Disney's Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two has arrived on the PlayStation Vita, seven months after its console debut last year (read our original review here ). The portable version adds a clutch of Vita-specific features to the formula, but otherwise this remains the game we're familiar with; a...

Charming aesthetic; Opens up in co-op

Repetitive objectives; Unresponsive A.I; Camera issues

Nobody knew quite what to make of Disney Epic Mickey when its strange and unusual concept art first hit the internet years ago. Upon release, Junction Point's compelling exploration of lost and forgotten cartoon characters inhabiting a dark reflection of Disneyland called Wasteland suddenly being...

Brilliant art design finally in HD; Top notch presentation and voice acting; Oswald's abilities allow for more varied and complex puzzle design; Much-improved camera; Tons of stuff to do

Oswald's AI can be frustrating in time-critical situations

Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two centers on intertwined themes of creation and destruction. Wielding a magical paintbrush, Disney's mascot runs through the crumbling Wasteland, conjuring pieces to make whole the fragmented land or erasing the few structures that still stand tall.

Delightful story told through song Bountiful surprises from Disney's rich history

Oswald is an utter moron who actively hinders your progress Lousy jumping mechanics Tedious combat Poorly explained objectives

Bad A disaster. Any good qualities it might have had are quickly swallowed up by glitches, poor design choices or a plethora of other issues. The desperate or the gullible may find a glimmer of fun hidden somewhere in the pit.

Mickey is called back to Cartoon Wasteland to help out with some issues the place is having. This time around he's got a new companion to help him literally paint the town (yes, I went there).

Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is a videogame that will take you on a magical journey into Wasteland, it will invoke long-forgotten memories from your past of early mornings spent watching cartoons and allow you to explore a beautifully created world with the unbridled enthusiasm of a child...

Mickey returns to his world of paint and thinner, and it's up to you to guide him through it and defeat the forces of evil.

should've been a fantastic cooperative adventure for Disney fans of all ages. It should've featured a compelling world, a great co-op gameplay dynamic, and a lengthy, memorable adventure that elicits smiles from players.

Oh, Mickey and Oswald. I wish I could quit you… nah, nevermind. I didn't know how much I actually knew about the magical world of Disney until I was at Disney World a few weeks ago to preview this game.

Though its heart is in the right place, Disney's follow up remains highly flawed.
