Being an avid fan of platformers in general, I was looking forward to playing this but somehow I have mixed feelings of the game - the graphics are very nice and charming, soft and colourful to look at. The music is good, Mickey's voice slightly annoying (I guess they got that right, then). I feel like the pacing of the checkpoints are off, and wouldn't have minded a few more inbetween. Dying at awkward moments and then being put back at the start. It's as if its the game's way of trying to be harder in order to feel like the original; this also goes hand-in-hand with the controls and movements of Mickey himself, where I feel the controls are too loose and a bit floaty. I would have liked if it was a bit tighter; I find myself plumitting to my death when I really shouldn't be, as far as me and platformers are concerned. The animation is nice and fluid. I'm not keen on there being a narrator in the game, and feel like less is more, here; I would prefer it without a story and just let the gameplay and/or text do the talking (like the original). Being in a 2.5D perspective, the game reminds me of Klonoa, which I like very much. I could possibly become more used to the controls and feel of the game, but it's early days yet (I need to play more to have a better judgment of the game). So far from what I've played, I like and for the most part, is a solid game.
