Wasteland is where the Disney characters of the early 20th century live in a purgatory-like existence. And where Mickey is “the man” at the Magic Kingdom, Wasteland is run by Oswald ( the Lucky Rabbit). There is a mad scientist and evil paint thinner creatures that Mickey must contend with. This is Wasteland, which is like a bizzaro Disney World, wrecked by the “thinner disaster”. This creates some crazy voo-doo causing Mickey to get sucked into the universe. Mickey, the clumsy ass he is, manages to spill paint thinner into the model. Mickey enters the workshop of the sorcerer (think Fantasia), who is creating a model world very similar to Magic Kingdom, painting in all of the detail. Indeed, much of the game is based on the idea of alternates, or opposites. The game makes an immediate allusion to Through the Looking Glass as we first see Mickey in the opening sequence. Either way, for your safety, remain seated with your hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the rocket and watch your children ( para su seguridad, permanezca sentado con las manos, brazos, pies y piernas dentro del cohete y ver a sus hijos). You are cleared for launch. And that’s a blessing and a curse of Epic Mickey: If you’re a Mickey/ Disney fanatic there is much to savor here, but if not the game must get by on it’s adventure merits alone. This one has been on the back-burner for some time and I’m glad I’m finally getting around to it, because I still feel like these types of games still have a place in the gaming lexicon - and I’m going to attempt to explain it all to you, as long as you agree to forgive my feeble attempts at explaining Disney animation history in the space of a few paragraphs. It doesn’t ruin anything for me to tell you that the endings of System Shock 2 and Epic Mickey are quite similar, but how that is possible I leave up to you to figure out. The influence is subtle, but it’s definitely there. Interestingly, Warren Spector worked on this game: you may know him from other non-mouse titles such as Wing Commander, System Shock, and Deus Ex (really?). Epic Mickey takes a darker look at the world created by the mouse, by taking players to a world inspired by a time before the mouse existed.
