Do yourself a favor and play the demo before buying. With this much wrong with the game there's not much point in critiquing anything else. If only the narrator had some advice on how to improve the controls. Mickey should throw apples? Really? It's like playing a "Doom" remake and they add a voice over that says you should fire your gun and open doors. When you are listening to the voice over you will think you are playing a game for preschoolers. Both the accuracy and the timing of the jumping are off.Īnother problem is the voice over. Oh no Minnie has been captured by the evil witch Mizrabel. The controls are awful and the jumping is the worst! This is unforgivable.

But overall, most of the difficulties I encountered were taken care of not before long, and the game is a bit on the easy side a difficulty selection might have been nice. For instance, the second boss in the game, the Jack-in-the-Box, took about ten tries before I cleared it, because I had a fair bit of trouble figuring out how to avoid his punching glove attack I had to go to the edge of the venue and jump, but with very precise timing.
