EPIC Mickey is not a game for children learning

It is difficult to say exactly what the plan was with new video game Disney, Epic Mickey out for Nintendo Wii. Of course, is a Plattformer, establishment of a "platform" has a rich legacy of success, exciting games, where the basic principle is to get your character (in this case, Mickey Mouse) from Point A to Point B in jump - up - a space to space. Mickey epic genre is filled with classic 8-bit era and 16-bit Super Mario Bros and Sonic the Hedgehog and was paired against the critics darling modern smash hits as super meat boy and Psychonauts. The first thing you need to know is that Epic Mickey is in no way kid game learning. There is very little educational value outside accessories lessons we learn fall off a cliff repeatedly.

The second thing you need to know is that Epic Mickey is incredibly frustrating control for an adult with a lifetime playing video game, much less a young person who may not be used to control advanced and often capricious regime. The truth is that these terrible controls and the fact that it is not a child learning game effectively breaks Epic Mickey.

That is a shame because innovative and fun game parts are extremely exciting and enjoyable to watch. This should not be never refreshed by parents who choose to interact with their children and learning and video games children play with them, or, as in the case of Mickey Epic, sit and watch when there is no other choice for a second player. It is easy to become a parent very bored of the history of the game is absent.

This is certainly not a deal with Epic Mickey. History is deep game for children and maybe a little dark for children who are easily frightened. The story involves some characters from the beginning of Walt Disney - think "Steamboat Willy" - that have become jealous of glory and wealth as Mickey and his pals. After some conflicts at the beginning, "old" characters join forces with the "contemporary" characters against a new threat. This is only moral "will work together" educational time I got to feel like a child learning games.

Unfortunately, we were not able to get much more in the plot, because parts of the establishment of a platform game so totally frustrated me and my son. As much fun as it was to use the Mickey brush and can of paint thinner or to clear the obstacles in the world, were simply too many moments where Mickey are fallen over and over again, and once again!) at his death cartoony. It is on the 3rd hour of frustration when we finally left and returned to our children learning the game. I recommend that you skip it.

He played for the establishment of a platform, shooters, sports, learning of children, games and puzzle games games almost his entire life. One day his son will hit in a game of ThinkSmart, but until then, who will be its go - to set.
