Critic Reviews

85 Electric Playground
Unlike Batman, however, Tarzan has awesome control, good camera angles, and excellent gameplay.
76 Nintendo Power
It’s fun to play through, but I’d like to see a more complex trick system. [Jan 2002, p.130]
70 GameSpy
A good game for kids. Since that's the target for this title, then it gets higher marks than it would otherwise.
64 Nintendojo
Visually, it does Disney's Tarzan justice. Unfortunately, Ubi Soft's final product is simply too short and shallow to justify a purchase for most gamers.
63 IGN
It leaves competent gamers feeling underwhelmed. It is worth a look for the younger crowd, though.
62 GameSpot
Rather short. It only takes a couple of hours to finish the entire quest and a few more after that to collect all the film reels.
60 Yahoo! Games
As a guilty pleasure, Tarzan Untamed is actually addictive and fun with some fantastic graphics and incredible sound effects, but the underlying game is rather weak.
52 TotalGames.net
It is in essence, a very generic experience, which is shallow and unrewarding.
45 GameCube Europe
This game took me less than two hours, as a pose to "Resident Evil’s" 18 hours, first time round.
42 Gaming Age
Although Tarzan looks like a free-roaming 3D platformer in pictures, you actually navigate extremely narrow paths. Sometimes only one exact line will allow you to complete the level.
40 All Game Guide
Mildly entertaining, though often frustrating.
