Oh! I didn’t know about that…

Great job!

I just got my copy of the game from Game Stop today, and I’m really enjoying it. When I went to pick up the game at Game Stop, the cashier said “It’s a good thing you pre-ordered it, because we’re sold out unless you pre-ordered it.” I got lucky!

I was looking forward to this game until I read the reviews. Here’s something I don’t understand. I’ve never heard of Warren Spector until the hype for Epic Mickey started to rev up this year. Every interview, or piece written on him, was full of stuff rhapsodizing about him and his past work. And to hear him talk, you would think he would have a full grasp on what makes a game successful. Most of his past games are considered some of the best of all time. I’ve never played any of them, but that seems to be the general consensus. So what I want to know is, why is it that Epic Mickey has messed up camera, controls and fighting mechanics? When your making a platform game, those are things you don’t screw up! It was kind of heartbreaking to read. I thought the game was in excellent hands. Was he spending to much time making sure EVERYTHING in the game was Disney related (he told somebody on his team to find a Disney barrel, after he presented him a drawing of a cool barrell he had draw), that he forgot about some of the rudimentary things that makes a platform successful? The one thing that makes me want to check this game out is that John Lasseter help with the story. And the one thing that people seem to agree on, is that it’s a very good story worthy of a Pixar film. But I can’t get past what’s wrong with it. I can forgive tedious combat, some boring levels and backtracking. But I can’t forgive when it comes to bad controls, camera and fighting mechanics.

I have actually seen some walkthroughs of this game… and yet I still don’t think I really want it. I mean, everything from the story to the game design really interests me, but it looks too… time-consuming for me. I’m not a big fan of exploration games, so that’s probably why.

Other than that, it looks really good. I am very proud of them for having the gut to make such a dark game for Mickey. He deserves it. :slight_smile:

… Although, I might end up changing my mind if I ever have the chance to play it. :stuck_out_tongue:
