Review Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion (3DS)
Mouse trapped
It takes a brave developer to tackle nostalgia head-on, even moreso when the original game was created by a completely different company and is considered one of the high points of an entire generation. For the first portable entry in the Disney Epic Mickey series, Dreamrift has peered back to the well-loved Mickey Mouse games of the...

News Footage Of Cancelled 'Epic Mickey' Spin-Off Starring Donald Duck Discovered
Epic Donald would've been epic
Disney's Mickey Mouse has been no stranger to video games over the years, from classic The Magical Quest and Illusion series to kart racers, and even Kingdom Hearts.

News Epic Mickey 2's Eventual Arrival in Japan to be Nintendo Exclusive
An interesting choice
We doubt that Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two will go down in the gaming history books as a release to remember, as it fell short of its predecessor's success (despite being released on more platforms), received various poor reviews and saw to the closure of the Warren Spector-led development studio Junction Point. It was a...
News Epic Mickey Future In Doubt After Sequel Falls Short In Sales
Epic Mickey 2 only sold 270,000 copies to the original's 1.3 million
Let's face it, Epic Mickey 2 was something of a critical disappointment. After the promise of the first game, we had high hopes that the follow-up would be even better, but as our Epic Mickey 2 Wii U review shows, it was a bit of letdown. It would seem that the poor reaction has...

About The Game
In “Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion,” Reality is What You Paint of It.
The game offers a special drawing and painting function that allows players to create rough versions of objects that magically transform into classic Disney-style 2D illustrations. Utilising the game’s unparalleled dual screen integration, players then move their creations to the top screen where they are further transformed into full-color, fully-rendered 3D visuals.
Paying tribute to the classic Sega Genesis title “Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse,” “Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion” focuses on the fabled Castle of Illusion, which has fallen into Wasteland, an alternate world filled with 80 years of forgotten Disney characters and theme park attractions – and now forgotten video games.
The evil witch Mizrabel, villainess from the classic “Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse,” finds herself an unwilling inhabitant of Wasteland, and unleashes a plot to escape using the Castle of Illusion to imprison and drain the cartoon essence from currently famous Toons. Players will take on the role of Mickey Mouse as he utilises his magical brush to wield paint and thinner to confront Mizrabel and save the Toons.

SOOOOO Excited!
And I just can't hide it! I think I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!
Seriously: I'm also really excited for this.
Love the artstyle to this, waiting to see a review for it in the months coming!
This is just so cool. I can't believe they are paying tribute the game gear game, this is going to be awesome
These look like DS screenshots...
Or SNES...
Can't wait 4 it to come out and on a handheld! But looks like a GBA game though, but who cares!
This looks perfect, reminds me of Mickey's Magical Quest for SNES...
Can't wait, I'll defently download this one
Its better that they've used slightly enhanced SNES style 2D sprites as they're trying to capture the ubercharm of Castle of Illusion If this is publicised properly, I think it would sell well amongst the modern younger gamers too.
Awesome SEGA Genesis graphics! Oh wait... this is 3DS.
No review on this game?
Surprised that Nintendolife haven't reviewed it yet? Anyways....it's a good game with gorgeous visuals and music....let down a little by it's length but if you do all the side quests it adds a fair amount to it (took me 13 hours overall) and it looks like you get a special ending for rescuing all the toons as they all appear during the end credits to thank you individually if you bother, though I'll need to do a run through the game without rescuing anybody to confirm that.
My only personal gripes with it were that the paiinting mechanic became very repetitive as you often have to draw the same items again and again and again, and doing all the side quests, whilst fun, is also just padding the game out as it forces you to visit past levels a few times to find items that didn't show up before.
It's definitely something I'd replay in the future though, and as I said it took me 13 hours to do everything so it's nowhere near as short (in that way) as some reviews have implied it is.
I just got this game yesterday and I like it a lot. Its a unique game Looking forward to getting Epic Mickey Wii and the new Epic Mickey: The Power of 2 Wii/Wii U!
This game looks amazing (: totally going to get it soon
I just tried the demo, and frankly, it just pissed me off more than anything.
It was way too dialogue heavy all things considering, and the painting mechanic just broke the pace of the gameplay.
What's more is the tutorial had the nerve to disable buttons prior to moving into (potentially avoided) hotspots, and let you listen to a length dialogue with the first boss, and then end the demo without letting you challenge it.
sigh, and I had high hopes as well, being developed by the Henry Hatsworth team, and having such lush visuals too.
I tested the demo version of the game. I think I'm not going to get this one.
OMG those Alladdin screenshots makes nostalgia BOOOM
I never knew this was for 3DS...
I played this game and I beat it 5 times and I got this game in Amazon. Awesome and Love it!
Hate this game.
