It's no secret, that most licenced videogames tend to suck.
But Disney seems to go against this trend.
Welcome to WatchMojo.com and today we will be counting down the top 10 Disney video games.
For this list, we've included any videogame based on an original Disney property.
Be it animated or live action.
What did you do ?!
Number 10 - "Disney's Hercules"
Hercules took all of the best parts of Disney's legendary 16-bit platformers
and expanded on them with the Playstation's improved hardware.
Combining action packed side-scrolling with spectacular graphics and sound
This was one of the first Disney games that felt almost like playing actual animated movie.
The story stays very true to the film.
Following Hercules on his quest to "?" the evil Hades
The game also included some 3D elements enabling Hercules to interact with his environment and move between the fore - and background of the levels.
Number 9 - "Epic Mickey"
I was putting the finishing touches on my latest creation.
A world for things that have been forgotten.
Fans that were grownup with Disney were excited when "Epic Mickey was announced.
Because it promised a darker, more adult adventure starring Disney's most iconic character.
Even more tantalising was the fact that development was headed by Warren Spector.
Who's best known for PC classics like "Ultima" and "Deus Ex".
"Epic Mickey" is an underrated adventure that incorporates complex elements like branching choice-driven narrative
and the ability to manipulate your envionment with Mickey's magical paintbrush
resulting in one of the most creative games on the Wii.
Number 8 "Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers"
Developed by Capcom "Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers" is the perfect example of Disney's sidescrolling.
One of the most awesome things about this game was the 2-player co-op.
A feature that was not widely-available for platforming games of the era.
Chip and Dale are tasked to with rescuing their friend Gadget from the diabolical fatcat.
The graphics and sound were top notch, the gameplay was simple but rewarding and the callenge was just right for kids and adults alike.
Number 7 - "The Lion King"
And never come back - We'll kill you !
The best thing about the Lion King is that it really captures the drama and the spirit of the legendary Disney film.
You must take your place in the circle of life.
At the time when hype for the movie was at fever pitch
it woul've been very easy for Virgin interactive to crank out a sloppy movie port to capitalize on the buzz.
Instead, "The Lion King" is an amazing platformer, filled with memorable sequences, tough gameplay, extremely fun minigame sections and the visual design that stayed impressively true to the movie.
That cliffside battle against Scar is an epic videogame moment.
Number 6 - "Disney Infinity"
When "Disney Infinity" was announced it came under fire for ripping off the popular Scylander's franchise
by combining collectible figurines with a digital gameplay experience.
Fortunately, Disney went above and beyond and delivered on it's loafty goals
Anything's possible here with a spark of imagination !
Though it's hard to defend game's like this for being called cash grabs
Infinity's toybox mode is totally awesome.
What are you doing !?
Whatever it is, it looks fun !
Similar to "Little Big Planet" the toybox allows Disney and now Marvel fans to create their own playable worlds and missions.
Share them with friends and transport you to a time when your imagination was the only limit.
Number 5 - "Tron 2.0"
Thenk goodnes the Zealots are gone.
Oh the horror, the shame, the indignity
With thrilling action sequences, memorable visuals and the creative storyline
the Tron franchise was just begging to be turned into a videogame.
Sure, we got the arcade game that came out the same year but we had to wait until 2003 to have something that really lived up to its source material.
What is your function ?
"Tron 2.0" is a fun, innovative, story driven first person shooter with excelerating shooting sequences and lots of ambience to keep Tron fans fully engaged.
Number 4 - "The Magical Quest : Starring Mickey Mouse"
With Pluto disappearing into the forest during a game of catch
it's up to Mickey to embark on an epic quest to track down his lost friend and "?" the plans of emperor Pete.
A fun and energetic adventure with beautiful, wibrant graphics and satysfying gameplay.
"The Magical Quest" is relatively straight-forward.
However, Mickey's ability to change costumes adds a lot of variety
and some of the boss fights are pretty tough.
The game later got two sequels if you just can't get enough Magical Mickey.
Number 3 - "Disneys Alladin" Genesis Version.
The rivalrly between Genesis and Super Nintendo fans in the early 90's was down right nasty.
"The Alladin" games, which were completely different for each console
only added more fuel to that fire.
Both games are awesome, but we have to give the nod to the Genesis version for it's exciting swordplay elements.
With character animations that were designed by Disney's certified animators
Alladin is an amazingly fun game that feels like a labour of love.
As the second best selling game in Genesis history,
Alladin is a classic that still holds up.
Much like the movie.
Number two - "Duck Tales"
"Duck Tales" is the quintesential Disney adventure often ranking near the top of the best old time NES games.
It puts you in the shoes, or flippers of Scrooge McDuck as he attempts to add to his already staggering wealth.
Capcom was at the top of it's platforming game here as "Duck Tales" borrows elements from games like "Megaman"
While encorporating a classic Disney vibe, thanks to its timeles soundtrack.
The game also got a full remake by Way Forward, who is able to recreate the 80's cartoon feel
with faithfully hand-drawn animation and the former voice cast, reprising their roles more than 20 years after the show when off the air.
Before we unvail our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
Number 1 - " Kingdom Hearts"
You probably saw this one coming.
After all, Square somehow managed to create one of the most beloved action RPG franchises in gaming history
with the unusual combination of characters from Disney and "Final Fantasy".
The environments are spot-on and the combat gameplay is frenetic, fast paced and amazingly satysfying.
With the series finally about to come to a close with "Kingdom Hearts 3"
countless spin-offs later, you can bet your keyblades, the story is going to me insanely complex.
Agree with our list ?
