This was one of the few games on the Nintendo Wii, at the time of its release that I wanted to play because I loved the idea of what Disney games was bringing to the story, but more importantly it was the first time, I ever learned the story of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Epic Mickey at the time of its release was one of those games where you take the idea of a Mickey Mouse story where he's mysteriously sucked into a world of lost creations and forgotten worlds. Though this game itself was a long and forgotten game it suddenly resurfaced into the PlayStation hands as well as Xbox hands and improved the gameplay a bit. And so, when I heard they were re-releasing the game I figured why not go back and finish what I started.
This beautiful remake sends Mickey into a fantastic world where you use paint and thinner to shape your adventure and the fate of this alternate world. Every stroke of your brush matters!
It's true in case anyone who isn't familiar with Walt Disney himself, was that his first creation was Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, long before he became infamous with Mickey Mouse. During his career his creation of Oswald became lost through copyrights by the time he formed his own company and created the legendary Mickey Mouse. In 2003, Disney's video game company had the idea of Mickey and Oswald meeting together for the first time unfortunately at the time it couldn't work all because Oswald was owned by NBC, for which leads us to the greatest non-sports trade in television history, ABC (Disney's broadcast station) traded Al Michaels (who wanted a change as well as, felt the interest to work at NBC) to NBC and Disney would retain the rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Now I don't always calm myself to always have the greatest memory, especially at times remembering my childhood, but twenty years ago I had a good memory of going to Disneyland for the first time for which I most certainly enjoyed as well as having a great time. Then upon Epic Mickey's release I was told that they used forgotten creations as well as rides from past Disneyland rides, and at the time that part fascinated me. So, during the games release my parents bought a Nintendo Wii mainly because of some of the interactive exercise games they were developing, which of course I was using a lot mainly because I was still fat and wanted to get in shape. As for purchasing the game, moreover, playing the game, I'll admit it wasn't like any games that I can continue playing again mainly because I wasn't all used to using the Wii controllers, where you can wave it around as a wand or just point the stick to a different part of the screen. Now, playing the game on PlayStation I have to admit that it makes the gameplay simple but more importantly gives a new aspect of making choices, and the Wii has been decommissioned for a long time but I think the problem was games through the course of the Wii's run became way to complicated, for which I believe was the true problem as to why it didn't last unless other gamers still play on the Wii as well as taken care of it. I will later talk about the choice you make in life with another game later on, but with this game, yeah you have a choice to paint these characters to be good or thin them to be evil or destroy them and I can imagine that at a young age I would always make the bad choices, maybe not but with playing the game now I would always make the choice of being good and I think it's just because I was raised by good people, I don't know what it is, but maybe it's because of human nature and even when you finish the game you have those endings where you didn't finish the side quests and some of the characters look miserable, and this was because I made a search on YouTube, and yet again this was one of those things where, when it comes to a Disney movie or game I absolutely didn't want to be an a**hole so, of course I had to make the choice of having a good ending, though I forgot one side quest. As a kid growing up with some nostalgia cartoons especially Disney cartoons, this was most certainly the Disney game worth playing from start to finish and underappreciative Disney game of all time. Moreover I actually had a blast replaying the game even though this was a remake but then again this was trying to go back to a game and finish what I was trying to start with other games I tend to just throw away and forget but with this one, this was one of those games that I had to come back to and re-finish as well as feel closure in at least beating the game. So, now that I finished the game months ago, I would most certainly recommend playing the game to all those Disney fans who love everything Disney but more importantly love the games as well.
