GamesRadar:
At this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, we learned that the first level of Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion is based on the 1953 animated film Peter Pan. Since facing off against Captain Hook on the Jolly Roger though, we've heard little else about what other Disney celluloid classics would be the source of inspiration in the upcoming 2D platformer. That was remedied at a recent press event, however, when Junction Point Studios' Warren Spector and DreamRift's creative director Peter Ong revealed a brand new world--or castle wing--based on Aladdin. From the streets of Agrabah to the Cave of Wonders, players will get to unleash Mickey's paint-and-thinner powers in a variety of familiar locales from the 1992 film.
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.
