It now appears that the game has already been released in Europe, and the reviews are now starting to trickle in.

I thought I would take a look at one of the reviews, coming from Matt Wales over at uk.wii.ign.com. The review looks quite promising right from the start, describing the game as the most thoroughly charming and strikingly original adventure to hit the Nintendo Wii.

“Disney Epic Mickey” may be a traditional platform game at heart, but the developer – Junction Point Studios – has definitely made it their own. The game’s Wasteland is divided into three different map-types, which all offer their own unique play style.

Action Maps – which form the bulk of the “Epic Mickey” game – offer gamers more focused platform challenges, while Hub Maps provide players with unrushed exploration and Travel Maps deliver side-scrolling platform sequences based upon Disney cartoons.

There are two main downsides pointed out in this review, and that is the camera and the controls. However, it does give the game an impressive overall rating of 8 out of 10. Have you played the “Disney Epic Mickey” game yet? If you have, what are your first impressions?

Today we can confirm that the exact release date has been set for November 30, 2010.

CS Monitor has reported out a few more details about Epic Mickey, a game that sees you guide the Disney character around a world darker than Mickey is normally used to. The only weapons you will have are paint thinner and a paintbrush, which you use to destroy those that get in your path and to create new objects.

Disney wants to re-launch the icon, as we know the cute and cuddly cartoon, and turn him into a warrior fighting in a “cemetery of faded cartoon icons”. We love the idea of Epic Mickey, and it seems gamers of all background share that love.

You can see the Epic Mickey trailer on ew.com, which gives us the impression that this game is a cross between Disney and Super Mario Galaxy. The controls with the Wii should be fun, and lets hope they have Donald in the game. What characters would you like to see in this dark world? Will you be buying Epic Mickey?
