You've seen Steamboat Willie. This is the black and white cartoon from 1928 that was Mickey Mouse's first appearance. Epic Mickey is a third-person adventure/platformer/RPG hybrid, but to get from Point A to Point B, you need to jump into old film reels and make it though 2D environments.

When Mickey jumped into Steamboat Willie, this game became certifiably cool.

This looked exactly like the cartoon – same camera angle, same 2D-ness, same visual look, a celluloid border rolling across the top of the screen – and that was awesome. The level itself was just some easy platforming with a collectible or two placed in an out of the way spot, but the real treat was the visuals and being in that iconic space.

I think they still need to work a bit on the 2D sections, the 16-bit platformers looked much better, or maybe it was my nostalgia filter working on me. Let's check.

Checked... Mickey is too small in the 2D sections!!! (edit: embeded video... great interface vgchartz...)
