That's what _every_ company does when a game doesn't do so well. If the game doesn't do well, its not all that worth investing in. As cool as the concept of Epic Mickey is, it makes sense why it got cancelled, as the gameplay is one of the most important aspects of a _game._ This isn't one of those "Disney's so evil and greedy" moments this is a "the game flopped because people didn't enjoy playing it" moment. Take the Pikmin franchise for example... the game didn't sell as well as other game franchises, but it _always_ gets really good review scores because the gameplay is enjoyable and well executed. The series only gets 1 new game every 5 years or so, but if the franchise got as bad of reviews as Epic Mickey it wouldn't still be around. Don't get me wrong... I love the concept behind Epic Mickey, but the gameplay was _really_ not all that great.

[@absolite6]

@@randtastik Oswald was originally going to be the villain. They then scrapped that and also had plans for him to be an anti-hero instead. That was then further changed to the Oswald we now know today. The resentful, fallen star who eventually warms up as the game progresses. I'm glad they went with this instead as it just seems more fitting for him. Bitter but not evil. His story in the game in general was pretty much perfect.

[@samuelgarza2466]

The original concept for EM1 Oswald was even referenced in the Diorama section of Epic Mickey 2, by A.B.E. The blot-Oswald amalgamation was dubbed "Storm Blot", and was considered to be the Shadow Blot's most powerful form. This is true if you look at the concept art of the Storm Blot penetrating Wasteland's sky, abducting beloved characters such as the Genie.

My parents don’t often buy me video games, so I STARTED the series with the second game (which they bought to allude to our upcoming Disneyland trip), and I don’t know if it was simply the sheer excitement of a new video game combined with that of a trip to Disneyland, but I LOVED Epic Mickey 2. Of course, it has its flaws. In the Junkyard or whatever that level’s called, Oswald is supposed to offer to throw you up onto a ledge, but on ONE SPECIFIC SAVE FILE HE NEVER OFFERS (the same thing also happens in Mean Street South, where you’re supposed to get thrown onto a clock), and the alternate path out of the level involved keeping Invisible Ink on long enough to pass a camera that would shut the door to the exit if it saw you. Needless to say, the ink ALWAYS wore off before I could get past the camera. I beat it flawlessly on a second save file though. The postgame is rather simple in that there isn’t one, aside from wrapping up all the quests you haven’t so far. I think really it was just the appeal of bending reality to my will that appealed to my 11 year old brain, LMAO. Anyways, point is, this is a very good review that I’d be hard pressed to argue with.

I also grew up with this franchise and I would at least call it innovative. I remember looking at old Disney cartoons and wishing something like that was made again since I as getting kinda tired of all the CGI animations that were being made. When this game was announced, it felt almost like a blast from the past, but still reimagined as a game for older audiences. Disney were testing the grounds of stuff for more mature audiences (besides the 7 and 8 year olds that watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse), and I give them credit for that. As you said, a lot of love and passion went into this game. I got this game on my 10th or 11th birthday, around the time it came out. I loved diving into that game's lore and art. It inspired me to follow art and go to an arts school. I remember some of the concept art for this game giving me chills, and I wasn't expecting that for a Disney game. It surprised me in a pleasant way. Though I do stand by something you also said: the gameplay was tricky at times. I never really felt bored with the paintbrush mechanic but the camera angles were very annoying at times. I didn't really bothered to buy the 2nd game since I didn't really had an X-Box, or a Playstation 3... or any console at all that could read the game XD, but I did look up gameplay and what the game was about. I liked it, but it was a big "meh" compared to the original one. I still think the 1st game was a big shot in the dark that actually worked pretty well for what it lasted! I don't know if I would call it epic but it was certainly a very interesting experience and take on this franchise usually targeted at young kids.

I absolutely love this review. Lots of people only focus on the bad or good of the franchise, whereas this review really points out what is good and bad about the games. I didn’t realise how ignorant I was of reviews of the epic mickey series pouring scorn on people who said the games weren’t great, but in all reality I never looked at the bad because of my nostalgia. I really like this review also because it highlights the wonderful care and attention that was put in on the tiny details around the map which is really the only reason I liked the first game. Thanks for such a great review

[@Nicozcool]

“A remake would be great” boy do I have news for you
