Epic Mickey 2: Return of the Hero - Review Vita

After a pretty good first episode, under the auspices of Warren Spector, Epic Mickey came back last year with a second album, and multiplatform this time. A Wii U version is available recently, and it is now the turn of the PS Vita to get its version of Epic Mickey 2.

We will not go back over the entire test track that has already been done by Riggs late last year. Be aware though that the title puts you in the shoes of Mickey, who has to go help his friends toons in turmoil. It has a magic brush that allows you to either make the color to objects or make them invisible. This is the core gameplay that allow you to solve small puzzles, find secret passages, but also to face your enemies. The real novelty of the title consists of the arrival of Oswald the Rabbit, which brings new moves and new opportunities. A little more fun, which will take its full extent in multi parties had-oc, since solo character will be managed by AI.

Apart from that, the qualities are known. They primarily reside in the proper use of the Disney universe that is fun to explore, and a soundtrack very well made. Unfortunately, many shadow points tarnish the table as a reluctant camera (too bad for a platform game), or shares a bit confused where you can not easily understand what is required of us. The story does not offer much either, I'm personally lost me very quickly, and it follows the course of the scenario without really understanding the ins and outs.

Graphically the title like the road, especially on the screen of the PS Vita, but it still does not reach the very best in the genre. Moreover, there are some defects in collision, and small bugs when sending Mickey on areas that are not supposed to reach. As for the Wii U, has obviously been used touch screen of the Vita but we can pretty much play joysticks if desired.

Conclusion:

In the end, this Epic Mickey 2 version has nothing special, and the title remains average, with strengths and weaknesses. The price is around € 30 should still convince some to try this adventure.
