Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two

Epic Mickey 3 Could be a “Full-Blown Interactive Musical Game”

Though we don’t know too much about them, Epic Mickey 2 will feature musical levels. Just a few of them. But according to Warren Spector that’s just the beginning. Epic Mickey 3 could be “full-blown interactive musical game.” 

Discussing the series, Spector said he has a three-stage plan whenever he begins working on a property. “One of the parts of my process is I figure out a three-story arc, like a narrative arc, and then I figure out, ‘Okay, if we get lucky enough to do more than one game set in this world, what’s the game innovation?,” he said.

“What’s the new thing in the first one? What would the new thing be in the second game? What would the new thing be in the third?’”

Spector continued, “This time around, in the second game, I just wanted to take a baby-step to making the full-blown interactive musical game. This is not it. Gamers, you tell ’em there are songs in the game and they start getting panicked, but I just want to see if people will accept songs in games and, if they do, next time I’m going crazy. 

"People don’t even know what’s gonna hit ’em."

Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is due out in November.

Wasn't there a musical games on the PS1? Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure or something where the entirety of the game was sung. It was featured on X-Play at one point, way back when.

As long as the songs are well composed, you'll have no objections from myself. I've said it before, if you can tell a story with song effectively, that's a great talent that I have a lot of respect for.

Makes sense considering it's Disney, and you're never too old or too straight to appreciate their numbers. Hell, even the RZA couldn't resist samplin Disney in his early days. I just hope they get someone who knows what they're doing to compose, we can do without some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or Jonas Brothers shit, it needs to be more in line with Nightmare Before Christmas or the Lion King (although I certainly ain't expecting Danny Elfman or Hans Zimmer)

I still don't know why these games are not more like the AMAZING concept art seen a few years ago.

I've played the first Epic Mickey and I was really excited for it, but the controls especially when Mickey jumped were pretty bad. I got really frustrated with it. I just hope they put some time into fixing that.
