![]() Everything is reimagined from the backdrops, the enemies, and even certain scenarios like the giant apple chase. ![]() First up the graphics are well detailed and so damn gorgeous you simply wanna take your time to soak it all in. Sure with this newer, updated game we'd get better graphics and sound, but does that always make for a better game? In this case, it absolutely does. I was a little bit skeptical when it came to this remake because I was so in love with the original seriously, I think I wore my cart out to the point of no return, I played it so much. But until then, let's see how Mickey's updated adventure fares in the TOV Breakdown. But if you keep the original cel-shaded look with higher res graphics and improved sound… it would be out of this world. If Sega ever wants to re-imagine another Disney favorite, then might I suggest Aladdin? It was definitely better than its SNES cousin in terms of both graphics and sound. If you're a fan of the original, you'll certainly be pleased with the new music. This round you get a fully remastered orchestrated soundtrack that takes the original and takes it to a whole new level. There are also additional items you can track down such as playing cards and chili peppers, which unlock different costumes for Mickey.įinally, Castle of Illusion features a fully remastered soundtrack mind you the original music was great for its time and boasted one of the finest soundtracks on the Sega Genesis. All stages are locked until you complete a stage and collect enough diamonds, which are scattered about in each world, to open the next. In the original, the castle was more like a transition from stage to stage, but in this version the castle is fully realized and can be explored completely. And when you fully complete a stage (including defeating the level's boss), you'll be taken back to the castle where you'll unlock the next stage. The final boss will truly tax your fingers, but they're easy to defeat once you recognize their pattern of attack. Your main attack against the baddies is Mickey's "butt bounce", but you can also toss stage specific items at enemies such as apples, marbles, and wax candles. Each stage is an HD upgrade from its flat 16bit original, which now mixes 2D/2.5D platforming as well 3D elements of play, in an highly fleshed out world. ![]() Players will guide Mickey through five stages of play, each stage broken into three acts where the third act is the final boss. ![]() It's now all up to Mickey to brave the Castle of Illusion to rescue Minnie before Mizrabel sucks up her beauty. The story is the same but further fleshed out with a voice narration Mickey and Minnie Mouse were hanging out one day, until the evil witch Mizrabel spoils their fun, kidnapping Minnie and taking her to her castle. And much like DuckTales, I totally wasn't expecting it but I was pleased with the end results.Ĭastles of Illusion follows the same premise as its 16bit older sibling, but with much updated graphics, sounds and a few other enhancements to extend the fun and complete the experience. Now they've dipped into the 16bit era with a remake of their 1990s classic - Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse. Next up is Sega, whose previous digital updates ( Nights, Daytona USA) were most impressive HD updates and pleased the classic gamer in me. First out of the box was Capcom's DuckTales: Remastered I'll admit I was quite surprised by the announcement, but pleased by the outcome – and so was Alacran, who garnished the title with TOV 4 stars. September has shown to be quite the month for remastered throwbacks of classic gaming titles.
