If you’re looking for a platforming game that is full of charm, fantastic animations and re-imaging of classical Disney themes then Castle of Illusion: Starring Mickey Mouse is the perfect answer. All Castle of Illusions: Starring Mickey Mouse is trying to do is to re-create that original feeling that the old-school game had. This is not a new platforming game but instead a remake of a classic that was memorable and fun back in the day. The game doesn’t have anything complex or annoying to figure out instead it focuses on delivering a 2D/3D classical platforming experience. The formula is quite standard, if you’re looking for something revolutionary here for platforming then I am afraid you won’t find it here. It was easy to get into and start having fun right-off the bat. Overall, the controls and the platforming was responsive. The gameplay mechanics were quite simple, you run, jump and kill enemies as you traverse from point A to point B throughout the stage. It was exciting to play a game that reminded me of how Disney platforming games were back in the day. Castle of Illusion: Starring Mickey Mouse felt just like an old school 2D platforming title with the exception of extraordinary Disney-like visuals and animations. Most of the doors were closed off, so I went into the door that was open which lead me to one of the indoor castle levels. Each room represented a level in the game, and the castle’s main hall acted as the game’s main hub. The demo started with Mickey standing inside a castle hall that had several rooms with closed doors. I won’t be able to give you my comparison impression to either of the games since I didn’t play the original, but I will touch upon the game’s overall feel and mechanics. Meanwhile, ever since I heard of the remake, I was instantly intrigued and wanted to check it out. However, I never got to play the original Castle of Illusion on the Sega Genesis, so I didn’t get to experience the game at it’s original form. Obviously, my passion for gaming also led me to playing Disney games like The Lion King, Alladin and Chip’n’Dale on the Nintendo Entertainment System back in the 1990’s. I used to watch Disney cartoons all the time, especially if any of them included Mickey Mouse. The game’s presentation is appealing to both adults, children and families.Ĭastle of Illusion was one of the games I wanted to check out at this year’s E3 due to the fact that I am a Disney fan and Mickey Mouse is a significant part of my childhood. Instead, this is a full fledged roller-coaster ride that we all used to know and love. It’s not some cheap knock-off that was made by a unknown developer who tried to match the magic of Disney. Castle of Illusion: Starring Mickey Mouse is full of classical Disney moments as soon as you look at it. Sega did a fantastic job at providing classical sounds, animations and visuals in a Disney-like fashion.
