Fantasia (Genesis) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

A playthrough of Sega's 1991 Disney-license based platformer for the Sega Genesis, Fantasia.

Played through on the normal difficulty level.

After the smashing success Sega saw with Castle of Illusion, the outlook was quite promising for future Disney titles. So how does this Infogrames-developed effort fare?

Well, it doesn't benefit from the comparison, that's for sure. It looks great - right about on par with Castle of Illusion. It seems like the graphics received the lion's share of the development resources. The music, while it does stay faithful to the classical soundtrack of the Disney movie, sounds pretty rough, and the controls feel like they've been coated in sludge, making the game infuriatingly difficult for no real good reason.

It looks nice, but really, keep to admiring screenshots and videos of it. It's not entirely broken, but the slow controls and wonky hit detection make it a chore to play. I don't want to think about how long I had to play this to get good enough to beat it.
