The game itself is far too easy & if you’re not collecting everything it is quite short. No detail has been dropped & thanks to the excellent controls it just as intuitive. The iOS version is perfectly done & holds up against its console/PC rivals. The music is Castle of Illusion is excellent & enhances the gameplay particularly against bosses. The guy is responsible for Banjo-Kazooie games, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Starfox Adventures, Viva Piñata, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning & many more. I mention his name because he is responsible for some of the best & most memorable music in gaming. Collecting everything in a level is an added challenge for the completionists out there.įinally the music has been re-worked by the one & only, Grant Kirkhope. Throughout the levels Mickey can also pick up gems that unlock other areas of the main hub (the castle), chilli peppers & playing cards to unlock other costumes for Mickey to wear. The touch screen controls work extremely well with your left thumb well placed to control a directional stick (which can be used anywhere on screen), your right thumb positioned well for a throw button & jump being done by tapping anywhere on screen. Mickey can also pick up projectiles to throw at other enemies or use to unlock chests. About This Game Mickey Mouse returns to star in Castle of Illusion, a fantastical reimagining of the Sega Genesis classic. Mickey’s main point of attack is his jumping…he can bounce on enemies to kill them & jump to higher platforms. This is pretty much the theme of the game…ease. The ends of level bosses are also a lot of fun to battle & rarely difficult. The levels are The Enchanted Forest, Toyland, The Storm, the Library & the Castle…each have 2 Acts & a boss battle leading to the end boss, Mizrabel.Įach level has different, interesting & challenging enemies & obstacles. Minnie Mouse has been kidnapped by the evil witch Mizrabel, and its up to Mickey Mouse to venture through the mysterious worlds of the Castle of Illusion. It is gorgeous to look at & the varieties in levels make it exciting to see what is coming up. It sticks to a side-scrolling style but uses 3D graphics & at times Mickey can move in every direction such as when solving puzzles. It was re-released in 2013 with a complete overhaul of the graphics. Now this is a remake of the original game that came out in 1990. It is up to Mickey to rescue her by traversing her castle to collect 7 rainbow gems which will build a bridge to the tower in which she is being held.
The story goes like this…Minnie is captured by the evil witch, Mizrabel who wants to steal Minne’s youth & beauty. To save his girlfriend Minnie from the wicked witch Mizrabel, Mickey must venture into the Castle of Illusion.
The story and main theme remain the same, but the game has its own unique levels and slightly different gameplay mechanics. One such game that manages to do a wonderful job is Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse. Sega's 8-bit systems received their own version of the Genesis' Disney platformer. Platformers games on the iPad can be a mixed bag…far too many fall short thanks to poor controls but more & more are getting better at it. Castle of Illusion currently costs £6.99 on the app store but I picked up when it was on sale for £2.99.
