Quick Look: Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two

Mickey's jump sounds like Liu Kang MK2.

Did Ryan realize that he was already on the other side of the sword bridge?

GB gave the first game 2 stars. That was so out of whack it't laughable. The game had some camera issues but was fine otherwise. So excuse me if I don't give a damn what they thing about this one. Just keep pumping out entertaining videos GB, I learned long LONG ago not to listen to you about games. You are a source of entertainment for me and that's it. If I listened to your reviews I would have missed out on some truly great games over the years.

Good god, man. Do you always act like this when somebody has a differing opinion?

This just looks boring.

"Definitely don't want to go to Rainbow Cabins." - Ryan

700 people can make a terrible mess, truly looks like a PS2 game this. I love mye PS2, even ordered me a new one, but I would never order this game. Enjoy it in solitude, Lucidlife.

This looked 100% un-fun.

Ha, I like that Oswald casually pulls off his own foot and kisses it from time to time.

I was looking forward to this game. But the demo didn't do anything for me. Was really boring and plain looking.

hmmm... remember when Warren Spector used to make GOOD games

epic!

Think I could enjoy watching this over the shoulder of my nephew, mostly for the nostalgia of the franchises though.

Huge Disney fan but the gameplay made this look boring and there wasn't enough nerdy Disney stuff

Is that Cary Elwes voicing a gremlin? Look out Nolan Norh, you may have some competition!

Man, I remember how excited I was when Epic Mickey was initially revealed in Game Informer. Too bad Disney was too chicken shit to allow Spector to truly follow on that premise.

Oswald is such an auntie.

Agreed. I wanted to see weird godless abomination Donald/Goofy monster.

Would beat the pants out of "Heartless" or "Nobodies" any day.

Nobody asked for this again warren, give us another deus ex type game!!!!!

When's the last time Mickey's actually been in a movie?  I'm guessing he's on straight-to-dvd stuff or maybe some TV shows, but is he too high and mighty to actually star in a wide release movie?

The first one was really rough and as such, it was not all that fun to play. It felt like a bad N64 platformer (and this sequel looks to be fitting that same bill).

What a shame.

Night on Bald Mountain scared the fucking shit out of me as a kid.

Guess this is what you get when you make a game around a weak mechanic. The painting/thinning has always looked like an annoying contrivance that adds absolutely nothing to the game. To me it breaks up the pace, preventing the actual game from ever 'flowing' well and doesn't even do anything dramatic from an artistic point of view.

Sounds like Oswald is Disney's Captain Price.

Well, they certainly gave this game an epic mickey...eh, eh...?

But it really is too bad, that this turned out to be just as bad as the first one. I would love too see another classic character getting the American McGee level of treatment. One can hope...

They got a second chance and they still wasted a bunch of potential.

Boring as fuck.

"Yensid, which is Disney backwards; the sorcerer from the Sorcerer's Apprentice, creates this pocket universe for all of the discarded Disney characters to go live."

"Is that -- is that really his name?"

"Yeah."

"That's canon? They didn't make that up for the game?"

"No, that's canon."

"....Disney shit's real stupid."

Priceless.

Sick-ass Recognizer in the background over there.

Game looks like shit. Poor Mickey's gone the way of Sonic :(

Looking at it from a stance of a game made for children, I see the fun that can be had. Looking at it as an adult with knowledge of how the tech should work. Meh.

Wait a minute? Oswald is a Rabbit? Wow, Walt Disney was a terrible artist. I was always a Carl Barks fan when it came to Disney artists.
