I know that this video is from 7 years ago but, me and my sister used to play this game on the wii for hours upon hours. We probably don’t remember all of the finer details about what we disliked but we loved this game a lot. Even though it’s a 7 year old game we still hope for a third.

The other pleasure is this 🍌, isn't it?
I enjoy this game. When I play with my family I have one rule; I'm Oswald. My sis and I beat the main story together, and we had fun pointing out all the nods to Disneyland and forgotten cartoons. Out of all the Epic Mickey games, the first is still my favorite, but I'll pop Power of Two in every once in awhile.
The game would've been much better if it wasn't rushed... ...It WAS rushed, right? Please tell me it was rushed...

Most likely. You don't even need to play the game to spot multiple problems. also when you play or watch the game online you can see that the game wasn't as creative as the first, game play wise. That last sentence wasn't my opinion.

Dyl-NofDongos The game wouldn’t really have been that much better if it weren’t rushed. The game barely expands on the world of Wasteland. What about the forgotten characters after Walt? There’s probably tons more of them. Doesn’t Wasteland perhaps have more regions, like shown in concept art?
What are you people complaining about. Many games that get high scores have camera issues. The game is fun, that's what matters.

Despite any of it's flaws, Epic Mickey 2 is a wonderful experience. Yes, it fails in a number of areas but the gorgeous and imaginative visuals, engaging story, and the fantastic music. Epic Mickey 2: the power of to is painfully underrated, the amount of heart put into it matches the kind put into a Disney animated feature :)

Cant believe the game is 10 years old already
My brother and I have been obsessed with this forever! We’ve been playing all day everyday for a while now. We love it, but we always bring up “THIS GAME IS SO BROKEN” We always make fun of its errors, and we’ve had to restart our files bc it glitches us to wear we can’t spawn without dying. Today, I went to talk to one of the pirates and the game froze and made a weird sound. We couldn’t get to the Wii menu or anything! We had to shut the entire console down for the fourth time this week by unplugging the from our tv. I really wish they could make a third version with bug fixes. Edit: we also have the first one and we both agree it’s much better, but it’s not multiplayer
Everything she complains about is absolutely true. I'm still on Episode 1 and I've already encountered almost all the problems she mentions. Camera angles are horrible. Oswald doesn't respond to anything and disappears a lot. Co-operating with him is a nightmare. Targeting objects other than monsters is too difficult etc. And there is another problem that also bugged me. There are puzzles and usually two solutions to them, one is good and one is bad-which you get punished for choosing- but the game gives you no heads up before it's already too late and you do bad things without even knowing while you freely explore the levels and then some stupid shop owner says now he's going to charge you double for the goods because you did god knows what to him before you even met him LOL.

saeed waleed I think the problem is that this game was ported from the wii. Also the only problems the wii has are some frame rate issues but it’s very rare
I was hoping Mickey would pull out a keyblade lol
I remeber being obsessed with this game when I got it for Christmas on the Wii. I couldn't go any farther though as when I was playing a mission the last item I needed glitched into the map and I never got to play it again. I got it on Xbox recently and I can see how the camera and aiming are frustrating though that ironically didn't pose an issue for me when I was younger. I wish they would retry this series and apply all the tech we have now to make it an awesome combo of the existing 2.
The game was my childhood and my favorite game of all time

IGN seriously needs to rethink about some parts of this review, for instance. This is not really a young kids game, Warren Spector was probably thinking about the older mickey fans. So he made a mickey game for the older kids, probably for people eleven and over. This game is for the older kids who like mickey, not for young kids. The young kids can go watch Mickey Mouse clubhouse, we can play this game.

After loving the first, I knew this game was going to have problems due to it being on other consoles other than wii. I got the Wii version and although not as pretty controls far better with a wii remote and nunchuck. But its still has many flaws that I could overlook in the first game but this one felt less finished and is a shame that Junction Point were rushed into finishing this game so early rather than having more time to work on it. It was fun but frustrating at the same time. It had so much potential after the first and is a huge shame that there won't be an Epic Mickey 3 that can right take the best parts of the first and second and right the wrongs they both had. Overall it wasn't as good as the first but clearly had a lot of heart and soul put into it, depite its many shortcomings. Please Disney! Revive this series and get another developer to make a 3rd! :(
Is the Wii version of this game the same as the Hd version? Or is it just a watered down port?
It's this for Wii or PC?
Is this game good? Somebody tell me if i should get it and if its cool i want an honest oppinion
I remember growing up playing this game with my little brother we used to sneak into my room playing this all night aah so many memories. Plus we didnt really care about the story more about having fun exploring the world man it was beautiful as a kid
I'm asking if the Wii version has the same amount of content as the HD versions.
This review is spot on...so mmany parts of this game just needed a bit more touching up....after how AMAZING the first one was...this one was just a tad disappointing.....although, warren specter's creative charm is still there, making the game still worth playing.

