  There’s definitely some promise buried deep beneath Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two’s surface drudgery, but this needless PlayStation Vita port fails to uncover it any better than its PS3 counterpart. In fact, the underwhelming adventure actually fares worse on Sony’s pocketable platform, delivering a framerate that flirts with single digits and some pretty inconsequential touch screen features.

  Disney’s Epic Mickey: The Power of Two is a big, ambitious blunder of a game that very occasionally sings with inspired ideas. Its transition to the Vita brings little other than touch screen control and a more attractive game-world, but a very reasonable price – $29.99USD – might be an attractive deal to Vita owners hungry for something to whet their nostalgic appetite.

  While yes the game is fun, has memorable characters, a huge amount of content, the rescuing of imprisoned Gremlins and damn good voice acting; it has some major flaws too. The frame-rate and the limited multiplayer weigh heavily in the flaw category. All said though, it’s a good game with some flaws – and again for all platform fans and/or Disney fans it’s a must have.

  4.0

  Ultimately, this Wii U version of Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two fails to utilise the potential of the system or its controller. There's a small mercy in the form of a useful map and hotkeys on the GamePad screen, yet other elements of the controls feel worse than on Wii due to performance issues.

  5.0

  The game looks and sounds great; especially thanks to the frequent cut scenes and Disney’s trademark musical comedy pieces. Despite what criticisms I have, kids will probably still really enjoy this game and the ability to play local co-op should lead to some mild family fun. Average is disappointing for Epic Mickey 2 though because the potential here is huge, but it remains untapped.

  4.0

  Epic Mickey 2 represents a big drop in quality over its predecessor. Given the switch from the relatively underpowered Wii, that just shouldn’t be the case. Stepping away from the innovative core of the previous title has lumbered this sequel in sub-standard platform land, making it difficult for us to recommend.
