Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two
THE HIT Wii game goes multiplatform in Disney Epic Mickey 2. Following on from the first game, the sequel sees the Mad Doctor return to Wasteland. The former baddie turns to the good side and offers to help the residents of Wasteland rebuild and repair their homes to make amends for all his bad deeds.
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit agrees to work with the doctor but begins to notice that Wasteland is suffering even more damage than before. Now suspicious of the doctor’s ‘good deeds’, Oswald and Mickey join forces to uncover the truth.
The biggest change is the addition of a second character Oswald, who helps the player through the game. Oswald can be controlled by a second player or by the computer. While Mickey still utilises the paintbrush, Oswald uses a remote control that fights and befriends enemies.
