Pinocchio is regarded as one of the best animated movies ever made and I sincerely agree for a movie that came out in 1940 it has some of the best art work ever done for a movie. The video game is no different. The game was released in 1996
The game was developed by Virgin Interactive Entertainment who created hand drawn animation for the game and it really shows too. The game's strongest strength is the graphics as mentioned the game was made by Virgin Interactive who worked with Disney animators to bring to life art work made for the video game and it works as the game looks fantastic with the characters looking like they did in the movie as the backgrounds are top notch with special attention to detail allowing the players to appreciate the hard work and the art made for the game. The music has "When you wish upon a star" "Give A Little Whistle" "Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee" "I've Got No Strings" which is good as they play in their right levels and translate very well on the Super Nintendo. Along with original music too such as the escape from pleasure island song that plays out in this game You'll be impress. The controls are easy to work with and during the "I've got no strings" segment the game will show you what to do to make sure you follow the moves as the puppets do
The game does a faithful job following the story of the movie that many knew and love but for telling the story when it needs cutscenes they go to storybook images with a short summary about what's going on in the game. There are also moments that could have made it In the movie
The game play is a platform which those who have played platform game. However the game suffered from insane difficulties even on the easy mode during the later parts of the game. There are moments when enemies will just throw you around like a rag dog and things will come at you when you least except it. Plus if you mess up you will end up starting the level all over again which will test your gaming rage I was close to snapping the controller because of the struggles of the game. The game is a case of putting more time In the graphics but not in the gameplay. This game would only be worth having for fans of the movie or retro games
I give Pinocchio an 7 out of 10.
