This week I began playing Disney Epic Mickey for the first time. I haven’t made a lot of progress yet, but I am having a good time with the game so far.
I remember this game being hyped up prior to its release due to Warren Spector’s involvement and the whole "play style matters." The concept for the game seemed so ambitious for its time. As I play through the game for a couple of hours, I find it somewhat annoying that the game constantly stops and forces me to chat with these gremlin characters on what I have to do next. As a platformer game, Mickey has a lot of the elements I liked from the N64 era of platformers: environments to explore, and it’s cool being able to interact using paint and thinner.
Mickey's spin attack feels a lot like Mario Galaxy's spin attack, though not quite as responsive as Nintendo's platformer. I've been collecting these e-ticket things, they're all over the place, including barrels that don't break apart after I've retrieved their contents, and at this point I don't know what the e-tickets are for. But we'll see.
The decision to use either thinner or paint at certain locations in order to proceed seems somewhat arbitrary. I understand there are different 'guardians' who will help me depending on how I alter the landscape, but we'll see other consequences my actions will have as I progress through the game.
I've only played one 2-D platformer level, Mickey and the Beanstalk, and it's simple but enjoyable.
I wish this game had an option for the first person view so I can switch to inverted y-axis, that has always been my preference in games.
Right now I'm at Asiaboat Ride. I do love the presentation and look of the game, and Mickey feels pretty responsive. I’m looking forward to seeing more of what this game has to offer. |
