The house of mouse is back in this remake of an old classic. COG gets a quick look at E3 and we can say that this faithful adaptation of a cult hit is sure to please. We’ve got screens, video and impressions inside!
"A hardcore game for the most hardcore of gamers starring… Mickey Mouse? You read that right! Many of you might remember Mickey’s Castle of Illusion for the Sega Genesis released way back in 1990 but for those of you who don’t let me fill you in. When originally released Castle of Illusion, a side scrolling platformer, developed quite a following as well as a reputation for being hard as hell. It was very well received critically for great level design, controls, and music. Fast forward 23 years later and we’re getting a revamped version of the game for XBLA, PSN and PC. More than just a re-skinned or repainted version of the original this new imagining of Castle of Illusion is guaranteed to kick your ass just as hard if not harder than its predecessor."
Dan from NuGame revisits an old school homage he missed the first time around.
Carl Williams writes, "All too often, when a company re-releases a classic title, they stick to the “inside the safe zone” method of doing it. This usually means simply updating the graphics and sound, if at all, and maybe adding some between level cinemas and calling it a day. Disney and company have gone above and beyond that with Castle of Illusion for Android (previously an iOS exclusive for the mobile world). This is how HD remakes should be, it is heavy on both ideals there whereas most “remakes” are simply “re-releases”."
If you own a gaming tablet such as a JXD S7300/S7800 you can assign those touch controls to physical buttons whether the game supports them or not (using a screen to key app that is built in).
Using one of those tablets makes this play like it should.
Ha! You must be out of your mind if you think I'm spending 10 bucks on a mobile game.
I'll wait for a sale.
Considering the fact that you pretty much are guaranteed backwards compatibility with newer Android hardware, portability, etc. I think $9.99 for a really good game is not out of the question. At least it is not like Square Enix where they want $20+ for a few extra polygons, a cinema or two and then remove the option to use physical controls.
It’s this time of the year again: the GMG’s Summer Sales. And as usual, GreenManGaming promises it’s going to be blast.
The International Federation of Deals (IFD), lead by Alf, which has been formed to bring the best deals from all the four corners of the globe, has established a Summer Sales at GMG
The structure is simple: each day, from the 6th to the 13th of June, they will offer you daily deals, bundles, multi-buy offers, competitions and much more…
deals for the first day are poopoo. the best discounts are the same deals they have had for days before this.
Summertime is an awesome time to be a PC gamer because the deals are absolutely incredible. Especially now that it's not just Steam - GMG, Amazon, GoG, Humble Bundle, Origin, Uplay, etc. all do price battle this time of year.
I really wish the consoles would do this with their digital offerings, both on their store and through other outlets. Would be a great thing for them and gamers.
The classic looks and feels better. this one is too 3d to make the classic look better. Developers these days are 3d addicted wake up some games are better in 2d.
