Same, Use To Have Both Games, Can't Wait For Rebrushed.

[@hotbelgianwaffles4439]

Im about 8 years late on this video, but i just felt like really making the comment that Epic Mickey is such an underrated video game. It has it's gameplay flaws and stuff, but it's the atmosphere, creative story and MUSIC that make the game a memorable one for me.

[@Artemis-os7hn]

Saaaammme!

[@nerdwholikestodraw8480]

I agree. The music is this game really had a good sense of atmosphere and tone to it. Simply well..epic!

[@cliff1634]

It’s what makes it my favorite game of all time Also it’s nice to see people still coming back

[@Artemis-os7hn]

@@cliff1634 Me too! This game was such an important part of my childhood; the amazingly dark atmosphere, the music, the characters, and of course the great story. Epic Mickey created such a terrifying world for me as a kid, but I kept coming back to it no matter how much it scared me. Also, its reapply nice to see that people still come back to it now and again. It's not often that I hear people talking about this game.

[@cliff1634]

Luke Rodgers thankfully whenever this game is brought up, it’s in a mostly positive light

[@zaralobnerold]

0:21 that part alone makes James Dooley one of my all time favorite composers. There’s just something dark yet beautiful about this track as the title implies.

[@PyroGothNerd]

Does anybody else think it's harsh that because EM2 didn't sell as well as planned that Disney closed Junction point?

[@inkblxt]

ok but honestly it was really annoying to have to keep track of oswald too and the two player thing only caused fights in my house lmao

[@thenerdoflife4302]

Yes, I agree. They could have collaborated with another company to help make EM3 or waited until they had enough money. Warren Spector said that the third game would have left Wasteland, so I wonder what it would have been. Maybe another company will make EM3 in the near or distant future.

[@anteros__]

@@thenerdoflife4302 Supposedly, there is a fan game being made of EM3.

[@meeska47]

Anteros _ they changed it to a prequel game before epic mickey

@@thenerdoflife4302 it would have taken place with the Pete's because at the end of em2 they Petes kidnap a gremlin just don't know where also they were going to make ed which would have been epic donald

[@aleksanikolic8362]

Remaster hype!

[@PyroGothNerd]

One of the prettiest tracks in the entire game. Dark Beauty Castle had this presence to it. It was beautiful, yet clearly in disrepair.

[@thenerdoflife4302]

This song gives you emotions. It makes you feel sorry for all the toons in Wasteland and for what happened-forgetting those characters and the effects of Mickey creating the Phantom Blot that ruined Wasteland, especially the first part of the song. The battle music gives you hope for Wasteland, because of how heroic it sounds. This song makes you think of Wasteland as a whole, with its characters and places, as well as how they got there and their history. This is one of my favorite songs from the game.

[@chacedubose6398]

True

[@Retro-Chimps-Galaxy]

[@heylookitsrandy]

A mudkip that bites I agree on you so much

[@mspeter97]

This is one of the more unique Disney game, heck one of the more unique Wii games. Shame it and its sequel didn't get the love they deserved. The Epic Mickey we have is a shadow of the original concept they had for the title. The game was meant to be A LOT darker than it is, and I think the music is one of the leftovers from that darker game and it works so well

[@popper7633]

CLOCK TOWER BOSS THEME WITH CHILDREN CHOIR

[@harleypippenger3255]

ITS GETTING A REMAKE!!!!!

[@365ral]

I actually really liked EM. Yes, the gameplay had its flaws, but the story and characters were its saving grace. EM 2 had sort of the reverse flaws. There were more options in gameplay so I was a lot less bored with it, but the story was weaker, compared to what was, essentially, Toy Story but with cartoon characters. Also, Gus is up there with Navi from Zelda as a very annoyingly talkative character. So, I have a love-hate relationship with EM 2.

[@chebic5095]

It's really weird to see that you came back three years later just to make this comment.

[@eminpro1632]

"Beauty in its glory days always has its happier charms--it's warm...enchanting...bright...but....once it becomes nothing but a forgotten memory, that's just it. once you discover it in its forgotten place, it's melody still plays the same, but....there's no warmth. it's nothing but sadness, a forgotten Beauty that can play its enchantment...but can only bring you sadness the more you listen." ...don't ask why I wrote that. ^^; I was thinking of a character of mine who might say the same thing.

[@borganon3022]

Same here.but I'm still developing a New character for the new mlp epic mickey movie in 10 15 possibly 20 years could sooner could be later still not sure. But one thing I do know. Is that it's gonna take a pretty long time.

