....ya, know, I thought this game was gonna flop, but it's at the hype I think it should be. The sheep don't seem to care about this game much either.

I forsee another 8.5. Though, I don't doubt it'll deserve much more. But this is Gamespot, where unique games aren't given the right to score well... especially if advertising revenue isn't very high.

The conspiracies? :Plocopatho

You can't deny that most highly hyped games that receive a lot of advertising generally do better than games that don't. ;)

I for one have yet to enjoy a highly hyped/advertised game this gen. At least to the same level of games I'd put in my "best of the generation" list.

I'm voting AAA, with the setting and characters, gameplay revolving around choices, and platforming/RG elements, all that Warren really needs to do is nail the combat and controls and it will be great.

Good - great? That's a good and optimistic attitude to have. I agree. Hope it is good, or even great.

If the combat and platforming hold up to the most recent and best platformers I wouldn't rule a score like that out.

I think even if the 3D platforming is about average it should still score highly because it's such an epic platformer.

Why isn't this locked? . . . .. . .

You know I kid, game is shaping up. Still think its looking like an A thus far though. 7.5'd to be exact. Would love to be wrong however.

Seems like this game has been completely forgotten what with DKCR. It releases this week in EU!

Anyway from what ive read on NeoGaf, some retailers in Europe are already selling the game. We should have some solid impressions soon.

Not really, its going both ways tbh.

In fact, right now the positive impressions seem to outwheght the average ones.

So far what i got is that if you love Disney, you'l love this game, the story, the characters and presentation in general. As far as gameplay goes, its more Banjo-Kazooie than Super Mario. Its a good adventure/exploration game with average platforming and some camera issues. Seems like its pretty charming as well.

The game will be released in Europe in two days, but will not be released until the 30th in North America. We should expect reviews from European sources like Eurogamer and EDGE soon.

To be fair, GAF isnt really like that. Port beggars and fanboys are the first to smashed by the mighty banhammer there.

The GAF users are not fanboy smashing either. Their complaints seem legit. Oh well, I know i'll like it.

I'll be buying it in about 10 hours, if i remember to wake up. The demo was pretty good, and Warren Spector rocks, so I'll go with an AA score prediction here.

I'm gonna say 7.5, and that is being generous for Gamespot. If a great polished experience like DKCR got an 8.5, the Mickey is doomed.

I really hope this turns out well, it's one of the top games on my xmas list(along with kirby and fable 3). Apparently ONM gave Mickey an 85%, i wonder what htey had to say about it though.

Warren Spector seems like such a nice guy. Hopefully his(and his teams) work pays off.

Epic Mickey is being called a throwback to Rare's N64-era adventure games like Banjo-Kazzooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day and Donkey Kong.

Yes, i said adventure games, cuz thats what those were, really. VERY enjoyable adventure games if i may add, so yeah, i'm perfectly fine with that :)
