Warren Spector and Gametrailers Unveil Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two

Although Epic Mickey received an average review score of 72%, it fared very well among fans looking for a good game featuring Mickey Mouse as a playable character again, something not seen very often as Disney is very reluctant to let Mickey be used in games that are made half-assed and even in games they know are of good quality (Kingdom Hearts series comes to mind). Epic Mickey had one universal complaint, the camera that was controlled by the D-Pad on the Wii remote.


Looking to fix that issue and introduce new gameplay elements, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two was just announced. The game features Mickey teaming up alongside his "brother" Oswald the Lucky Rabbit who controls the power of electricity and also features drop-in/drop-off co-op, allowing a 2nd player to join in freely and leave freely, leaving the CPU to control Oswald. The sequel will also be cross-platform, being playable on the Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3, being fully compatible with Playstation Move, but not Kinect. Early reviews of the demo have already stated that the right analog stick on the 360 and PS3 versions leave a lot to be desired when aiming the paint brush and that the visuals do not justify skipping the Wii version, unless you have Playstation Move.
