Yes this icon again, but it's appropriate  
I have at last finished playing Epic Mickey! (Yes, I did get through it quickly, if for no other reason than my time with the Wii is limited.) Since I'm already going to be blabbing teal deer enough about the game with the final thoughts, I'll just sum up what I thought of the rest of it really quick-like:

- Bog Easy was neat!
- Madame Leota was pretty sweet. THANKS FOR KILLING THAT GIANT BLOTLING FOR ME, LEOTA.
- ARRRGH I'm glad I released those two extra gremlins, because that Mad Doctor boss battle was nerve-wracking. I'm terrible with using the sketches, which is what was needed in that area. 8(
- Did whole bunches of sidequests before going on to the rest.
- Arrrgh had to do the battle against the Blot several times over...
- PLATFORMING PLATFORMING GEEZUS THE RIDICULOUS NEVERENDING PLATFORMING
- Even though I didn't get hurt at all, that "skydiver" part was really unsettling in kind of the same way the final area of Keyblade Graveyard was really unsettling.
- ARRRGH WOMB LEVEL. SO MUCH CURSING AND SWEARING I DON'T EVEN. AASDKSAJDLASJKD
- Awwwww, sweet ending! Yay happiness for all! :D

ALRIGHTY and now the final thoughts:

Overall? If you're a big Disney nerd (especially of the parks and oldschool Disney), if you enjoy platformers or enjoy challenging games in general, then you'd enjoy it. But if you're not much of a Disney nerd or hate platforming, then...yeah, don't bother. It is really not worth it to fight your way through the many frustrating parts if you're not into the nostalgia and nerdery that goes along with the characters and story. And, at least from my perspective, I feel like they didn't go far enough with the forgotten-Disney nostalgia...there were a bunch of things I was expecting to see but missed, or just things they could have elaborated on but didn't. True, I guess they had to keep the focus on Mickey and Oswald, and that leaves plenty of stuff for sequels. But for me personally, I got less on that front than I was expecting. :( I'd say I would pick up a sequel, but only if I was certain that a lot of this playage frustration and camera problems were fixed, and that there was more content I wanted. Just...want to make sure I'm not going to die over it first. 8(
