Epic Mickey Review
One of the reviews was made by Richard George, IGN’s editor. In his article Richard George gave an overall score of 8.0 out of 10. Epic Mickey impressed the critic with its presentation which received 9 points. The critic mentions that the story-line is “charming from beginning to end”.http://wii.ign.com/articles/113/1136760p2.html The graphics of the game received 8.5 points because the title presents inspired environments, however the console’s capacities to output better graphics can be observed in the game.http://wii.ign.com/articles/113/1136760p2.html
Richard George awarded 8.0 to the lasting appeal and to the sounds from the game. While the lasting appeal impressed the critic because the game features multiple collectibles, the sound score was affected by the voice acting. The gameplay also received a lower score, 7.5, because the game’s controls and camera can become frustrating. Overall, Richard George outlines that:
"In the end Warren Spector’s team has created a mightily impressive foundation. They’ve managed to get the toughest stuff right – it seemed almost impossible to make Mickey Mouse matter once again."http://wii.ign.com/articles/113/1136760p2.html
