A nice nostalgic trip down memory lane. Play as Mickey as he paints the town...well blue and green. Fun game to revisit once remastered.

I did not experience this one on the Wii when it first came out, so the Rebrushed title was the first time I've played it. I like the simplicity of the controls and I LOVED the different art styles. I also really enjoyed the side scrolling middle levels.
A few gripes.
1. Lack of any actual speaking with the exception of the beginning and end of the game just irritates me. It's lazy game making - to put in some scrolling text at the bottom versus actually working with voice actors. Basically very similar to a Nintendo Wii or Switch game. I expected more from Disney.
2. The cut scene animation is really weird.
3. The game gets super repetitive by the end.
Overall, a fun, relatively short play. Fun for the family. Recommend - maybe on sale?

I will say after going through the original I will mention the pros and cons.
Pros:
Graphics: It definitely looks amazing. Everything, even the opening and 2D cutscenes got a HD glow up. The 60 fps is a nice bonus to go with it.
Controls: I was never bothered by the Wii & Nunchuck's controls, but those who were will definitely enjoy playing this with a controller.
New Stuff: I never thought I needed a Sprint option in this game, but this is one of those quality of life additions that is nice to have. Another thing is how the collectables are totally different than the original. As in new stuff and the old stuff are in different places so you'll get a whole new mindset when it comes to exploring. Also the costumes are nice also.
Cons
Changes: This is a personal thing and maybe a few others will feel the same way. Some of the model changes are hit or miss along with the animations. I do feel there was some charm taken out of this. Old school fans will probably be disappointed, but new fans probably won't (unless they go back to the original).
I only give it a 4/5 because it's still Epic Mickey. While I do like the game it's still not one of my favorites, but I commend the effort to Purple Lamp for getting enough time to remake this game compared the SpongeBob Rehydrated. I hope everyone else enjoys this.

I had this game on Nintendo Wii system and it was awesome. The graphics are even better here you lose some of the control ability that we had but it’s still a great game. Catch it on sale.

Loved that game!!! I never played it on the Wii when Epic Mickey originally came out, so when it was announced that it was getting a remaster/remake, I knew I had to get it. I LOVED it. I normally don’t like platforming games, but this was a rare exception. I’m very happy I got this game. I would 10/10 recommend it.

Bought as a gift for my nephew for xmas. He played the original on his DS I believe but now he wants to experience it remastered on his PS5. I have heard nothing but good things. Great guft for Disney or Mickey fans.

I like how this game is a platformer, and the fact that it is for the ps5 is a bonus. Endless hours of fun collecting and running around the different levels.

This is a gift for my grandson for Christmas. I ordered is from Best Buy because it was much less pricy than on Amazon. It was delivered in a timely fashion.

This is a classic game! It brought me back to when I was younger and used to play it after school! It’s so fun! Exciting to share it with the new generation!
