![]() I'm now a hard core Oswald fan thanks to this game. Even the opening took bits from that cartoon! Another thing I love is the old cartoon characters. For example, I remember watching the Mickey cartoon, "Thru the Mirror", on my "Alice in Wonderland" DVD as a kid, and I was so excited to see the cartoon as the Projector Screen to Ostown, the Telephone in Mickey's house, and the Radio in Bog Easy. It took me 24 hours to beat, and I loved every minute of it! One of my favorite things to do in the game was to spot characters, cartoons and items I've seen. A few years past and I used my birthday money to buy a Wii, and one of my friends gave me their copy of Epic Mickey. I'll admit it, I'm a Disney nutball! My bathroom is covered in Mickey Mouse stuff, I've been to Disneyland a dozen times in my childhood, I have too many Disney plushes to count, and I have about 20 of the over 50 animated Disney films on tape! So, when I heard about Epic Mickey I was super excited! Only one problem.I didn't own a Wii. it is held back by a poor camera and poor level design Overall, Epic Mickey is an interesting adventure full of neat little tidbits from Disney's past. I was kind of expecting Mickey to merge with the big bad of the game and become the evil menace to the Wastleland and rule it with an iron fist., or something a bit darker then the same happy ending that happens. it doesn't matter the main ending is still the same. The game promises a moral choice system, you can be evil and erase the baddies and not help people or help people and convert the baddies to goodies. The music feels full and orchestral but there's no stand out tracks ,besides the warped 2D section music. ![]() I fell plenty of times because of the faulty camera. The short 2D sections prove to be tedious, repeative and uninspired platforming while the 3D sections get screwed by a horrible camera which fails to follow you properly and won't shift. While the world of the Wasteland is quite interesting with places like Mickeyjunk Mountain standing out, you feel that the team didn't know how to approach the platforming sections of the game. While I have yet to experience them I don't know much about his previous works, but it one can see that this is his first platformer he's worked on. The game is directed by Warren Spector, the man behind Deus Ex, and a few Ultima games. but the final product is far from wonderful. With the magical paint brush Mickey is able to create and destroy with paint and thinner. Mickey travels around a magical kingdom of forgotten and lost characters and hopes to right his wrongs and escape the ruined world. Epic Mickey takes one of the world's most beloved mascots and places him in a strange decayed and ruined world he help destroy and create.
