we purchase Epic Mickey for we 10 year old son for Christmas . he be a avid gamer and have play through almost all of the Mario game , as well as a few Link game , so we be very surprised to see we son have such a difficult time with the game . the reason why he be have a hard time with it be not because it be difficult to control - on the contrary , it be very easy . it be because it be the type of game where you really need to take you time . epic Mickey be not a `` rush through and finish it out to win it '' game , but be , rather , truly a epic adventure . you get to be Mickey in a entirely new -lrb- or old , depend on how you look at it -rrb- world , where he need not only to save himself , but to help many other . the game change depend on how you play it . if you help out a lot of people , for instance , they 'll be there to lend you a hand when you may need it . or you can skip help other and can just rush through the game yourself , but if you do this the game be a bit more difficult . pro - the control . you get to run around and paint and thin thing . how much fun be that ? grant you can not paint or thin everything , but there be a large number of thing that you can paint and thin , and what you choose to do change the way the land around you look , truly personalize the game . - the sheer size of it . it be huge . it be a game where you can run all over the place and still not see everything , much like Disney World itself . - the sentiment . we just get back from Disney and see some of the same thing , like `` mean '' street and the Disney statue , be so sentimental for I . and watch Mickey 's animated face when he see Walt 's statue - priceless ! con - the camera control - you do not have full , complete camera control like you do in some game , and I can see where that would be frustrate to some people . to I , however , it be just another challenge to the game , and it do not bother I too badly . epic Mickey be a great game - not the easiest game , but definitely great . it actually get emotion out of I whenever one of the character be unremembered by Mickey , and when they talk about be forget about by the world . any video game that can not only challenge you and intrigue you , but also make you feel emotion , be a good one to I .
