For what it's worth, I thought it was a solid game, despite the terrible reviews. I *didn't* like Epic Mickey 1 at all, thought that was terrible (and was expecting it to be great). This is just a solid platformer with a sort of...well, overworld/adventure mechanic where you're doing 'quests' to get things to get things to open up new areas, etc. It's not horrifically hard like these games often are, looks nice, and while it's not going to change your life, it's worth a buy if you like platformers IMO (heck, I had more fun with it than New Super Mario Bros. Wii, which I just finished)
