Today Disney Epic Mickey hits store shelves and fans of both Warren Spector and Mickey Mouse couldn't be happier. Many people at G4 were anticipating its release, but Adam Sessler's high expectations for the new dark Disney fantasy were not only met, they were exceeded. In this week's Soapbox, The Sess explains what exactly is so intriguing and appealing about Mickey's return to video games and why he thinks we won't see another game like it for quite some time.

Basically it comes off as refreshing. It does things a little differently than normal, and is quite ambitious. He doesn't actually talk about the game aside from this, but I suppose that plus it being Mickey Mouse is enough. Can't wait to play!

I have always liked Sessler. You can tell he is a true gamer.

Yeah, he is truly excited for games. It doesn't just seem like his job, but something he would rather do over anything else. I like that. I value the Soapbox over just about any reviewer. (But Yahtzee tops in the lulz category.)

I always thought of Sessler as at least a competent journalist, even if the rest of G4 is a joke. After watching this video, I don't see a need to change my thinking.

It's true, the camera is has some moments where it's still in the N64 ages.

Heck, even using the paint/thinner mechanic can feel cumbersome at times.

But hot damn, this game is amazing. I mean, this game is truly a love letter to those who adore old school Disney. I just beat the first boss, and it was so perfect. (and to anyone who ever visited Disneyland/World/Paris/Tokyo will attest to this)

To anyone who adored Banjo-Kazooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day, or any of the action-platformers of old, this is a gamer for you. To anyone who has grown up with a love of Disney in his/her heart, this game is for you. To anyone who just wants to rediscover childhood magic, this game is for you.

DAWWWWWWW!

Haha, but honestly, I feel the same way. Actually, that description kind of works for Kingdom Hearts as well. I must have this!
