Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Review – A fresh lick of paint
Despite the massive financial success of Nintendo’s Wii, the console’s games (outside of the central first-party titles) have always had a somewhat negative reputation. While it’s true that there was a lot of awful shovelware and games ruined by shoehorned waggle controls, there were also standout games that were overlooked by the wider gaming community. Perhaps chief among these was Epic Mickey, a surprisingly dark and interesting take on Disney’s most iconic character. Indeed, looking back most of the interest in the game came from the involvement of industry legend Warren Spector (of Deus Ex fame). The eventual sequel, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, moved away from exclusivity and released on all contemporary platforms with added coop multiplayer and a shift towards being an interactive musical. But, going back to the original, Epic Mickey has now been remastered – or Rebrushed as the title has it – in the hope of finding a wider audience.
