GodisaGeek: "We have only scratched the surface of the title, and by no means covered everything that was on show, such as boss battles and even the return of the side-scrolling platform levels that are based on classic black and white Mickey Mouse cartoons, but there is so much on offer in Epic Mickey 2, it is truly packed with content. However, despite that, we have got a strong impression of what the game is trying to do, and the sensibilities that it exudes. Your choices and their consequences are clearly one of the major concerns of the new game, much in the same way as the Deus Ex games, so the influence of Warren Spector on the team is obvious. This will hopefully lead to a re-playable, deep game that offers players the chance to play it their way, and carve their own path through the narrative. That is quite an evolved concept for a title that most will just see as a Disney cash-in. Let us just hope that the game can reach a wider audience this time around, and people can see what it really is all about."
Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is one of the greatest co-op platformers ever made, and can still be played on modern consoles & PCs.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "There are few brands out there that have anything like the appeal and recognition of Disney. Thanks to decades of beautiful and critically acclaimed animated films, the company is a household name that has expanded beyond just movies to include a variety of other ventures, including videogames. Disney has also grown its lineup considerably in recent years by acquiring Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars (although for the purposes of this article, I’ll only be covering Disney/Pixar output).
Thanks to their broad audience, Disney games usually show up on every viable platform out there, meaning that despite the brand’s affinity with Nintendo’s younger-skewing audience, both the PSP and Vita received a number of titles throughout their lives. Some of this was through Disney's own developer/publisher (Disney Interactive Studios), but the firm also licensed out its IPs for other companies to try their hand at – with somewhat mixed results."
Xbox Wire: "It’s true, constantly bringing more games to you is kind of our schtick at Xbox Game Pass, so let’s talk about the journey these latest additions took to get from us to you! We started with the customary good luck ceremony, during which we wrote heartfelt haikus in tribute to each game, and the social media team sang their rehearsal solos for the Xbox Game Pass: The Musical."
One of the few bright spots for the Xbox One is the Xbox Game Pass. I am waiting for them to be the Netflix of gaming. Even for new titles. That's the goal. That would be so awesome. That's like their main selling point.
It's shocking how much speed Game pass has picked up recently. The selection of new games is great so far.
