Along the way you will solve puzzles, battle enemies, meet and help some long forgotten friends and collect Disney memorabilia (a lot cheaper here than at Disney Land). You control Mickey Mouse (did you think it would be anyone else?) as he makes his way through the Wasteland, attempting to undo the damage done by the Shadow Blot. As the months pass he forgets all about Yen Sid’s workshop and the monster he created, until one faithful day when the Blot returns to take Mickey to the Wasteland, where he soon realises that he is the one who caused all the troubles that have befallen the home of the forgotten and that only he can make things right and defeat the Shadow Blot.Īt its core, Disney Epic Mickey is your standard 3D platformer/action-adventure, in the same vein as Rare classics Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64. Terrified, Mickey runs back to his house. ![]() After the wizard retires for the evening the mischievous mouse does what he does best and causes all sorts of trouble, using Yen Sid’s magic paintbrush to create the Shadow Blot. Our tale begins with Mickey Mouse wandering through a (conveniently placed) magic mirror into the wizard Yen Sid’s (that’s Disney spelled backwards for all you anagram fans out there) work shop, where the man of magic is working on his latest creation, a world for all the forgotten Disney characters. However, the question remains, does Disney Epic Mickey do justice to this mighty mouse and his impressive resume or should this ‘epic’ be banished to the Wasteland? So what does Mickey have that would make him so epic? Well, he’s a classic (I’m talking Great Depression-era classic) character, is one of the most recognizable cartoon characters in the world and has left a great legacy that only Mario can rival. In fact, the past two months have seen not one but two titles branding themselves as ‘epic’ - Kirby’s Epic Yarn and now Disney Epic Mickey. The word ‘epic’ sure has seen resurgence as of late.
