As an animator myself, I always reference the Mickey's jump animation from the original game as the gold standard, which makes this remake all the more disappointing for me. The original game got jumping so right, down to the animation where Mickey's foot always pointed at where his jump was taking him. I was always running face first into enemies when I know I pressed jump, but Mickey didn't jump. Adding even more harm to jumping is the fact that there seems to be something off with the game detecting the player pressing the jump button. In addition the jump is super sensitive to joystick movement the tiniest deviation will suddenly switch the direction of his jump which led me more often than not to weird under/over corrections constantly leading to missing the edges of platforms and inadvertently coming down in front of enemies and getting hit.

For starters, Mickey's jump has no momentum when you jump he will instantly stop forward movement in mid jump if you let up on the controls. Since this is a platformer, the jumping mechanic needs to be spot on and it is not even close. That said, I find the controls to be extremely frustrating and I have been playing games (including the original Genesis game which I adore) since the Atari 2600. The game looks great, I will give it that much and the added voice narration is a nice touch. That Beautiful game marred by poor controls.

… Expandīeautiful game marred by poor controls. Bad - *A bit short *Difficulty spikes combined with slightly floaty controls and lead to occasional frustration.

I ther's any negatives it's the difficulty spikes and shortness of the game however the game is very replayable with lost of things to find and collect. Switching between 2D and 3D sections as the game does could have been a disaster but works well. Level design is also excellent with plenty of surprises and hidden areas. The graphics are just lovely and the levels burst with colour and personality. They're a bit floaty but one I got used to them it wasn't a real problem. I must admit that when I first played it the controls didn't feel quite right. The original Castle of Illusion was one of the few classic Megadrive platformers that I missed back in the day so this remake was the perfect The original Castle of Illusion was one of the few classic Megadrive platformers that I missed back in the day so this remake was the perfect chance to catch up! I obviously can't compare it to the original but I do know that this is a fine platformer with a very modern feel. The minute that we beat the game we started a second playthrough. This was a great purchase for $15 and I highly recommend it to anyone that played the original, anyone that is a big Disney fan, or any father/mother looking to have a fun gaming experience with their son or daughter. I hadn't played a true platformer in years and forgot how much fun they could be. The final boss fight against the witch took me about 15-20 tries, but was extremely satisfying once we beat her. I thought that the controls were tight and easy to handle, and what a joy to play a game with only two buttons for a change! Jump and throw, that's it! The story kept us intrigued and although it wasn't too hard, there were a few sections that almost had me throwing my controller, just like the good ole days. Each level is so unique and a complete blast to play. It took us probably about 4-5 hours to get through, which I thought was the perfect length. It was a little too tough for my daughter right now, so I basically played the entire thing with her glued to my side the whole time. The game is absolutely beautiful and a joy to look at. When this remake was released, I downloaded it mainly so that my 5 year old daughter (who loves Disney) and I could play it together. I absolutely LOVE this game! I've been a gamer since I got my Atari 2600 when I was 6 and even though I had a Sega Genesis, I never played I absolutely LOVE this game!
