Disneyland Adventures

We could have predicted that Disneyland Adventures would have been a mini-game collection with a multi-million licence fronting the whole charade, but that description alone would discredit the extra miles taken to make the experience comparable to the magic of the real thing. Though not quite the same, there are definitely some memories to be had here.

Despite these shortcomings, the engaging atmosphere and nostalgic elements may appeal to Disney fans, especially when playing with children.
- “I like this game a lot for the atmosphere and the novelty of being immersed in the story the rides are telling rather than a 1 to 1 simulation of the actual ride.”
