They do so in a way that is not obtrusive to player and does not have you stalling to remember how to control the game. The movement is smooth, and game-play is very enjoyable.Īlso, the developers did a good job of interweaving side-scrolling platform levels into the game. You will no longer find yourself losing at critical points because Mickey does not move or paint in the directions you expect him to. Many of the control issues that plagued the first game have been taken care of in Epic Mickey 2. When you first enter the game you are bombarded with side-quests and story details that are hard to remember and juggle. The story is not linear, even though it seems like it would have been easy enough to make it so. A little bit of “free play” would have made this game perfect. Just as you get into a groove running around Mean Street, you realize that you are stuck having to go back collect an item, or take a picture, or complete a task that you overlooked. The graphics and game-play draw you in and really make you want to play. Unfortunately the story seems to get in the way of the game. You will find yourself cursing the camera as it auto-zooms to awkward angles while you are climbing rock piles or running into rooms. However, Epic Mickey 2 is not without its problems, minor as they are.Īlthough they are rare, there are still some camera issues left over from the first game.

My 13 year-old had this succinct review of his time playing: The art design was really cool and the scenery and backgrounds were really fun to play through and walk around in. But for the first time, Mickey and Oswald will join forces as true partners – Mickey with his magical paint brush that wields paint and thinner, and Oswald with his powerful remote control that allows him to command electricity. Created by industry luminary Warren Spector and Disney Interactive’s Junction Point game development studio, “Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two” returns Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit to Wasteland, an alternate world filled with 80 years of forgotten Disney characters and theme park attractions. If you hadn’t heard about Epic Mickey 2 – here is a synopsis of the game: In “Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two,” gamers will play as Mickey Mouse and for the first time ever, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Walt Disney’s first cartoon star, in an all-new adventure of creativity and discovery. Below are their thoughts, and then head over to read my reaction after playing the Power of Illusion version on Nintendo 3DS back in September.
