King of the Apes stars in a Below-Average Game

On my original Playstation, I have several Disney Interactive titles, and all of them turned out to be fairly simple and easy to beat, which I found as a big setback after just buying them! I had Tarzan and it was some-what entertaining, and when I saw this one for the Playstation 2, my first thought was, "Gee, it's probably bigger and better now that it's on PS2!" Well, Tarzan's world in this game is slightly bigger, but overall, it is mostly for smaller kids, 8-11, and the Disney Interactive touch of non-hard video games is still in action with Tarzan: Untamed as it's specimin to prove it.

This time around, the plot is based more around the Tarzan books but uses the Disney movie characters for the playing, like it's brother on PS1. Gameplay is simple and you follow an "invisible" track that always either guides you along or behind, never able to explore the jungle past your "King of the Apes Boundry Fence."

Also, with a unique twist, you can river surf, bungee jump, water ski, vine surf and do various tricks on all of them. I don't like how in today's world, all of those sports just have to have tricks to go along with them. Why not just do these sports and enjoy the ride? Still, it was rather enjoyable to do moves such as reverse sking and hand-sliding.

There are also two modes of gameplay: Story Mode, which is like your typical platformer, and Terk's Challenges, (Terk is a character from the Disney movie Tarzan, for those of you who don't know.) In Terk's Mode, you do Time Attacks, Trick Score Challenges, and Terk's Super Challenge which combines the two, on every level. Most of it was pretty easy, but sometimes the Super Challenges were pretty tough to do.

Anyway, this game is a true Disney Interactive game, with simple gameplay, various perks and still aims for younger Disney Movie fans and "Just-Starting-Out" video game players.

Still, somtimes it's just fun to untame the beast within, and play for old-time's sake as the King of the Apes, Tarzan.

games like this give the ps2 a bad name....

this is an AWFUL game! the graphics are on the level of a Super Nintendo! there is NO exploring, and if I ever hear that over-grown monkey say Tarzan Help! again I'll scream! Tarzan is also very hard to control...you end up just doing the same tasks over and over and you never know where you are because the graphics just repeat (like that matters considering they don't let you go anywhere) I wouldn't even RENT this game it's not worth the 6 bucks.

This game may not be packed with plot, but is fun anyway.

(I would probably really give the game 3 1/2 stars, but it is a 4 rather than just a 3) This game was pretty fun - I was surprised at how cheap it was compared to most Playstation 2 games and this was why I bought it. I had played the Tarzan game for Game Boy Advance (given to me for Christmas) and had a great time with that one. While I think that the GBA version is much better, this one is good for the price you pay. I do think the graphics could use some work, but if you like Mario-Brothers or the P2 Pac-Man games, you'll enjoy this one, and it's especially a good game for children (not too hard and not overly complicated to play). For what I payed I wasn't expecting much and was pleasantly surprised. I don't play P2 games very often and get frusterated when they get so hard that I get stuck, so this one was great for me - just hard enough to enjoy, but not enough to get me too stuck anywhere.

THIS GAME IS INCREDIBLE

WHEN I FIRST PLAYED THIS GAME I WANTED TO GET TO THE BOARD WHEN YOU SURF. I LIKED THE PART WHEN YOU SLIDE INSIDE THE LOG.NOW I KNOW HOW TO GET PAST THE GUY WITH THE GUN,(YOU HAVE TO KILL HIM WITH A SPEAR,OR YOU COULD KEEP PRESSING SQUARE WHEN HE IS FIGHTING WITH YOU).

could be better

The game is pretty good but you do the same things over and over again so it gets boring fast

Good game for younger kids

My son loves this game! Sometimes it has been hard, as a parent, to find a game for a 7 year old that is not filled with loads of violence. It can be repetitive, but for someone my sons age it still presents a challenge for him.

Great game for all ages

I bought this game as a gift for another adult. We have played this game together and it is loads of fun. Pretty challenging, but not too impossible to beat. We don't play video games 24X7, so we have not completed all levels yet. Many levels of play and once you have completed the level you need to go back through it to get items that you missed in order to move on to higher levels. Great for someone looking for adventure with blood and guts.

Lots of fun

This Game is lots of fun. Me and my sisters love playing it. Its not really easy or extremely hard. But it is a challenge and the settings are always cool. The graphics are PERFECT! I cant think of one wrong thing about the game. If your looking for a game to buy this is it!

this game is one of the worst I have ever seen for ps2!
I was extremely disappointed with the graphics! the game
play was awful! I found my self frustrated and annoyed!
the load time was way over limits for such poor graphics
all UBI soft did was take the ps1 game and make it a little
harder. Tarzan untamed is just a platform game I thought
I was back on my old Super Nintendo there is only one path,
one way! everything else is decoration! I myself am a true
Tarzan fan but this is awful! and for 50 bucks its even worse

The Worst Game for PS2

I played this game and I think it's horrible!There is nothing that impressed me. Okay graphics, no fun gameplay, no special music. It is the worst game ever for PS2!
