Tried the 360 demo about a week ago. Didn't seem like they tried at all.
Getting excited about concept art is always a bad idea.Those early (pre-first game) concept art sketches promised so much...
These ones:
Can't help to laugh remembering the slaughter that was that Epic Mickey thread filled with port begging.

Here's an interesting tidbit: The guy, who came up with the original concept of Epic Micky was Sean Vanaman. He talks about it in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=uMxmjuzc7jY It's an interesting story. Worth listening to, imo.
He recently got his big break and became co-lead designer/writer for The Walking Dead game. His game is one of the biggest nominations for this year's GOTY awards.
Too bad no one will know that he came up with the brilliant concept/story of Epic Mickey, aka the only good part about it.
Jesus, the slow camera speed was a big problem in EM 1 too. I always felt like itd mask some of its problems if the damn thing responded quicker.Well, at least the EM2 demo was a pretty good warning about the final game:
- slow camera speed
- terrible move controls
- boring gameplay
Also it's a coop game. Oswald's IA is terrible.
You mean that one time. The guy gets way more credit than he's actually earned.I remember when Warren Spector used to be a mark of a great game...

That was never what the firggin game was supposed to be. It was supposed to be a love letter to fans of Ub Iwerks and his contributions to Disney, such as firggin CREATING Mickey Mouse and hand-animating his cartoons alone in a room for weeks.
I seem to recall Ultima Underworld being very well liked and one of the most influential RPGs made, but either that means he's simply best with more serious first person adventures, or it means he's just a key component of a great team, but without that great team he doesn't really shine.You mean that one time.

Doesn't sound like it went so well.
I'm surprised Power of Illusion is only 90 minutes long...
I beat Power of Illusion in 3 hours and 12 minutes. The demo is misleading because it gives you a lot of sidequests that are from later in the game, there are not that many that fast when you play it. There are only 11 stages and 3 bosses. Just Intro castle, London skies peter pan, neverland jungle peter pan, captain hook's ship peter pan, captain hook boss. Next castle stage, Agrabah Aladdin, Cave of Wonders Aladdin, Deeper Cave Aladdin, Jafar snake boss. Underwater Castle stage, Little Mermaid ocean stage, Eric's Castle Little Mermaid, then crappy locked room enemy gauntlet ripped straight from Henry Hatsworth before fighting Misrabel which is Maleficent Dragon. I'm spoiling everything to spare you. It sucks. Don't buy it.

Playing Ultima Underworld when it was released it was a good game, but not all that special. There was a ton of first person RPGs at the time, and while it had freer movement I was more interested in games that were more mechanically dense. So maybe due to the way I experienced it, I don't give the credit it deserves, but it was more of a progression of existing concepts than a revolution.I seem to recall Ultima Underworld being very well liked and one of the most influential RPGs made, but either that means he's simply best with more serious first person adventures, or it means he's just a key component of a great team, but without that great team he doesn't really shine.
No Ursula boss, even?
Nope, it makes the game feel unfinished. There are only 2 Little Mermaid themed stages and yet Peter Pan and Aladdin get 3 each. Ursula is just another character you rescue who sits her fat ass in the castle and whines at you.

Hahaha and people were actually hoping this would be good.It kinda hurts because i forsee terrible star wars gaming coming now that Disney owns the franchise.
