MMGN: There is some fun to be had with Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of 2, but ultimately, the pain will outweigh the pleasure.
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."
I heard really good things about the Alien game. Gonna check out. Another win for Gamepass
alien isolation is a great game. I love how they stayed true to the original film with the late 70's sci fi vibe.
Alien: Isolation has the highest number of players who never finished the game - of all the games... this is why I never bothered with it...
Alien isolation is great. It just needed some editing. If it was about 30% shorter it woukd have been a masterpiece
@Estvez yeah because it got very repetitive and rather than them wrap it up and bring it home they added another 10- 15 hours of nothing new. But would defo check it out on GP if you never played it, it really is faithful to look of the movie and still looks great now
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.
The native 4k triple A 3rd party games like far cry 5, shadow of tomb raider, red dead 2 and metro exodus is also a selling point to me. and backwards compatibility with some 360 and OG Xbox games get free 4K patches like half life the orange box and KOTR. Also More and Better free games with gold and you actually keep the Xbox 360 free games forever. And they offer pretty good ones I’ve filled out my gaming library with good titles like South Park stick of truth for example. The controller and 4K blu Ray playback are nice as well.
And while they don’t have the best game library of all platforms there are still pretty great games that can’t be played on a Nintendo or Sony system like games in the halo Forza gears franchise and new games like ori and the blind forest quantum break from remedy sunset overdrive from insomniac. Plus looking forward to new games from ninja theory.
But your right game pass is a big plus. Getting titles like doom, hitman, shadow of the tomb raider, rise of tomb raider, fallout 4, rocket league, alien isolation, resident evil revelations, plus all first party Microsoft games is a damn sweet deal!
It's shocking how much speed Game pass has picked up recently. The selection of new games is great so far.
I haven't liked either of these games. I'm shocked they dropped the ball with material that should have been a surefire hit.
played the demo a bit and I think I like it and already bought the game but haven't played it yet.
but there sure are many bad review scores! kinda unexpected but when I read the review I think I encountered the same issues with the game during the short portion of the demo that I played!
the most annoying thing is the camera! I remembered it was the most glaring issue people were complaining about in the 1st game and having played the demo myself, I kinda understand. why the F does the camera set to follow the MOVE like a FPS played with MOVE or FPS played with mouse on pc?? don't they realized that this is a 3rd person game? why is the camera set like a FPS?
the review is kinda spot on too on the objective and what to do next in the game! most of the time you are clueless of what to do next and there is no indicator either! I think kids (which is the age group this game is targeting) is going to have trouble enjoying the game due to this!
