I've always had a soft spot for Mickey Mouse, and the Epic Mickey games were certainly no exception.

Power of Illusion, unlike it's other console counterparts, is a 2D side-scroller that serves as a successor to the Genesis "Castle of Illusion" games. It's a simple little Mickey Mouse adventure that only took me 3-4 hours. As a kid, I hadn't fully played this one, but I finally rolled credits today.

This game is SLOW...and the slowness contributes to the moments where it can often feel unforgiving. Levels aren't too long, but it all moves as a snails pace. Mickey's move set is actually pretty great, but you won't find any sort of strategy between every move.

Furthermore hindering the already slow pace, there are moments where you can draw on the touch screen to remove or create objects and characters, frequently bringing the pace to a halt.

Just wanted to mention that I really love the sprite work in this game. It's not the most complicated, but seeing these Disney characters in this art style brought a smile to my face.

I did enjoy my time with this, but man does it drag.
