![]() ![]() Acquiring the necessary amount is rather easy as it only takes around 400 gems to finish the game and I suspect that most players will easily reach it. The game also tries to mimic Mario 64 as a specific number of diamonds plus a rainbow gem. The library is another awesome example as books jump off the shelves and slide back in. The best level that exemplifies this is when Mickey ascends the clock tower as gears move in and out. When it goes 2.5 really show cases the remade design as things move in and out. The 3D segments aren’t bad, just a tad clumsy as it’s a little hard to tell where Mickey is in the space. I’ve found picking up all the diamonds is the main challenge. Most of the game is in 2D and Mickey runs and jumps from the left side to the right (pure classic comfort gameplay), picking up every 75 diamonds (no extra life for a full 100 as there are not that many in each level) and hidden items. Gameplay is, of course, classic platforming and moves, somewhat easily, from 2D to 2.5D to full 3D and back. It’s not as catchy as its 16-bit counterpart and lacks part of its charm. Fans of the original game, such as myself, will find the remade music in full non-chiptune sound will be pleasantly surprised. And the sounds are all in the proper places. Musically, the game is pleasant and easy on the ears. A perfect example of this is when he is swinging from lamp from lamp and he says “Oh, c’mon!” Such moments are few and far between. Or have Mickey comment about what’s going on. Let the game speak the atmosphere, draw one in. Plus, there are comments from an unknown narrator who provides “color” of the scene. The original game had them swirling in the forest as I watched Mizrabel kidnapped in the forest. ![]() It’s just a solid platformer that’s short, something that can be beaten in a few quiet evenings and a few more if your inner completionist gets channeled.Īnyway, the story is not very well told as there are not cutscenes–just still pictures with voice overs. Tell me, is that an easy thing to resist? So no, I didn’t resist it.Īnd it isn’t like the demo is a massive let down –or even a let up. The deal was a little hard to resist: game, original Genesis game, and an active wallpaper for 15. Last weekend, I picked up a copy of the remake of The Castle of Illusion Starring Micky Mouse on PSN. A remake of the game was developed by Sega Studios Australia and released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in 2013.Castle of Illusion (PSN remake) Posted: Ap| Author: psychphan | Filed under: PS3, Reviews, Video Games | Tags: Castle of Illusion, Castle of Illusion review, Genesis game, PSN, reviews, Video games | Leave a comment The games were altered and are slightly different adaptations of the original version for the Genesis due to the limitations of the Master System and Game Gear hardware. The success of Castle of Illusion for the Sega Genesis led Sega to develop ports of the game for the Master System and Game Gear. The success of the game spawned a series of Disney licensed games developed exclusively for Sega consoles, with the sequel being World of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck followed by spin-offs Land of Illusion and Legend of Illusion. The game launched before Sonic the Hedgehog and before Sega had a mascot to promote their system. The game was one of the first licensed exclusives for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive and was heavily promoted by Sega in an effort to enhance system sales. The gems are kept within various illusion fantasy worlds and are guarded by the Masters of Illusion, Mizrabel’s henchmen. Mizrabel kidnaps Minnie as she wants to steal her youth and Mickey must find the Seven Gems of the Rainbow in order to be able to rescue Minnie. Players take control of Mickey Mouse on a quest to rescue Minnie Mouse from an evil witch named Mizrabel. It is the first game in the Illusion series which follows the adventures of Mickey Mouse and in some occasions Donald Duck in various fantasy worlds. Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse is a platforming video game developed by Sega R&D2 and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive home console. ![]()
