I've been spending a lot of time with this game since its launch and have been enjoying it immensely. A few points on the game:1. This, like the previous Epic Mickey game, is a treasure trove for any big fan of Disney. The characters and settings are full of familiar favorites as well as good deal of little-known history.2. Oswald the Lucky Rabbit serves as Mickey's ever-present partner this time around. Another player can jump in and control him, and if only one player is playing, he is controlled by the computer.3. The decisions you make and the way you play the game do have an effect on the game world this time. For instance, if you're abusive to the characters by jumping on their heads too much, they will act more apprehensive toward you as a result.4. Another feature which I think makes this a great game for younger kids is that "combat" is few and far between, and confrontations can be resolved without violence. For instance, Mickey paints characters with his brush to make them friendly, or uses it to merely thin them away.5. The two character gameplay also places a focus on collaboration. Both the characters' abilities are necessary to advance in the game.6. There are a couple of neat peripherals available for the Wii version of the game: PDP Epic Mickey 2 Mickey's Paintbrush for Wii and PDP Epic Mickey 2 Oswald's Clicker for Wii.Overall, a fun game with some nice elements for young players.

In terms of what's there, this game is pretty good. I didn't find the camera or AI issues quite as troublesome as some, though getting individual quests or tasks to advance can be absurdly finicky at times. But, now that Junction Point is shuttered, ex-staffers are confirming that Epic Mickey 2 is unfinished: that they experienced a mad crunch as the deadline approached, and roughly half of the planned game was jettisoned while a crude, slapped-together ending was quickly substituted in its place. If anyone is wondering why they are still wandering around the game after the final boss fight, why there are so many weird unresolved plot threads, why there are weird false starts and mixed messages after the final credits roll, and why there is no closure at all, this is why. The original took around 10-12 hours of gameplay to finish, this one can be done in under three. It's not just a poor or unsatisfying game, its a game that is incomplete, missing a huge chunk of its gameplay.

First, let me say that this game was fun while it lasted. The voice acting is a very nice touch, the locations visited are wonderfully chosen and artistically designed and side quests abound. That said, after completing the main story line I feel as though I've played through the first half of a great game, despite a few glitches and those deadly camera angles.My wife and I loved the first Epic Mickey game. We've both played through it multiple times, loving the challenge, the Disneyness and the unique game mechanics. For me, the best part was the ending. The number of times you think you've won only to have another, bigger challenge thrust upon you was exhilarating.Which is precisely why I find Epic Mickey 2 less satisfying. Between a lousy final boss whose best weapon is the camera (not to mention a glitch that made him sink into the floor and never return, leaving Oswald and Mickey alone to commit seppuku and start the battle over)and a final level which pales in comparison to any of the final 3 levels of the first game in terms of depth and challenge, the conclusion really doesn't measure up to the pattern established by the first.Also, a few words need to be said about Oswald's AI versus playing two-player. Most of the time, the game is much easier and more fun with two players because Oswald's AI is often terrible. At least twice in every level (and generally at least once in every side quest), I found myself asking my wife to put the baby down for a minute to help me or, when she was unavailable, trying to manipulate two controllers simultaneously because I just couldn't get Oswald to get his rear in gear to do something obvious. He has the ability to revive you with his remote but he almost never does except during boss fights and only sporadically at that. If you're having a hard time getting through a level or reaching a bonus item on a ledge, call a buddy to take over for the virtually useless Oswald AI.On the other hand, if you're having trouble with a boss fight and you're playing 2-player, you should probably let the second player take a break. During boss fights, computer-controlled Oswald can do things which are impossible for a player to do, such as targeting something when he has no line of sight to it. Other than the last one (and that one only maybe), boss fights are much easier when left in the computer's care.All of that said, I did enjoy the game and will still play through it again to see alternate paths and collect all the side stuff. Had I realized I was only getting half of a game, though, I might have waited for the price to come down.
