Epic Mickey is a adventure-platformer starring Disney's beloved Mickey Mouse. It's set in Wasteland, and world where long-forgotten Disney characters reside. You embark on a quest to stop the evil Mad Doctor from destroying Wasteland. As you travel through forgotten Disney worlds playing as Mickey, you wield a magical paintbrush. Pointing the Wii Remote to aim, you press the B button to spray paint, which can restore objects and befriend foes, and press Z to spray thinner, which destroys objects and defeats enemies. To travel from area to area, amusingly, you must leap into a film reel and play through a 2D side-scrolling level based on a classic Disney cartoon, such as Steamboat Willie, the latter of which was even in black-and-white! You will face Disney-themed bosses throughout the game, including the It's a Small World ride from the Disneyland theme park! This is because all of the locales and withered and rotting and flooded with thinner, and everything is possessed-- the game has a rather gothic motif. And it's up to you to repair it all. There are classic Disney characters everywhere with side quests for you to complete, adding a sense of exploration to the game. The constant classic Disney references and the exploration elements work well, but the game features a somewhat klutzy camera and some stretches of the game can be very difficult. But still, Epic Mickey is a great game, and it shouldn't be skipped by any Disney fan.
Ups
Neat paint and thinner system
Classic Disney references
Downs
Klutzy camera
Difficult stretches
