It's a shame that didn't make it into the final game. The It's A Small World section is the only world that seems to stick with, as shown in concept art, Epic Mickey should and could have been. This would have made a great addition to that. Not that the first game is bad, great game really, but only rarely did I feel like I was exploring the dark world that the game was originally said to have.Master said:

Oh no. I tried to keep away from doing so but I do seem to be comma spamming again. :/Adsolution said:You seem to have a thing going now where you hate using periods, even in paragraph-long posts.![]()
It was toned down. It's A Small World and Mickey Junk Mountain are some of the area's where it kept true to the dramatic style. The mountain climbing gives you some sad vibes. Despite that it still ranks among my favourite Wii titles though. A good #10 maybe. The environments are gorgeous and the story is fantastic. It really does make you care about Wasteland and despite being toned down it does have its moments. Mickey finding an already set up house for him to live in when the day he comes he'll be forgotten. Probably my favourite part being that if you choose the negative options, the ending will quickly reflect upon them in between the happy cutscenes.Adsolution said:Though having never played the game, I always thought it had retained its dark, dramatic and artistic atmosphere. It's too bad to hear that that wasn't so.
Well I quoted Ad.Master said:@Keane, I believe that was directed at me, but, we're on the same boat regardless, it seems.
I never truly played through Epic Mickey, I looked at gameplay, and while it looked brilliant, barring the Clockwork Tower and a few other things, it didn't seem to stand out as much as it did when I first read about its initial premise.
I played a Demo of Epic Mickey 2 for PS3, and, yeah, it wasn't anything special at all.
