![]() ![]() Epic Mickey, as a game, represents what is probably Spector’s weakest work till date. Now that the final game is here, and in our hands, it’s probably a bit ironic, and more than a little hilarious, to realize that all that sound and fury was towards no end after all. And then there was the second camp, which maintained, in the face of increasing resistance, that this game looked very ordinary, that there really seemed to be nothing special about it, and that hyping it up because of Spector, or Mickey, or Nintendo, without the game itself conveying any substance worth hyping up, was just plain and flat out a display of the typical fanboy’s mentality. As the game was demonstrated at public and media only events repeatedly, there were those who proclaimed that this game would demonstrate what a quality third party title on the Wii should be like, that it would prove to be the game that would demonstrate the commercial viability of third party games on the Wii. Here is a recipe for something extreme- either this game will be Spector’s best so far, or it will be an absolute, unmitigated disaster, you think.Īnd yes, up until the release of this game, that is largely how public opinion on Epic Mickey went. And finally, when he announces that his latest game will actually feature the most recognizable mascot in the world- Mickey Mouse- in the starring role, and that it will be a new, grittier, reinterpretation of the character, you rub your hands in glee. Still more importantly, when he announces that his next game will be not on the Xbox 360 or the PS3- both consoles that have enough power under the hood to realize the kind of ambition that Spector inevitably brings with him- but rather, on the underpowered Wii, things begin to get interesting. Moreover, when he announces that the new game will not be on the PC (the platform that he is most familiar with, and the one that has played host to all of his big hits), but rather on a console, you begin to keep an eye on the developments with bated breath. As a result, when Spector announces a new game, you sit up and take notice. The brain behind such highly regarded games as Deus Ex, System Shock and Thief, all of which went on to become landmark titles in their respective genres, has had this Midas touch with video games.
