Epic Mickey 2 – The Power of Two Review Event

My writer Jess and I had the opportunity to check out Epic Mickey 2 – The Power of Two on Tuesday at a Press Event at the Disney Grand Californian Resort. We had so much fun checking out the game and meeting some of the creators and designers like Warren Spector! See a picture we grabbed of Warren below.

One of the highlights for me was Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is now voiced by the famous voice artist Frank Welker. I remember Frank from when I was little on a little show called the Transformers! Another really cool feature of the game the inclusion of some of your favorite classic Disney Characters. I don’t want to really spoil the surprises but let me just say you will LOVE seeing all your favorite characters from a long ago.

Here are some game details!

In “Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two,” gamers will play as Mickey Mouse and for the first time ever, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Walt Disney’s first cartoon star, in an all-new adventure of creativity and discovery.
Created by industry luminary Warren Spector and Disney Interactive’s Junction Point game development studio, “Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two” returns the franchise to the Wii™ system from Nintendo,
as well as expanding it to new HD consoles including the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and the Wii U™ system.

“Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two” returns Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit to Wasteland, an alternate world filled with 80 years of forgotten Disney characters and theme park attractions. But for the first time, Mickey and Oswald will join forces as true partners – Mickey with his magical paint brush that wields paint and thinner, and Oswald with his powerful remote control that allows him to command electricity. This new co-op play combined with enhanced in-game physics will further enhance the idea that “PlayStyle Matters” – a unique approach to gameplay pioneered by Warren Spector where players dynamically tackle different challenges in order to explore all possibilities and storylines, but with consequences for their chosen actions.
