I'm not much of a dancing guy. As far as I'm concerned, it's just fancy walking. I'm also not a big Disney fan, or at least I haven't been since I was a tyke. To top it all off, I can't stand it when companies re-release their old games on new systems with minimal improvements. By all rights, should downright despise Walt Disney's The Jungle Book Rhythm n' Groove, which is a remake of the Disney themed dancing game for the PS One of the same name. The strange thing is, I kind of like it.

Jungle Book is the story of a little boy who romps around a disease infested jungle in his underwear, but never seems to get sick. Some animals are his friends; while other animals want to snap his neck, carry his lifeless corpse into a tree and feast on his bloody remains.

Mowgli's animal companions like to express their affection for the kid by dancing with him. Mowgli's enemies like to show their desire to suck out his delicious bone marrow.by dancing with him. If that's not the best premise ever for a video game, I don't know what is. Unlike many of those other, less messed up dancing games, Jungle Book follows a story. And what a story it is.

It seems that Shere Kahn, a particularly nasty tiger, has decided that the best place for Mowgli to be is in his digestive tract. Mowgli's mentor, a panther named Bagheera, disagrees and sends the kid off on a long journey to the nearest human village, where he'll be safe. As you might imagine, antics ensue.

Dancing antics. During the game's sadly short story mode, your little Tarzan rip-off will find himself drafted into a dancing elephant army, denying a dancing orangutan the gift of fire, and adopted into a family of dancing vultures with Beatles-esque haircuts. Tell me that that isn't cool! Gameplay If you've ever played any of the Dance Dance Revolutiongames, you know pretty much what to expect from Jungle Book.

Arrows drop from the top of the screen in time with the music, and when they reach the circles at the bottom of the screen, you hit the corresponding direction on your controller. Miss enough times and poor little Mowgli falls over and is presumably eaten by whatever jungle creature he's dancing against at the time - Pretty standard stuff. To mix things up a bit, a series of arrows will sometimes appear in the middle of the screen, and remain there for a few seconds. Dance out this combo successfully, and you'll trigger a special move. These specials perform a variety of functions, from multiplying your points to clearing your side of the screen of arrows.

Since you have to enter them while keeping up with the arrows still dropping, fleetness of foot is a must. That's not to imply that Jungle Book is a difficult game. In fact, it's far and away the easiest dancing game around, obviously a nod to the license's young fan base.

If you're one of those guys who spends all your money at the local arcade doing spin flips off the bar on the back of your favorite DDR machine, you might not find much of a challenge here. For the rest of us, setting the game to the highest of its six difficulty levels should ensure that dancing victories are not guaranteed, at least not at first. After a few times through though, even the 'crazy' difficulty setting can get a little easy. That's when it's time to start singing.
