Imprecise controls and an awful camera
Repetitive and frustrating combat
Tedious objectives lack originality
Little direction throughout the adventure
Repeatedly replaying boring levels isn't fun.
Horrendous camera control spoils much of the fun.
In-game camera is a fearsome foe and side-scrolling levels feel pretty pointless. Sometime paint/thinner doesn’t go where you want it to. Quests can expire if you leave an area where they were in. You can’t chose when to save. Only one “main” ending

Monotonous gameplay, a wonky and frustrating camera, and an underdeveloped campaign strip this otherwise creative and conceptually sound adventure of its "epic" status...
Abstract: Epic Mickey When I first heard about this game, I was a little apprehensive and in the past, there have been a few Disney games that have really missed the mark. However in 2010, something changed and all the Disney games have actually been relatively ...
Abstract: It turns out Mickey Mouse is a bit of a klutz. Lured through a magic mirror by mischievous forces unknown, he witnesses Yen Sid (the Sorcerer from classic Disney film Fantasia) creating a model magical world using enchanted paint and thinner (the ‘turp...
Just about salvaged by a handful of standout moments, that Disney charm and a genuinely brilliant premise, Disney Epic Mickey is far from a disaster – it’s just another mediocre platform game with the audacity to single-mindedly target the very format ...
Abstract: Published November 25th 2010. Written by Chris Hallam. Once upon a time, in a land far far away, Yen Sid the sorcerer (from the Sorcerers Apprentice portion in the Disney Fantasia film) creates a small model of a place he calls the Cartoon Wasteland. T...
