I got this the first day it came out. And I must say, it's definetly worth the wait. You see, this isn't another short Wii platformer, it's much longer and better. Well, where should I start? In the game, you play as Mickey, who gets sucked into a world of forgotten cartoons after ruining it. And the game plays similar to Mario Sunshine, but with more adventure and puzzling pleasures. Also, you travel through various locations resembling famous DisneyLand attractions, such as Tommorow Land, Ventureland, Toontown, etc. My favorite place in the game was Mickeyjunk Mountain, which is where Oswald lives, and it's basically a huge pile of mickey merchandise, forming a mountain. The game also has fun bosses, but some are pretty strage. Such as the first boss, who is the Small World Clock Tower. You are able to go in and out of each area by going into these projector screens, which bring you into these side-scrolling levels based on classic Mickey cartoons. I really liked this idea and enjoy going through the stages. Though, the mirror projector screen is a pain to go through, mainly because you constantly have to use that route to switch between Mean Street, and Ostown,(a Toontown-themed area)which are the places of the game where you constantly have to venture back and fourth. The game doesn't have many problems. But 2 I'd have to complain about:The bad camera, and a few "hard-to-jump on" platforms. But other than that, I found no problems with the game. The combat in the game was fun too, but would get slightly old at times. Thankfully, the combat wasn't overused. You use paint to create, and thinner to destroy. With enemies, to kill them, you use thinner, which is usually what I do. With paint, they'll befriend you, which I don't usually due, since it's not that helpful to me. You can also use paint and thinner to create and destory certain objects. And depending on the actions you choose to do, it can mess with the storyline, and the ending. Pretty clever. Well, overall, Epic Mickey is truely one of the best wii games created, and can be enjoyed by basically everybody.
Disney's Epic Mickey is one of those titles that has been anticipated for so long, it inevitably can't surpass it's own expectations. However through eyes willing to accept it for what it is, there is a fairly long and u... Read Full Review
When Disney announced that they were bringing a Mickey Mouse video game to the Wii I had mixed feelings. All I could see was another kid centric gaming experience that would only play in to the stereotype that has consi... Read Full Review
