"Disney's The Lion King 1 1/2" for Game Boy Advance
In "Disney's The Lion King 1 1/2" for Game Boy Advance, for kids ages 5 and older, players take on the roles of Timon and Pumbaa, in an action-packed quest to find Hakuna Matata, just as the characters do in the next, upcoming Disney's The Lion King movie. In the game, children enjoy three modes of play. Solo mode lets kids play as either Timon or Pumbaa as they climb vines, play hide and seek and more. In cooperative mode, players alternate between both characters to solve puzzles and complete tasks, from finding their new home to escaping predators. Team mode brings both characters together with Timon riding Pumbaa in rambunctious chase sequences. With more than five chapters, each with five play levels, "Disney's The Lion King 1 1/2" for Game Boy Advance offers plenty of non-stop action. As each chapter is completed, players are awarded special puzzle pieces, which upon collecting all of them, an image of Hakuna Matata is displayed and five additional bonus levels are unlocked. Best of all, kids can enjoy viewing clips from the next Disney's The Lion King movie, which they will find as they progress through game levels.
