There are clever puzzle sections and tricky platforming moments that require you to think and plan out your jumps. Simply put, Castle of Illusion is fun to play. What is presented here is gorgeous for a downloadable title. The graphical quality isn’t as good as huge blockbuster games, but that’s not what this is supposed to be. Another neat detail for keen-eyed Disney fans: several hidden Mickeys are scattered throughout the game–finding them is an added a bit of fun. Incidental animations, such as when Mickey reacts to an event that happens while playing, were also a nice touch. look like they could belong to a hand-drawn Disney feature). It’s clear that a lot of effort went into this game from the folks at Sega Studios Australia - the world is beautiful and crafted in the familiar Disney style (birds, backgrounds, etc. If you prefer the “real” classic music, there’s an option in the settings to have the original music play instead of the new - a nice touch for fans of the original game. The musical score has been updated, sounding more modern yet still maintaining that classic video game sound. And, while there isn’t much voice acting aside from the narrator, what is present is done fairly well. The story is told mainly through an off-screen narrator, who chimes in every so often with tidbits about Mickey’s adventure. The world feels alive and dangerous, with platforms crumbling without warning and elements of the background changing unexpectedly.
You can return to the castle whenever you want, and exploring it rewards the player with some extra goodies.Įach level has its own unique enemies and puzzles, making each area feel fresh. All of these levels are connected to a central hub, the castle. Along the way, Mickey finds himself in seven different areas in and around Mizrabel’s castle - an enchanted forest, a library, a storm, and so on. Of course, Mickey sets out to find Minnie before Mizrabel can perform her spell. The plot of Castle of Illusion is that Mizrabel, the witch from Snow White, kidnaps Minnie and holds her hostage in her castle (of illusion). Aside from that, most of the game seems almost lifted directly from its source material. The original game was a simple side-scrolling platformer, and this HD remake doesn’t stray too far from that they’ve upped the graphical quality, added some 3D-platforming sections, and revamped the musical score. Castle of Illusion is a remake of the 1990 game of the same name that was available on Sega Mega Drive. In Disney’s Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, it’s easy to jump right in and do just that. Sometimes it’s nice to just sit down, relax, and have some good old-fashioned video game fun.
