If you and your kids are fans of Mickey Mouse, then this is a must play.įrankly, the only reason I can see why you WOULDN’T need to play it is if you have some weird moral issue with Disney. This might be frustrating to children who aren’t very good with patterns yet, but this is a great way to practice. Each time you manage to jump on a bosses head the pattern changes slightly. The boss fights at the end of each level are built around pattern recognition. For example, in one level you will be traveling along in a level that is not unlike any Mario or Mega Man game that you have seen, until the game shifts perspectives to 3D and gives Mickey more freedom to move. The game does, however, regularly shift perspectives in the middle of levels which can be very difficult for even the most experienced players. So children will have no problem figuring out how to move around. Kids may enjoy themselves while they play, but this is definitely a challenging game. If they can watch that, then they should have no trouble playing this game. The game was released on PlayStation Network, Xbox. The game is a remake of the original 1990 Sega Genesis video game of the same name, which was the first title in the Illusion series of Mickey Mouse video games. Some of the masters of illusion are a little intense, but this is as tame as your average Mickey Mouse cartoon.

Everything felt new and interesting throughout.Ĭastle of Illusion is completely safe for kids. The game is a bit on the short side, but I never felt like I was being rushed to the end, or held back by repetitive levels. It felt like I was playing inside a living storybook. The game is fully voice acted, and the narrator is amazing. You control Mickey as he tries to rescue her. She kidnaps Minnie and brings her to the titular Castle of Illusion. Mickey and Minnie go for a picnic only to be waylaid by the evil witch Mizrabel. I caught myself smiling more than once even while I was struggling with some of the more challenging parts of the game. The developers managed to capture the essence of the original (that was published on the Sega Genesis) and breathed new life into it through updated visuals and modern level design.Ĭastle of Illusion’s greatest strength comes from pure whimsy.
