Great visuals and music, but the game is very difficult in some stages.Yeah, I personally have The Lion King for the Genesis/MegaDrive, and have actually beaten it without a cheat (albeit that took 3 hours, and well, in Easy mode) back in the days- it was one of the few games I could actually complete without cheating, although it took over a year to master. Too bad I've lost my touch- I can't remember the solution to the monkey puzzle in the second stage anymore, which is arguably one of the most difficult part of the game (other difficult parts are the Stampede, the gorilla, and finally Scar). Although my cousin laughed at me because the Genesis/MegaDrive version had crappy music (it lacked the African chanting found in several of the BGMs of the SNES version) while he has the SNES version with it's glorious wavetable SPC700. I say the Genesis version was a victim of lazy porting in the Music department. Sonic 3 shows that it was capable of playing samples in a BGM (see Carnival Night Zone- with a sample from Michael Jackson's Jam)
The Best Medicine > Magic. Because SCIENCE! can prove the former.
