Disney Epic Mickey for Wii Reviews by Gamers

Pros:
- It's Disney. Nobody in this world hates Disney and their characters.

- It felt weird [in an awesome way] to play as Mickey Mouse in this... I wouldn't say entirely kid-oriented setting. The game is more for teenagers and adults who have a soft spot for Mickey as the game does have a more young adult inclination to it.

- Being given the choice to be Mischievous Mickey or Goody Goody Mickey. The game will still follow the basic storyline[I'm around the 60%-70% mark in the game] but you are given choices on how to do missions. A couple of them will give you the option of taking the easy road and doing it the "mean/thinner" way or the good/paint way. Just the fact one can do so with Mickey makes it all the more satisfying.

-A lot of the missions can be done with either paint or thinner.

- [for those who saw old cartoons... even House of Mouse] there are many old faces in here and seeing them in a non goofy [no disney pun intended] manner makes it better for me.

- The story is nothing out of this world, but seeing Mickey talking [well characters grunt and do noises while subtitles appear similar to Banjo Kazooie] and having serious/sad conversations again..... just makes it awesome because it's Mickey. Our childhood Mickey.

-the cutscenes have a beautiful art style.

Cons:
- The camera. Nothing game breaking, but this is where the second joystick would be preferred over the d-pad and wiimote combo.

- the gameplay is nothing awe-strucking. The paint/thinner mechanics are nothing mind blowing. It's just a platformer/adventure game.

- the game's main appeal pre-release [more on the hype in the next point] was the steampunk/dark like Disney locations. It's more of a Tim Burton than a dark. Pretty to look at in a twisted way.

- Some textures and objects are subpar.

- The hype made the reviews lower. people were expecting the second coming of Mickesus.

Overall- 8/10. Definitely worth a play, the pros outweight the cons.

Buy or Rent?- Rent.
