This is why I rate Jak and Daxter so highly. Sure, we had to collect 100 or so power cells, but they were a reward for completing a significant platforming challenge,for beating a boss or for figuring out an eco puzzle. They got me to explore the envirionment fully and it kept things fresh and fun. The level design was great and by exploring that level or being good at platforming I got currency to move on in the game.

whoo~!! I started playing this!!
this game reminds me a lot like Deadly Premonition...
a super deep and interesting game that plays like pure jank...
except Deadly Premonition actually plays better than this game since DP didnt have me fussing over the camera so I can carefully jump onto a something.

Just finished up Skull Island. I really enjoyed how the
boss gave you the choice between tackling a platforming section or doing a regular fight.
I remember some pretty bad camera issues in the jungle and Tortooga portions of the stage. I kind of understood in the jungle section I was tackling an optional path backwards, which kinda made up for not seeing the jumps I was making. I was also cool with it since a messed up jump would just land me safely onto some ground. The cases in Tortooga were just awful. I'd jump out to some chests in tiny caverns along the edges of the thinner lake but the camera would not swing back to show me the bridges I jumped from.
Blindly jumping into the camera sucks.

...Maybe I have a different definition of polish than the rest of the world. When I think polish, I think, ideas fully thought through, extra crap that should be removed (big things like Twilight Princess's early game stuff, or smaller ones like Metroid Prime's beam-doors), just... better design choices to make the game flow smoother in general. Following that line of thought, SMG2 would be a polished SMG.

Fuck, I'm starting to feel like a fool for enjoying this, given the increasingly harsh consensus here. Yet I'm sill in line with the review consensus and am hovering around an 8. I mean, Donkey Kong is more widely liked but its ridiculous over-reliance on trial and error is really harming it for me and proving more irritating than anything Epic Mickey (or just about any game in the last 20 years, for that matter) has thrown at me. On the other hand it's a far more polished product mechanically.

They break up shortly afterwards anyway, and you have to get an icecream to cheer her up.
Also one animatronic quest was terrible...
Find Daisy's parts, I missed a Goofy part before that I had to buy so I really wanted to get Daisy complete. I found 3 parts and looked everywhere for about an hour, I give up return to Ventureland and the pirate says: "Oh cool for helping me, here's the last Daisy part" WTF seriously. :lol
I think I'm almost done but I need some help here

I'm in the Castle for the second time, found all the rocket parts and all that shit.
Now I'm in the castle hall with all the paintings and it says that I have to restore the ones that are happy, so I did just that. After that a Gargoyle turns around and now I have to do something, but the game doesn't tell me what. Seriously is this some shit to sell strategy guides or something. :lol

Once you get to Mean Street the game becomes a bit more straight forward.JEKKI said:now I have no idea where Im going
That was a godsend for me. I already had over 1000 e-tickets so I was like "Ah well, I'll just buy it in the shop" and surprise! I didn't have to after all :lol[Nintex] said:
I'm somewhere in the 7-8 range myself. The game has a lot of things I really hate, but the highs are high enough for me to push through that and keep playing. Its honestly the only thing I have desire to play right now, Im currently shelving Shaun White Skateboarding and more damningly Donkey Kong until I'm done with EMTheDrowningMan said:

You have to paint them all, actually, including the big one above the throne. When you do, another gargoyle will appear, and if you move it it'll shoot light that you can bounce around by moving the rest of the gargoyles
Finished and I was surprised at the credits, I don't remember all studio names but these two came up: Avalanche Studios, Virtuos Games among others. It's a good game to be sure and it must've been hell to work around the clock to meet Disney's deadline but I'm not sure if this was the best way to develop a game that mostly depends on creativity.

and man it's like "Hi Mickey! I need something to fix this machine! u can get it from Chun Li!"
u go to Chun Li and she says "oh yeay, I had that thing, but I gave it to Terry Bogard"
so u go to Terry and he's like "yah I got it, but it aint free. I'll trade with u if u bring me Xiaoyu's panties"
and Im like got damn!!!
I'm curious as to what you would replace MP's beam doors with. Not saying the idea is flawless, but how else do you identify to the player where they should be going next aside from making the game a completely linear path? (ie. you get the wave beam, now you can look at your map and go to all the areas with purple doors, there's not really a good alternative to this).AniHawk said:

Really liking this game so far but the camera is shitty.
Anyone else buy the CE guide? I'm not sure why I bought it in the first place. :lol

I'm about an hour in and this game is very boring. Does it ever get better?

This game is SO. WEIRD! It's like a 3/10 game and a 9/10 game made sweet love, and this horrible mutant baby was born. It's hard to love when it's in "Mickey! Find the 3 doohickeys to advance" mode, but then I'm choosing between helping a ghost scare a guy or helping him get his courage back, and the game is really sweet and charming and fun. I find it compellingly schizophrenic. I've never hated a game I liked as much as this one :lol

I finished it this evening, and was pretty touched by the ending. Plus the meat of the endgame featured some pretty great platforming. Outside of one bloody room (

Despite hating the missions I was compelled to keep doing them for stupid reasons like I really enjoy hearing Horace's "Hoohoohoo, HOW-dee" and I'm really glad I did.
As simple as it was, I got chills visiting Walt's Apartment
I played this for a few hours today and my opinion is that the game is downright awful. Of course it's well known that the camera (and camera controls) are on par with that Sonic abortion from 2006, but beyond that the gameplay is repetitive and not fun. Everything outside of the cutscenes reeks of sloppiness. I'm not sure why anyone would defend this title, even for the love of Disney.

Did you play Sonic 06? The camera isn't nearly as bad in this. You also need to realize that just because you don't like the gameplay doesn't mean everyone else will feel the same. The game has flaws to be sure but in my experience so far the good has outweighed the bad.

The love and care put clearly into the story, the world, the themes and the license is now completely buried by everything else. Have been waiting for this game to end for at least three hours now. Biggest disappointment I've played in a long time. It feels like Spector checked out and wished everyone luck after flowcharting the paint/thinner decisions.

And i am guessing that once you determined that a game is bad, it should be the same for everyone else right?seat said:

Why do some people require that you preface every sentence with "In my opinion" ? It seems implicit that any judgment on quality is simply an opinion. And he didn't attack anyone who likes Epic Mickey, he simply said that "from his perspective (implied)" he does not understand why anyone would like the game. All that means is that "in his opinion" the game is flawed enough that it isn't worth defending. It wasn't an attack on people who liked the game, merely a way of expressing his opinion.

I liked the Evil Dead Xbox games somewhat because i liked the Evil Dead franchise and the game wasn't TERRIBLE but it was farrrrrrrrr from a good game. It's okay to like a game that isn't that good but you should accept the fact that it has major problems. It's like saying " well i prefer a game to have a bad framerate, it's fun to see your character pause when lots of enemies come into the screen, makes me feel like i get more time to decide what to do next"

I'll say this, at least--the game makes me want to hunt down a collection of early 20th-century Mickey Mouse cartoons. The unlockable Mickey and Oswald cartoons are treasures.
I was wondering why the "Lonesome Ghosts" transitions seem so familiar to me when I was suddenly hit with an intense wave of nostalgia as I recalled a toy Fisher-Price movie camera I had when I was three or four which let you watch filmstrips through the viewfinder when you turned the crank. The Lonesome Ghosts short was one of the "films" I had. I think I had forgotten that for at least 25 years.
