Disney Epic Mickey, which before release had more hype and promise than any licensed game I can think of this year, just suffered the fate of my review. Absolutely one of the most frustrating games I have played – not because its all bad but because the elements of a good game are there but some major design flaws, monotonous quests, and simplistic level design keep this game from being anything special.

If you own a Wii and are looking for a good platforming game from this year, either for yourself or for a loved one, I suggest Super Mario Galaxy 2, Kirby’s Epic Yarn, and Donkey Kong Country Returns. Though Epic Mickey has some bright spots it’s not worth the frustration to find them.