[@takeanumber540]

That's awesome! It's great to see some other people that appreciate creative expression! I'm a writer, and make characters too! :P, and this game was when my creative kick kinda started.

[@wasteofspace69420]

They fricken nailed the unsettling/hopeless ambiance in this game

[@JDaTopo]

If you guys couldn't figure it out, the "Once Upon a Dream" is literally the melody during a few parts of the song.

[@JoyaLewisTheMusician]

I am in such a Dark-Disney-Epic-Mickey kinda mood right now. Love this music. It's so dramatic and dark and everything! :D

[@gamerprecario]

WE ARE SO BACK

[@365ral]

@MidnightWonko The theme of the music in the different worlds change depending on how much paint or thinner you use. It tends to sound more eerie in thinner, and more cheerful in paint. This track also shows the dramatic music changes when fighting enemies.

[@markc6454]

We cannot compare this game to anything, its unique in it's style and that dark atmosphere.... wow.. it leaves me speechless, I had so much nostalgia coming back in this game

this is probably the best soundtrack i have ever heard

[@meeky6714]

[@TheBlahBlahNews]

'Beauty once lived here, and beauty lives here still' springs to mind.

[@thenerdoflife4302]

The song is fitting to the name "Dark Beauty Castle".

[@marcolosalxd8097]

2:00 I'm not lying when I say that this part has influences from the soundtrack of The Legend Of Zelda and even the "Saw" saga.

[@Lapiziold]

Ironically the tutorial level soon became one of the most frickin’ hardest parts of the game

[@throwaway102]

I think I would've like epic mickey 2 a lot more if they didn't go the steampunk route, if they made it just as creepy and mysterious as the first one I would have loved it. There were moments where I was legitly scared in the first one, but 2 kinda disappointed me

[@thomasfinnegan6409]

I agree. And besides the theme, the story was totally underdeveloped. Having the Mad Doctor come back was good, because I liked him in the first one, but I was expecting a better villain. He's good, but not the best.

[@throwaway102]

Yeah, and it's kind of hard to take a villain seriously when all they do is sing, then show up for a boss battle at the end. For me, a good boss makes me hate them, like the Blot, or even the Mad Doctor in the first game.

[@SirIkeMedia]

I wish this first game was available on psn. I NEED it.

[@Melhope1230]

Epic Mickey 2 Best game ever and best songs ever

[@otaro36]

I feel magic with this sound.

[@365ral]

I've played both games for the Wii, so I can't speak for any other consoles, but the Wii works well for both games. The camera is definitely better in the 2nd one, but the Oswald A.I. tends to get a bit confused in singleplayer.

[@Teedgeee]

This is to me the perfect video game. It has its flaws, but I love everything about it: the aesthetic, the gameplay, the story and the music. Too bad the second game doesn't really stand out. Still hoping for a third game one day...

[@nolanyoungjin]

All the songs are so emotional and sad. Full of despair and sorrow, its very well written.

[@avidenaro6612]

Just to tell you; this song is both sad and creepy at the same time, like a remix of the chateau de la belle au box dormant in disney land Paris

[@bethangoodwin7574]

this brings out the pure darkness of the game in my opinion its so sad but moving in that sense

If you knock them all, they will smash the Throne Room to pieces, and reveal a different film reel than the one where you paint the murals in. But that will really piss Oswald off.

Dark beauty castle was once a gorgeous and extravagant castle that towered over the sky of the cartoon wasteland, but after the blot invasion I became a ruined palace in a state of disrepair until Mickey and Oswald saved wasteland and restored it to its former glory.

It's so hard to think straight when you're playing this game, 'specially if you're a Disney fan and grew up with this animations/shows/movies. 'Cause... this Wasteland that Mickey totally accidentally created is such a sad, and well...lonely place. And all of the characters, even Oswald are all correct. Nobody watches them anymore.

[@365ral]

@KillerMewGrape IKR? There were so many good parts they didn't put in the soundtrack!

[@Sonicisbadazz]

@nolanyoungjin And yet at the same time, there's a beauty to the music in this game that's hard to put into words. It makes me feel like a kid discovering Disneyland for the first time, and yet knowing I'm on a journey to stop an evil. Especially in Dark Beauty Castle. There, the music is just magical. (Wasn't aware till recently that "Once Upon a Dream" was mixed into it.) I just wish the gameplay gave me the same sensation. It's fun to be sure, but not quite as epic to me as the music. :)
