    Anyone else think Chris Antista's Disney obsession is just a lil creepy? That said...TALKRADAR4LYFE.

    I hope this comes to playstation move.

    Port this please. I do have a Wii, but I can't find it in my heart to play a serious game on it. Am I just being picky or what?

    Keep hating Wii guys, I love it!

    Awesome...now somebody give Warren Spector the go-ahead to make a new Donald Duck/Scrooge McDuck/Ducktales game RIGHT NOW!!!

    I skipped a beat when it said epic was better than SMG2, but then I read "and no". I'm definintley going to get this around christmas, and it looks like an exllenet game, but honestly, I don't think any game will ever beat SMG2....

    @ventanger what's it like to be ignorant and lame?

    Blaggers review was better than mine and Chris's.....

    nice. Ub Iwerks! i should expect nothing less from you, antista...

    Anyone who regularly listens to TalkRadar saw this coming haha! But it does look good so I'm NOT calling out this review.

    The biggest crime of this review is that it will inspire many gamers to rush out and buy this game assuming it is "The greatest 3D platformer of the year" and "better than SMG2". An absolute crime. I am struggling to understand how you could claim either about Epic Mickey, which is, in reality, an extremely pedestrian and dull platformer. The levels are small and boring to explore, the paint mechanic is never used to its full potential and the morality system is pretty much non-existent. Yes, I have played Epic Mickey, and had to put it down about half-way through because it was just ... awful. If the reviewer honestly believes that this game is a 9/10 and is equal to SMG2 then that is just... sad. And it's a gross disservice to gamers, because I honestly don't think any serious gamer will play Epic Mickey and think it's anything above a 6 out of 10. If you read this review and rush out to buy the game, I think you will have to brace yourself to be disappointed.

    How long has the Wii been decent? I've faded out for a while.

    This is the only game standing between me getting a new 360 or PS3 guess I'll skip on the new system until next year then... anyway great article Chris! ;)

    Good review Chris, game looks epic, and vey good for a wii game.

  • BigBoss - November 25, 2010 8:51 p.m.

    A brilliantly written review, conveying your absolute adoration for Disney in such a meaningful way. I'm glad it's able to deliver.

  • batmanboy11 - November 25, 2010 8:43 p.m.

    I want this game really bad!

  • Aletheon - November 25, 2010 6:15 p.m.

    Awesome. From Donkey Kong to Epic Mickey. Platforming is alive and well...

  • Randomnumba - November 25, 2010 5:41 p.m.

    Chris are you trying to start something by saying one of the best parts of the game is that you went to disneyland?

  • RonnyLive19881 - November 25, 2010 5:08 p.m.

    OMFG this site lost all cred the instant I saw "rehashes in SMB2", I'm assuming that was a typo and meant SMG2 because otherwise it doesn't make sense. Galaxy 2 is going to win Game of the Year for a reason you crazy person! Best game ever made by some people... Wow... just wow. And why the comparison to Toy Story 3 and not Epic Yarn or Donkey Kong CR?

  • YoshiAteMyBaby - November 25, 2010 5:05 p.m.

    Thanks for the REAL review Maxstats. I feel way more confident hearing about the game from someone who stole it and doesn't care about the subject material.
