[Music] there's something well magical about 2010's Wii exclusive Epic Mickey getting a remake in 2024 as those who played the original know the game itself is a quest through a realm of Forgotten Disney characters and attractions called the Wasteland and after playing a demo of Disney Epic Mickey re brushed at d23 I'm more confident than ever that this adventure with an impressive new coat of paint will thankfully not be lost to the unforgiving hands of time like some that sadly came before it [Music] what impressed me the most about Disney Epic Mickey rebrush is how much it looks and perhaps most importantly feels like a 2024 game in our original Epic Mickey review we gave it an 8 out of 10 and said that this great game was held back by a camera and control system that were flawed to a point where the larger experience becomes damaged none of those issues were present in what I played at the Remake and it felt like an absolute joy to play Oh and it running at a smooth 60 FPS didn't hurt its case either Mickey himself has also improved in the 14 years since he first entered the Wasteland as he can now Sprint Dash and ground pound around the gorgeous yet dark world that is very much like a twisted version of Disneyland these new traversal editions are the mini to Mickey's paintbrush abilities and they dance in a way that is just as beautiful as Disney Park's best nighttime spectaculars I just had the biggest smile on my face as I jumped around the opening level of Disney Epic Mickey rebrush and didn't have to deal with the frustrating motion and Camera controls of the Wii version leaving me to paint and thin with ease while feeling so much more agile the best remakes Implement changes that seem almost Preposterous to think they were never there and these certainly fit that bill as for the visuals of Disney Epic Mickey re brushed they are another highlight in large part to remake developer purple lamp's decision to not only rebuild the whole game with the original assets so it was playable from start to finish finish but to then remake every asset from scratch and do it all over again this dedication appears to have been worth it as the Wasteland is now a place I wish I could explore forever from the inky black paint-like blot floating off Mickey as he runs and jumps to the colors and sharpness of the alternate flying elephant and teacup attractions Disney Epic Mickey rebrush takes place in a world that I can just watch and listen to a subtle and haunting version of Once Upon A Dream and still feel like I had a worthy play session the sidescrolling 2D projector stages that take Mickey from one level to another also looks so much better and in one of the new additions to Disney Epic Mickey rebrush you can go back and play through them again as you wish in the game's Main Street Cinema this means you can replay levels based on such classic Mickey cartoons as Steamboat Willie Mickey and the beant stock and more as you please now there isn't a ton new in Disney Epic Mickey rebrush as it's a very faithful remake but fans will be able to look forward to three times as many Collectibles to find from pins to film reels to artwork and so much more the team also told me there will be some new puzzles to solve but that's really about it so if you didn't love the story or painting gameplay or the first interaction between Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit these modern upgrades may not be enough to sway you however like me if you saw in the original something that was held back from greatness on the Wii or you never had a Wii and just love Disney and Mickey this is one Adventure you should really keep an eye on I'll be very curious to see how the rest of the game holds up as I was only able to play that opening level but what I experienced left such an impression on me that it's making September 24th a whole lot harder to wait for for more on Disney Epic Mickey rebrush don't miss a review of the Wii exclusive original from 2010 and the recent release Daye trailer for the Remake and for everything else in the world of gaming stick with IGN [Music]
