Released for the Game Boy Advance in 2003, Disney's Aladdin is a platformer developed by Disney Interactive and published by Capcom. Depending on the region, you may also know it as Aladdin. This GBA release is a port or adaptation of a game that first appeared in 1993.

It landed about 2 years into the GBA's life. Other notable GBA releases from 2003 include Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Sonic Battle.

It is part of the Disney series; on the GBA you can also try Meet the Robinsons, Disney's American Dragon: Jake Long - Rise of the Huntsclan! and Finding Nemo: The Continuing Adventures. The series also appears on other systems with DuckTales (NES) and DuckTales (Game Boy). Disney Interactive also made Bratz: The Movie for the GBA.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Pick it if…

  • you want to run, jump and explore
  • you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
  • you've played the GBA hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Disney's Aladdin is like

Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.

Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
