Mulan - Game Boy

Disney have done a lot of tie-in video games to coincide with the release of their Hollywood counterparts. Following the success of Disney’s Mulan on the big screen, a video game follow up was inevitable, hence the release of Mulan on GameBoy.

The story line remains faithful to film version, naturally. Mulan is indeed set in Ancient China in a time of war. You must play the part of the Heroine, Mulan where you must learn to jump across treacherous platforms and avoid piercing arrows to reach your final destination. Mulan uses the password method of saving games. While this is perfectly legitimate, it does force you make notes of the passwords when you’re on the move. Also, if you have a SNES, complete with a Super GameBoy adapter, you can play Mulan on a TV, and in colour.

Mulan can be frustrating at times. Such is the difficulty that you may be forced to play the same parts of a level over and over, just because you can’t make the final jump. As annoying as this proves to be, it does offer quite a challenge, thus giving Mulan the longevity it needs.

Mulan is a standard 2D-platform game that doesn’t offer anything special. As a consequence, Mulan on GameBoy is one for the fans of the film.
