Mickey's House of Mouse had a lot of shorts focused on the mouse (and Minnie), The Three Musketeers featured Mickey almost drowning. Seriously.

I guess it's the same sort of snobbery that has fans of System Shock "disappointed" with Bioshock.

Because disliking the utter dumbing down of the sequel, both in terms of gameplay AND storytelling, is snobbery.

Bioshock is allegedly a "dumbed down" version of System Shock, and yet Bioshock is an awesome game on its own merits. So why should I give a damn if it's "dumbed down" when I still had a lot of fun with it (and fun is what's ultimately important in the end)? Ditto for Invisible War.

Bioshock wasn't dumbed down, it was more streamlined. System Shock was almost too wide open. Bioshock IMO balanced being more open then other FPS games but at the same time not being too open. There were usually multiple ways of getting through a level, but you seldom got lost either. I'm not really a bit fan of getting lost in a massive level so that is fine with me.

I hope High Voltage gets that memo for their next Wii project.

I never said you should. I said you shouldn't be so ignorant as to act like you know what's going through the heads of people who have actually bothered to play both games. Yeah, sure, Invisible War was, as you put it, "okay" for a console shooter. As a PC shooter and sequel to a game that WASN'T primarily a shooter, and was much more interesting, complex, and thought-provoking than all the ham-handed devices and "features" in Invisible War, it was utterly disappointing.

I don't see why we should argue over FPS games when Epic Mickey is a platformer.

Except its NWR, the land of derailment.

Also stop whining about Deus Ex Invisible War, any shortcomings that had were because Spector had a less dominant role on it.

That's why "I love PlanetGamecube!"

Back on topic, I want to go back to guessing what lesser know Disney characters will appear in the game.

6: José Carioca

7: Panchito Pistoles

These two guys starred with Donald Duck in the movie "Three Caballeros" I want to see them return.

Check out the the animation in the game! It is great.

Whatever shortcomings that MAY be in the visuals I think this animation will bring it to life.

Animation looks great, but I can't wait for a gameplay video.

p.s. Sorry to repost what you already posted, I forget to check for the update earlier, but I needed a formatted post to link to from the OP.

In general I agree with you, but judging by those videos they need to put a lot more working into the swinging animation. Observe how Mickey just seems to float backwards when swinging off that vine. There needs to be more "snap" in that transition.

Stratos · « **Reply #263 on:** October 20, 2009, 03:28:09 AM »

That looks promising.

The Mad Doctor is also shown there as a character in the game. I remember that guy.

I also like the focus on clock work. The classic Mickey, Donald and Goofey short about them being clock cleaners was quite enjoyable.

Also the Mickey, Donald & Goofey Firefighter short was funny as well.

My anticipation for this game is on a level close to Brawl's when we started getting the daily updates and reveals. It's kinda nice to have that excitement and joy return again.

More Disney Toons

Mickey Mouse in The Mad Doctor

Mickey, Donald & Goofy in Clock Cleaners

Mickey, Donald & Goofy in Fire Brigade

Stratos · « **Reply #265 on:** October 20, 2009, 04:09:40 AM »

I loved this one as well

Tugboat Mickey

And I know this one is Goofy only, but I also loved The Art of Skiing when I was young.

Animation looks great, I honestly always expected it too.

I am excited for those sidescrolling levels. They look really cool.

Peachylala · « **Reply #269 on:** October 21, 2009, 08:54:52 PM »

I see the effort, but I'm still skeptical. Third parties have been saying their efforts would please us, but so far they have fallen short.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #270 on:** October 21, 2009, 08:56:10 PM »

"we" are hard to please.

Peachylala · « **Reply #271 on:** October 21, 2009, 09:00:59 PM »

80% of their games can't please us.

95% of us won't buy it because bitching is a distraction.

We're worse then Final Fantasy fans sometimes. And MGS fans as well.
