More On: Epic Mickey
It's not often you get to be Mickey Mouse, but in Disney Epic Mickey it looks like you'll get to spend some time in the shoes that built the House of Mouse. In this second part of the trailer, Mickey comes out of his hangover to realize he can't remember the last 24 hours. Oops, I mean he wakes up in Wasteland as a prisoner of The Mad Doctor. It looks like an interesting game. Maybe not one I'd pick up for me, but the wife might be into it.

Disney Epic Mickeyis an action-adventure platforming game for the Wii console that sends Mickey Mouse on an epic journey of creativity and discovery. As Mickey, the player is propelled into Wasteland, an alternate world made up of Disney’s long forgotten characters and attractions, and is given the power to wield paint and paint thinner to dynamically change the world while determining Mickey’s path to becoming an epic hero.

Through the use of this unique paint and paint thinner, the key components of animation and Mickey’s tools for impacting his world, players will have the ability to shape how the story unfolds as they discover the concept of “Playstyle Matters” – an innovative style of gameplay created by Disney Interactive Studios’ Junction Point, led by industry luminary Warren Spector, where players creatively tackle different challenges in the world to explore all the possibilities and storylines – but with consequences for their chosen actions.
