If you follow the gaming media at all, you've probably seen Epic Mickey's dismal Metascore rating. While I personally enjoyed the game, I have to admit, I'm surprised the score is even as high as it is. The main issues that plagued the game didn't come from a lack of conceptual prowess - otherwise no one would have been excited in the first place. They came from a disappointingly lackluster execution that wound up feeling anything but epic. Where did the game go wrong, exactly?
Mickey Mouse has been the star of some amazing retro Disney games, including Castle of Illusion.
Priced at £50/$60
I never played the first game but I enjoyed Epic Mickey 2 wish they were also porting the second game.
That's the problem right there. If it's a good game but it doesn't push the numbers they want they scrap the sequel if there is one. Just look at Dead Space 2 getting scrapped because Dead Space 1 being a great game did not meet the numbers.
i liked the second one quite abit, but im glad they are remastering the first one
Despite Walt Disney's mixed history with video games, these games embody the magic of Disney the best.
When you think of Disney and video games, the first image that comes to your head could be a variety of things. Perhaps it's Kingdom Hearts, which remains one of the best Square Enix games due in little part to Disney’s influence.
Otherwise, it could be a classic game, since Disney has been mostly absent from the gaming world lately, save for some mobile ventures. Whether it be a nostalgic adventure with classic characters or a movie tie-in that makes an impression, let’s dust off Disney’s videogame legacy and find those quality standouts.
listen .. Donald Duck in Maui Mallard
and World of illusion are the best disney games.
Disney failed in my eyes the second the cancelled Pirate of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned, at the very last minute, and decided to replace it with a Lego-Game movie tie-in.
The funny thing is it`s probably not a bad game. I`ll try it when it comes out on the PS3 for the Move. Reviews are alot of the time completely inaccurate when taking into consideration WHO will be playing the game......look at The Fight.
Only gaming journalism would regard 73% as "dismal".
To be honest, i'm playing this game now and haven't experienced any of the so called "awfulness" everyone seems to be obsessed with. Camera hasn't given me any more issues then mario galaxy did and the pointer controls are dead on, like they always have been for me. Sidescrolling levels can be cumbersome... But the storytelling is undeniably awesome and the sheer level of detail and thought that went into this title is amazing.
The more i play this the more i feel this is a wii game victim of the wii hate phenomena where games will be brought down 1 or 2 points for no reason other then it's on the wii and some in the game media still refuse to look at wii games based on the systems merits. Rather they base their review based on the expectations made from the HD systems, which just is an easy way to keep wii haters from raging on your site.
Right now i think the best review i've read on this game is the one on gamesradar and x-play. it's a AAA title. Don't listen to all these haters rating it down when a straight port with an hd re-skin would probably suddenly merit a 8-9 score like it deserves.
It's why review scores are bull these days. Seriously, I have had next to no trouble with this camera or pointer controls. It's possible one reviewer said it then they were so hard up to find fault in a wii game that they all pounced on the bandwagon.
Thankfully the sales say this game is doin pretty good, and is currently a success on the wii. So now the scores don't matter, the consumer has spoken.
The pirates out there are enjoying it, you know...
