For Disneyphiles in the target age group, you can't get much better.Love listening to music that goes with all your mood? Tune into the The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride with 8 trending songs that let you enjoy diverse genres of music. While certainly not a big-budget title, you can still see that a lot of effort went into this. You even get an original animation for its intro. Simba's offspring make for pretty good company in this collection. This is the worst of the four, but considering what counts for games in other Disney timewasters like this, it's not that bad. Just be careful not to hit anything, as your animal line will disperse. If you get multiples of the same animal in a row, you get more points. This is essentially Snake as you gather up animals to join your conga line. You have to make your mark - literally - on the dirt paths while avoiding you pig and meercat babysitters. Break the most blocks and sink your own ball in the opponent's goal to earn the highest points. Second best is Paddle Bash, a two-player competitive Breakout style game mixed with Pong. Don't hit Timon or Pumbaa though as that will deduct points. You have to shoot berries at animals as they attempt to steal them for themselves. The best of the bunch is Swampberry Sling, a shooting gallery with some great animation and an interesting number of targets. There are four games with a commedable number of levels each. You can tell how much effort went into some games and not others, but The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride got a better go of it than most, and its entry into the Game Break series is not bad for what it is. Disney's collection of movie-themed mini-games can vary wildy in quality.
