It's Epic Mickey. Disney's new attempt to revamp their trademark pal by going back to his mischievous root.
The story goes like this: Yen Sid made a fictional theme park called the Cartoon Wasteland where he banished all of his unused ideas. This world is accessed by a mirror that transports you into the land. The clumsy helper, Mickey, spills paint and paint thinner on it, resulting in creating a new bad guy in the land called the Phantom Blot, who proceeds to take over the land from Mickey's long-lost half brother Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
Years later, Mickey is pulled into the world by the mirror and now has to save the day using his magic paint brush and avoid being destroyed while gaining the trust of Oswald who is now mad with jealousy of Mickey's fame and glory.
So here's the deal. You can use Mickey's paint brush to either create with paint (like making bridges to get across a chasm) or erase with paint thinner (like erasing obstacles and enemies). You go around and create a reputation while playing choosing to either become a hero by helping others or a scrapper by taking the more selfish route.
Besides it sounding like a bundle of awesome inside Disney geeky stuff, like uncovering stashes of E tickets. The design of the game looks awesome!
The land is a ridiculous mash-up of deconstructed classic Disney and robotics with a dash of steampunk.
While I'm not very good at video games, I do make an exception for certain special ones like Zelda and the Ocarina of Time and Kingdom Hearts. Sadly, there is no longer a game console in my home and the only one I have access to is my roommate's xbox during the school year, that I'm not very fond of due to lack of games for it that I would actually attempt to play.
I've always known that I would want a Wii though, Mario Kart is just too fun when you get to be princess peach on a pink motorcycle.
