasher The Side Kicks Switch, PS4, Xbox One, Steam (Switch version reviewed) What is it? – A 2D platformer in which your character can interact with any paint that’s splattered onto the stage. Is it any good? – I didn’t really know what to expect with Splasher, but given its pedigree – its creator Romain Claude was a designer at Ubisoft who worked on Rayman Origins and Legends – I was curious. Turns out I was right to be, because Splasher is a fantastic platformer with a brilliant paint mechanic which continually throws up interesting ideas. Your character is nice and sprightly – think the likes of Super Meat Boy or ‘Splosion Man – and controlling him is straightforward enough that you can quickly get used to zipping around the levels, which feels awesome to do. Combine that with its fantastic art style and its silky smooth 60fps frame rate and this is a seriously impressive game that, despite its short length, will have you happily replaying it after the credits roll. Elliot Quest Ansimuz Games Switch, PS4, Xbox One, Steam, Wii U, 3DS (Switch version reviewed) What is it? – A retro style 2D platformer in which a young chap called Elliot must find the cure to his curse before he’s transformed into a demon. Is it any good? – You’d be forgiven for being sick of retro-style 2D Metroidvania indie games by now but, in Elliot Quest’s defence, it was first released three years ago. After making appearances on a bunch of other systems it’s finally made its way to the Switch, and it’s still essentially the same game. This means an action platformer with five dungeons to explore and a bunch of special abilities to find along the way, allowing you to backtrack and reach new areas in that classic Metroidvania style. Chances are you’ve seen this sort of thing before, and it could be argued that there are already better retro-style platformers on the Switch, like Shovel Knight.
