First Epic Mickey Reviews Are In

Does Epic Mickey do everything producer Warren Spector has been claiming, does it "make you cry" with its emotional plot, are its graphics "the best on the Wii"? As Fable and Call of Duty have shown before with producers attempting to reach for the sky with their speculation, it's best to level your expectations when approaching the 12+ rated title exclusively for Nintendo's console if critics have anything to say about it. 1Up.com start their review by saying "if [they] hadn't been playing Epic Mickey for review, [they] would have put it down as the first few hours are so boring", noting that the camera and controls "can be terrible", but that Epic Mickey is redeemed by its choices, the reviewer stating that "[they] want to go back into the world to see what would happen if [they weren't] nice!" and giving it a B. Meanwhile, ONM rated Epic Mickey 8.5/10 for an "original, dark setting" and "huge replay value" but "average plat-forming" and "occasionally bland graphics". Simply put, if you've been waiting for Epic Mickey since its announcement in January (unlikely, but plausible) then it isn't by any means a bad game for you, but mind you didn't take too much heed of Spector's hype-machine before you press play.
