The Jungle Book Rhythm n' Groove, known in Europe as The Jungle Book Groove Party is a music video game for the PlayStation and PlayStation 2. Featuring similar gameplay to the Dance Dance Revolution series, the game features characters and songs from Disney's The Jungle Book. The game was packaged with a dance pad and released in Europe on November 17, 2000 and in North America on December 8, 2000.
Gameplay[]
The Jungle Book Rhythm n' Groove loosely follows the story of The Jungle Book film, going through Mowgli's journey to the Man Village and the creatures he encounters along the way. The game is played in the style of Dance Dance Revolution with some differences, and can played with either a standard controller or a dance pad. Arrows come down the top of the screen and the player must step on the corresponding arrow in time to the music. Missing arrows cause the fruit at the top of the screen to turn yellow and disappear, with the game ending if all pieces of fruit are lost. Power-ups can be activated by entering input commands in between arrows. These range from beneficial bonuses, such as point multipliers or automatically clearing arrows, to offensive items that hinder your opponent, such as blocking their view. The story mode takes Mowgli through nine levels, including two boss levels. The game also features a two-player mode allowing two players to battle against each other.
Songs[]
Some songs such as "The Bare Necessities" and "I Wanna Be Like You" are from the original film; new songs were written by Nicolas Maranda, who also arranged all the songs. A cover of "I Wanna Be Like You" performed by Lou Bega can be unlocked by playing through the game.
