I never saw the Disney cartoon Tarzan, but can assume that it was rather crappy, much like everything else Disney have done in recent years, with the exception of the Lion King. Anyway, the games based on this film are also crappy, no doubt, which is wrong, because Tarzan games could be the best damn games in the world.
To begin with, you ave a wonderful setting, in the jungle, and a pretty non-specific jungle it is too, features animals from the four corners of the globe. Now Tarzan, he was the king of the animals, wouldn't you like to be him in a game? A game in which you can make him say "Ungowa" at the press of a button?
Imagine the vine swinging, in glorious 3D, fast paced, like a modern day 'Jungle Hunt'. Imagine punching a tiger in the face, then wrestling it to the ground for fun. If you were Tarzan, you could do that. And you could ride elephants, and call a gang of monkeys to assist you.
Add to this a loin-cloth designing section, and you could have a fantastic game. Every animal that you can kill, can be used for something, so why not slay your chimp for a stylish monkey-skull cap, and skin a tiger and a leopard for a choice of two different outfits.
A game like this would need a story line, or a goal of some description, but I'd like to think in the spirit of Tarzan it could be kept rather free. Saving varoius explorers from quick-sand, crocodile wrestling to make new shoes, rescuing monkeys from bigger monkeys, and stopping bad men cutting down parts of the jungle.
Tarzan games should rule. They shouldn't be little kiddy games based on rubbishy film versions of classic tales. We want to go "ahhhhhahahaahaaaaah" and pull lions by the mane, and kick rhino's up the bum, because it would be fun.

What the world needs is a Tarzan game where you play a rifle bearing hunter. I would love to have a couple of well aimed shots at the skin wearing fag
Look - Tarzen based goodness.
See the monkey_man reply concerning the elephant, laugh heartily you will.

It could have a sub-game where you have to kick an elephant's face off, like the car sub-game in streetfighter 2.
I have to agree with you on this one. It would be nice to have an orginal tarzan gane rather than disney just trying to make more cash.
