Customer Reviews of Disney's Arcade Frenzy

An Arcade In You Own Home Computer!!!
Do you like Disney's Mulan, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, & Hercules?? Do you like arcades, too?? Well then, this is the game for you. Disney's Arcade Frenzy is one of the many great Disney CD-ROMs. (Of course, all barrels have their bad apples. Uh....so to speak.) Before you start, PLEASE read the program manual about all the controls. Until I did, the games were EXTREMELY CONFUSING. But enough about that. As you begin, the game menu of the CD-ROM will appear. Mushu will greet you and tell you to pick a game. First, there is Rooftop Ruckus. Iago will give you instructions on how to play the game. You need to help Abu the monkey to move around lighting up the buildings that are chosen for every level. But watch out for fireballs, red evil genies, palace guards, & Iago (who can put lights out.) To stop all of the above for about ten seconds, get genie lamps. By the way, to get rid of Iago, jump on him. More information can be found in the "Help" section of the options menu of this game. To access it, simply press the "Esc" button. Also you can save games, play old games, turn audio on and off, and much more. Next, we come to Flying Frenzy. Phil will give you instructions on how to play the game. You need to help Pegasus fly around Mt. Olympus knocking off the evil Titans. To do that, you need to fly around until you come to a Titan. Pegasus will knock it off for you, so don't think you missed something. Be sure to watch out for dragons, Centaurs, Pain & Panic, Minatares, & Medusas. If you catch a Fate, then you earn a lightning blast. If you are ever in a tight spot, you can use that to knock off everything it touches. Fates don't appear very often, so don't waste your lightning blasts. More information about this game can be found in the "Help" section of the options menu. WARNING: This game might be too scary for children five & under. Afterwards, we come to Flounder Quest. Sebastian will greet you and tell you how to play the game. Ursula the sea witch has kidnapped, or should I say "fishnapped" Flounder!!! It's up to you and Sebastian to save him. You need to go through an underwater maze and find him before time runs out. But watch out for bubbles, seaweed, jellyfish, electric eels, sharks, & Ursula's henchfish. Sorry. Nothing like genie lamps or lightning blasts in here. After you've rescued Flounder, and just when you think he is safe, another "fishnapping!!!" More information about this game can be found in the "Help" section of the options menu. Finally, we come to the best of all, MuShoot. Mushu will greet you and tell you how to play the game. You need to help him kick the "honey-buns" of the Huns. Eh, eh, I'm a poet. Any way, you need to try and kill all of the Huns with fireworks & avalanches before they get to the village. But watch out for extra batches of Huns, Shan-U, & as Mushu likes to say "that flying turkey." Nothing special in here either I'm afraid. More Information about this game can be found in the "Help" section of the options menu. To pause any game at any time, press the pause/break button on your keyboard. And, to leave Disney's Arcade Frenzy at any time, press the "Alt" button, and then press the "F4" button on your keyboard while still pressing the "Alt" button. Well that's it. I hope that this review has helped you and encourages you to get this CD-ROM.

Disappointing Disney
Although this game kept my 8 year-old daughter amused for a while, it's too simplistic to be really challenging. There is too much annoying and repetitive chatter from animated characters between levels in some of the games, and overall the games just aren't that interesting.

Good for Younger Children
I found this game to be good for beginners in both arcade games and computer use. Our young daughter (2) found this amusing to watch and play. I like the different levels, although we cannot figure out how to get Sebastian out of the maze in the final level!