is the wii u version better?
So is this review for Wii, 360, or PS3?
I think epic mickey should get another game, or Oswald should be shown more in disney media and parks
Both the Epic Mickey games are awesome (2 is a little better IN MY OPINION),I can't believe that people don't like them enough,THEY'RE MASTERPIECES!!! Hopefully Epic Mickey 3 will come out soon.

I feel that Epic Mickey needs, at least one more game. Where the camera is finally fixed, the AI controlled Oswald doesn't make you want to throw your controller out the window, and the graphics are drasticlly improved. Even if that doesn't happen, the Epic Mickey games aren't that bad. They're definitely not masterpeices, but they're still good games.
the only problem i have is oswald but eventually you get use to it then he starts to work
I remember this game was so freaking scary. I felt trapped in this vintage wasteland surrounded by massive smiles and giggles.
This game was so awesome! Game was truly epic. Don't know why this game is hated...
Hey there, read your comment and do agree with you. The work the developers and artists did in this game was amazing, sure some of the platforming sections wasn't as solid as it could be but I managed to work around those areas, actually didn't really pay much attention to them cause i am really enjoying this game. hope they make a part 3 and make it bigger and better. Im glad to purchase this game because its like your in a disney movie and yes the two player co op is a welcomed addition :D
I'm still waiting to get component cables for my new TV, so whenever I get them I'll probably finish it.
I'm so glad you agree! The Epic Mickey games bring a sense of magic and heart that a lot of video games don't have. I hope there is another installment, defiantly a franchise worth expanding on! :D I'm happy you enjoyed it and I hope more people do despite the harsh reviews.
most of the review showed gameplay from like the first hour of the game. I believe that this game is good because it has a great atmosphere you feel really connected to the game
SO TRUE! Same goes for me! I might try to finish it this weekend before i get power of two or power of ilustions.
Ian ACTULLY gana get it today at Black Friday it looks fun rite ?
is it wii u?
So is it good? My 6 year old bro just got it today
In this game I keep getting stuck or just fall down from a hard obstacle
Just bought this today at best buy for 39.99 and used 5 dollar rewards plus 20 c mas gift money and came out to like 18 dollars, popped it in and from the beginning the cg,story, just takes you in, i mean you feel like your in disneyland or something pretty good intro. The platforming is what you would expect like from mario galaxy and the puzzles are pretty good. Sure sometimes a little difficult to connect with oswald on some of the teamwork sessions but i didn't have much problem, i give 8/10
Agreed. The first one had bugs but was still a good game. I just hope Warren, who also just did a Duck-tales comic book, finally gives us a Duck-tales game we old school fans want to see.
I've had problems on solving some of the puzzles, and the monster that hides in that car thing is so annoying! >.
@janchris57 absolutely, even with all it' s flaws pointed out here it's still a wonderful experience :) if you want it don't let this review stop you from getting it!
I've been playing the hell out of the second game and I love it. The voice acting is great, the humor is enjoyable, and the story is engaging. The only problem I have is that Oswald sometimes gets stuck and I have to wait for him to respawn. Online co-op would have been great

