BEAUTY AND THE BEAST: ROAR OF THE BEAST SEGA GENESIS SG

Roar of the Beast is the second Genesis game based on the animated movie Beauty and the Beast, but this time the player does not control Belle but Beast throughout the game. It is not a sequel to the first game, as both games were released in the same year. This title largely tells the story from Beast's point of view. It starts with Beast living in a castle in the dark woods with his servants (Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts). A powerful storm hits the castle and enchants all the animals around it. Initially, the beast must protect the magic rose against the creatures. Soon Belle and her father Maurice become involved, and eventually the villagers who invade the castle.

The game takes place in Beast's castle and the surrounding woods. Using side-scrolling platforming gameplay, Beast can attack from three different stances (crouching, standing, jumping) and unleash a limited amount of roars that stun enemies for a short time. After the regular levels, a boss sequence follows. There are also a few mini-games where Beast must complete a puzzle and catch rosebuds. Some events are time-limited. The game keeps track of the player's score, based on enemies defeated and treasure collected. There are unlimited sequels and the story is told through static and drawn cutscenes between missions.
