Man, Tarzan: Return to the Jungle on GBA takes me back. You start off swinging through those thick vines like it’s nothing, and the controls actually feel pretty smooth—no awkward clunkiness like some platformers from that era. The jungle looks surprisingly vibrant for a handheld game, with these little details like sunlight filtering through the leaves.

At first, I thought it’d just be mindless vine-hopping, but there’s some legit platforming here. You’ll slide down trees, dodge traps, and even fight off leopards with Tarzan’s bare hands. The puzzles aren’t brain-melting, but they keep you from just button-mashing your way through. And yeah, that iconic yell is in there—no way they’d skip that.

If you grew up with the movie or just miss solid GBA action, this one’s a fun throwback. Just watch out for those sudden drops—jungles aren’t forgiving.
