Talking of gameplay, there's nothing worse than a game that looks fantastic but is about as much fun to play with as a bag of mud. Fear not, Aladdin is brilliantly playable; you have total control over what your character does, and the difficulty curve is set just right. In fact everything in it is just perfect. Well, almost perfect. The sound could have been better but that's a minor quibble. Anyway, at last the Mega Drive has a new platform king. Move over spiky blue one, Aladdin's in town.
Hyper Issue 1 Hyper Issue 1 Mega Drive Andrew Humphreys 94% Younger players will love Aladdin. Older players will love Aladdin.In fact, the world would be a much nicer place if all games were this, dare I say it in a tough, street-cred mag like HYPER, enchanting. Like Sonic, you won't play it forever, but you won't stop loving it.
