Reviewer Steve Wright writes, "Warren Spector was contagious at this year’s Game Masters in Melbourne. He wasn’t spreading some illness from the plane he’d taken from America, but instead was infecting gamers with enthusiasm and joy.
"It was obvious that Spector was excited about his studio Junction Point’s upcoming game, Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two. Not a huge fan of the first game, I found myself ridiculously excited for its sequel, as Spector spoke of his team’s efforts to correct the things done wrong in the first. Spector called out flaws like overly silent characters, a failure to bring the game’s RPG elements to the foreground a lack of musical elements that are constantly found in Disney movies. Not only did I believe Spector that he’d been successful in fixing these issues this time around, I wholeheartedly wanted him to be."
Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is one of the greatest co-op platformers ever made, and can still be played on modern consoles & PCs.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "There are few brands out there that have anything like the appeal and recognition of Disney. Thanks to decades of beautiful and critically acclaimed animated films, the company is a household name that has expanded beyond just movies to include a variety of other ventures, including videogames. Disney has also grown its lineup considerably in recent years by acquiring Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars (although for the purposes of this article, I’ll only be covering Disney/Pixar output).
Thanks to their broad audience, Disney games usually show up on every viable platform out there, meaning that despite the brand’s affinity with Nintendo’s younger-skewing audience, both the PSP and Vita received a number of titles throughout their lives. Some of this was through Disney's own developer/publisher (Disney Interactive Studios), but the firm also licensed out its IPs for other companies to try their hand at – with somewhat mixed results."
Xbox Wire: "It’s true, constantly bringing more games to you is kind of our schtick at Xbox Game Pass, so let’s talk about the journey these latest additions took to get from us to you! We started with the customary good luck ceremony, during which we wrote heartfelt haikus in tribute to each game, and the social media team sang their rehearsal solos for the Xbox Game Pass: The Musical."
One of the few bright spots for the Xbox One is the Xbox Game Pass. I am waiting for them to be the Netflix of gaming. Even for new titles. That's the goal. That would be so awesome. That's like their main selling point.
It's shocking how much speed Game pass has picked up recently. The selection of new games is great so far.
I don't like it when a developer has so much enthusiasm for their project and it ends up not as good as they and the gaming public would hope. :/