This game was my childhood.
I don’t know what everyone’s problem is with Epic Mickey. I for one LOVED both games! I guess kids and adults really do have different views!
Okay, let me ask you guys a question, has ANYONE anywhere met a person who has ever said "You know, the legend of zelda and banjo kazooie games are good, but i think they should have voice acting". When spector said he would improve on all the elements, he didnt have to go overboard, all we needed was a slight camera fix, and the same amount of levels (maybe even more) and he would have a good/meh game on his hands, instead of this hot mess.
Every time I play epic Mickey two the game just keeps screaming nostalgia that it feels like it's not even for kids and it is not for kids all my friends laughed at me for buying a Mickey Mouse game but after they played they loved it also it's an open world
Yeah i loved it to and I am loving the second one since for some reason my pre ordered copy cam on thursday I have played it a lot.
@mdh0422 The Wii version was the first game in development. It is not a port, but more of a beta. The HD versions are ports. Still it looks good for a Wii game but the HD has better shadows and environments which they added on, but each version is still the same game.
have you actually played it?
I bought the first one on the Wii and I LOVED it. Granted, I still havent finished it because its so freaking hard.
Brought up some really good points. I have a soft spot for the original game but it did get really repetitive and a little dull at times. I was hoping that the sequel would sort out those issues and be totally great but I guess it's just a by-the-numbers sequel
Weird how I had no camera issues in the demo at all. Quick and easy 360 degree rotation with no automatic annoying "centering." I felt in full control. I guess I don't see the terrible camera. I must be blind. And Mickey lands nice and firm too after jumping. I guess I don't see the slippery platforming either.
I swear when I got this game it was my life for a while
Let me explain something to you. I am not an Epic Mickey fan. However, being a gamer, I know this. Gaming and games in general have no age restrictions. I am 19, and I enjoy games like Bioshock the same as I enjoy Sly Cooper. Anyone can pick up a game and play. It's like watching a movie or cartoons. But you are the star, you pick your choices. When I am 70 years old, if my body allows me I'll still be playing games. As long as I can hold a controller, I'll play games. It's a magical world.
thats the nostalgia effect she was talking about in the beginning.
I'm picking this up today. Critics didn't like the first game but I adored it. It honestly felt like I was playing through a classic Disney film
it doesn't even come out till tomorrow. How can you already enjoy it if its not possible for you to own it yet?
Is the reviewer from New Zealand?!
Did Oswald even have a voice in the original cartoon?
Did you pay attention to the review? If you want more detail, read the written review.
One of my most favorite games just never cared for the problems...
That bull I believe it deserve a 8.5 at least

no, most of them panned it for having a bad camera and wonky controls but I got over those and loved every second of the first one. I'm pretty sure I'll love this one as well despite what Miranda Lawson says

I didn't read the reviews before I played the first one. I knew day one that I would love it. The 'flaws' were not such a big deal. I didn't even give the camera problems much thought until I read how bad of a time others had. Funny how that works. I'll be glad to play this too. It is hard to discern where problems exist because some people just aren't good at playing certain games. I can see where there are problems when you just don't know how to jump on a platform.

I never had a problem with the camera in the first Wii game and i see they have reviewed the 360 or PS3 version this game series was designed for the Wii not those consoles and it works better with the Wii remote they should have reviewed the Wii U version
epic mickey is a amazing franchise and needs to start working on 3!!!!
Most fail to realize the aspects this game succeeds at: visual presentation, musical score, voice-acting, content and originality. The art design featured in Fort Wasteland needs to be commended. In an era where games compete over muscles and browns, Epic Mickey 2 features much needed palette cleansers. Oswald's AI and the bosses need retooling. All in all, however, to label this game broken or awful is a lie. It succeeds in many areas, and fails too, but it's a franchise worth expanding on.
How did this get marked down for being repetitive, yet when ign review cod the word repetitive isn't even in there?
I just beat mature zelda type game dark siders 2 and man was that an epic quest, now playing the more less rated game mainly because i am a fan of disney art and its characters. So far enjoying this game and had my 8 year old daughter join right in as oswald and where having a blast. Yes some of the teamwork and platforming sessions good have been more perfected but i didn't have to much to gripe about. I love the artwork, teamwork, the painting and thinning abilities. The world looks colorful

4/10 Too much mickey.
u actually have a very good point and i agree. but theres just one thing i have to bring up: skyward sword actually got a 10 while halo 4 got a 9.8. i know its a stupid remark, but i tend to say stuff like that.
Very good review, shame the game didn't exactly do as well as people hopes and to be fair it did look pretty good
I actually very much liked the original Epic Mickey and it remains to be one of my favorite games. I didn't see anything wrong with the mechanics. So I can see Epic Mickey 2 being an outstanding game.
Sooooooo it needs a perfect score even though you havnt palyed it yet??
yup
I saw the video, and I actually played the demo. Yes, the world is amazing, but indeed the mechanics did not surprise me much. That being said, I was feeling pretty good being in a Disney world. That's what I meant by replying to that guy. I thought he was saying that any game with "kids' content" could not be played by adults which is very wrong since every man has a child inside him. Now, if the game is indeed intended for younger audience with simplified mechanics and stuff, that's different.
i played the demo, and honestly, this game still doesn't seem half that bad... i had problems with the first one considering that the controls and camera angles are HELL, but now that it's on ps3 this game feels way more then awesome in comparison. and yes, you CAN lock on to enemies, but not too sure if you can change your camera sensitivity... although some of the things she says seems true i still think this game deserves a chance.
i like this game but i dont like the camara
