Disney Epic Mickey: The Power of Illusion

Great old school 2D action game, for veteran gamers this game will take you back to the beautiful 2d scenarios with a mix of 3d graphics, the music is also awesome, nearly a must have 3ds game

En esta nueva aventura 2D, Mickey se incursiona en los mundos de los clásicos de Disney para liberar a los personajes atrapados por la magia de Maléfica. Un lindo crossover de personajes, ideal para chicos. El juego es muy sencillo, es un plataformas 2D y añade la mecánica del pincel de Epic Mickey. Podemos pintar o borrar ciertos objetos para proseguir con el recorrido y obtener ítem ocultos. En general es un buen juego, no es sobresaliente pero entretiene y tiene muy buena apariencia. Gran opción para 3DS.

This is a wonderful looking game with beautiful and fluid sprite animation. The platforming is reminiscent of early Disney platformers such as Castle of Illusion and Duck Tales. The levels are colorful and the with a variety of worlds from various Disney franchises, however, the fetch quests can become tedious after repeating the same level over and over. The game introduces the drawing mechanic but it feels unnecessary despite being on the 3DS as it can detract from the gameplay after needing to erase an obstacle and redraw/recolor it again. It would have been better if it were replaced with a different puzzle mechanic or utilized in a far better and more fluid way that does not feel invasive in the platforming.

+Wonderful Sprite artwork + Interact with Disney Characters ~Generic Platforming - Dialogue is uninspired - Game is too short - Feels unfinished -Game relies on RPG elements to make it harder / easier

I was really disappointed by this one. There is a good game in there somewhere but it's buried under awful required touchscreen segments and poor implementation of movement/combat mechanics. Game developers need to learn that just because you have access to a new tech or control scheme doesn't mean you need to use it. The touchscreen drawing mechanics here take what would otherwise be an "OK" (but not great) platformer and turn it into a tedious chore. Gameplay is stalled every time the game forces you to stop and trace the all too detailed outline of an object on the touch screen to progress. This will happen 4-5 times per level and even more if you intend to use any of your special abilities or try to collect everything in the game. The final "world" also pushes the difficulty through the roof; not because of logical level progression but because the combat mechanics will screw you. To kill enemies you need to stomp on them, often 3-4 times but doing so makes you bounce high into the air. The last world has you working down through platforms with enemies on each layer. Every time you bounce on one you go flying back up multiple layers and have to dodge spikes with each bounce adding to the tedium. Making matters even worse the only reliable way to recover health is to draw a magical chest on the touchscreen. You get health from the chest but not very much and in random quantities. In the later sections of the game I spent upwards of 5 minutes after each combat heavy section drawing the chest over and over just to recover enough health to carry on.
