Product Description
George of the Jungle makes your Nintendo Wii laugh-out-loud fun! Following Jay Ward's success with the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon series, he developed George of the Jungle, a spoof on Tarzan. Although only 17 George of the Jungle cartoons were originally created, several episodes were added and remains a Cartoon Network hit among youngsters of all ages. George is so dumb, he thinks his elephant, Shep, is a dog. He doesn't know his mate, Ursula (whom he calls "Fella"), is female. George's articulate ape companion, Ape, often rolls his eyes at the futility of explaining anything to the thick-headed lout. Add a host of other characters, this is some zany receipe for easy-going fun. Now, through the Wii, you can enjoy playing some hilarious misadventures with George of the Jungle.
Swing into the jungle with George of the Jungle. George lives in and protects the jungle of Mbebwe, a wild playground packed with quirky creatures, vicious villains and wacky wilderness adventures. Hang out with his best buddy, an Ape named Ape, his friends Ursula and Magnolia, his faithful dog Shep (actually an elephant) and Tookie Tookie Bird. Laugh your way through an assortment of obstacles while collecting bonus items along the way. Just watch out for that tree!

 Very Good May 4, 2009
I bought this game for my son. Since I gave him the disc I haven't seen him much around. That means he loved it!
Great for a 4 1/2 y/old April 27, 2009
Waaaaay better the Diego Safari.
For a 4.5 y/old, that's a very good game. My son still didn't get to the end of the game because he couldn't knock down the Huge Monkey (Red), but he enjoyed all the way to that point.
Worth buying...
 I am nominating this as worst game of the year. January 26, 2009

I am not quite sure where to begin on just how bad this game is. I am a really big fan of the cartoon but this pathetic excuse for a game really has me wondering just how quickly they put it together.
You can only move left or right. When you lose your lives (bananas), you start the entire game over and that happens quickly and often.
Even the 3 unlockable mini-games are lame versions of Frogger and other old time games.
I got the game because I enjoy the cartoon but this is the worst adaption I have ever seen of a movie/comic/TV show property.
It is too bad Crave Games did such a poor job on this.
On a good note, I just got and love Ben 10: Protector of Earth (D3 Publisher). It does a great job showcasing the show and the characters with unique situations, fun puzzle solving and just a lot of fun to play. When I get done, I will be buying Ben 10 Alien Force here on Amazon.
I also love all the Lego games (Lego Star Wars, Lego Indiana Jones, Lego Batman). You really get your money's worth. Not so with George of the Jungle.
I would recommend staying away from George of the Jungle and anything else that Crave Games ever puts out. I will NEVER buy anything by this publisher again.

The revamped and slightly more interesting animated classic "George of the Jungle", as seen on Cartoon Network, has made it into a brand-new video game.
In this game, you play as the brave, yet bumbling, George as he goes all out in the search for lost pages scattered throughout the jungle. You'll encounter the original characters as seen in the TV series like Ape, Ursula, Magnolia, and Shep. You'll also explore the vast jungles that have been brought to life in this amazing adventure of a game. There are also some cool moves George can execute in order to continue his adventure like the Vine Swing, the Air Stomp, and of course his Jungle Call that summons Tookie Tookie Bird. There are a few traps and obstacles that may get in your way, but that's the fun of the challenge in this game.
Also, look for a few collectible items that may aid in your jungle trek including some things that unlock great mini-games. Plus, keep an eye out for numerous baddies that might hinder your quest badly. Thankfully, you have great attack combos that can defeat them but good.
So this is a pretty good adventure platformer based on the hit show. And keep watching for brand new episodes of George only on Cartoon Network.
