Description:
Disney's own street rat, Aladdin, is back in a new adventure, Nasira's Revenge. This 3-D action game is a port from the PlayStation to PC and, mercifully, doesn't require the latest, greatest PC just to play. It seems that even though our heroes vanquished Jafar, his sister, Nasira, (a new character created for the game) has a plan to bring him back from the dead. Together they plot to rule Agrabah. To start the plan off right, Nasira sends her thugs into the palace to kidnap the sultan and Jasmine. Of course, this can't sit well with our hero. You play Aladdin as you travel through nine different environments to rescue your friends. You try to collect coins and red gems, and defeat the many enemies you encounter. The game also throws you a couple of curve balls: some acts let you play as Abu or Jasmine, using their unique abilities to help out. Special Genie coins and red gems scattered about give special tchotchkes at the end of a level. The Genie coins grant you spins on a huge Genie slot machine (most often you get an extra life). If you collect three red gems in an act, you get a bonus round at the end. They can be pretty tough, so practice when you can. Nasira's Revenge has a lot of gameplay variety. There's all the fighting and jumping you'd expect in an action game, but it also has side quests and minigames scattered throughout generously. They're never too hard, but they keep your brain working as well as your fingers. Blazing-fast carpet rides satisfy the twitch gamer, too. In all, there's a little something for nearly every type of gamer. (Ages 8 and older) --Jeff Quick
