The singing Mad Doctor is more interesting this time around than he was the before, and Oswald is a purely sympathetic character. Together, the pair embarks on a mission to find out just who or what is causing all this trouble in Wasteland.Īs stories go, the one that gives The Power of Two structure is serviceable. Upon arriving, he is almost immediately reunited with Oswald, who has thankfully returned safely. Once again, Mickey jumps through the looking glass in his bedroom and finds a brush in the magician’s basement. With their hero temporarily indisposed and a few suspicions raised, several remaining toons summon Mickey Mouse, who retreated to the real world after the events depicted in Disney Epic Mickey. He can put a stop to the quakes, but he needs a hero to help.
He’s here as a friend, though, he insists in song. A chasm appears in Mean Street, the town where most of the world’s residents live, and the Mad Doctor (one of the lead villains in the first game) appears in a horrific Beetleworx machine. In the opening sequence, a terrible earthquake threatens to tear that haven apart.
The new story takes place in the now-familiar world of Wasteland. The ambition and inventiveness that were so evident the first time around have been obscured by a sloppy retread that may well leave you wondering why anyone bothered to create it. Unfortunately, Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is a disappointment compared to its imperfect but promising predecessor. The concept and its execution certainly weren’t perfect, but they came across with enough flair that it was easy to anticipate the exciting next steps the franchise might take in its next installment. Aided by a magical brush stolen from a kindly wizard, the mischievous Mickey Mouse could either bring the gloomy world of Wasteland to vibrant life, or he could erase it with destructive thinner, all while interacting with forgotten relics from animation’s golden age. Though it wasn’t a hit with everyone, Disney Epic Mickey for Wii did enough things right that it felt like the start of a fantastic new franchise. The ambition and inventiveness that were so evident the first time around have been obscured by a sloppy retread that may well leave you wondering why anyone bothered to create it."
