Going back to track down all of the collectibles seemed like a chore due to nature of the controls. The difficulty level is really low, so people of all ages should be able to play the game.Ĭastle of Illusion was a fun game on my first playthrough. There are also hidden magic playing cards and Chili Peppers which that, when collected, will unlock extra costumes for Mickey. There are 75 diamonds in each level to collect, totaling 800 overall. You can spend some time afterwards redoing the levels to find all collectibles, which bumps up the total time played. I think I finished it in about 2-3 hours at most. The music really adds to the level, and all of the sounds are unique and distinctive. As you enter levels, he will continue the story, which is a nice extra. There is even a narrator who fills in the story, not just in the opening panels, but throughout the game. The music and sound in the game are great as well. That being said, this is a game based on a classic cartoon character, and therefore I would have liked to see fully animated cut scenes. They did a great job updating the game for this generation, and the game’s story is told through single drawn panels that look nice. Mickey and his the enemies look great, and the worlds are beautiful. It was fine for the first playthrough, but going back for collectibles seemed like a chore when replaying the levels. This is a problem when you have to jump on enemies or platforms to reach hard to get items. There were times when I made jumps the same way and got different results. Jumping felt floaty, reminding me of Little Big Planet, but less exact. I found the controls for the game a bit frustrating. On top of that, the levels are laid out really well and make exploring them fun. As a huge plus, each of the worlds are vastly different from each other: a forest, a library, an ancient temple, or a land made of candy and sweets. Each world has 3 parts, 2 main levels to play through and a boss level. There are 5 worlds for Mickey to explore. Mickey can jump and throw projectiles to defeat enemies or traverse the environment. The game will spend most of the time in a 2-D plane, but there are certain parts of the level that will switch to a 3-D overhead view. The game is part sidescroller/part 3-D overhead game. Think Super Mario 64 in terms of setup, but without the scope. The Castle of Illusion acts as a hub world, and you can choose to go through doors that will take you to different areas. Minnie has been captured by the evil Mizrabel, and your job as Mickey is to enter the Castle of Illusion and save her, and the story follows a familiar trope in gaming where you have to rescue a damsel in distress. However, Castle of Illusion does re-imagine the levels and the boss fights so it will seem different than the game you used to play. I felt Ducktales played it safe since, for the most part, it was a fairly standard remake (aside from some extra content at the start). This is the second Disney remake this year after Ducktales Remastered. Since I was a Nintendo kid, I never got a chance to play the original, but I remember hearing the praises of the game on the school yard from all the Sega Kids. – Complete hidden challenges to customize Mickey with classic costumes!Ĭastle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse is a remake of a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive classic. – Journey across five magical worlds filled with Mizrabel’s powerful minions. – Experience a world of wonder, brought to life with all-new graphics and magical adventures. – Play as Mickey Mouse in this reimagining of the classic Sega Genesis/Mega Drive game.
