EPIC MICKEY 2: THE POWER OF TWO (XBOX 360 X360)

Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is the sequel to Disney Epic Mickey. Much like the first game, it's a platformer and the story picks up after the events of the first game. Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and the other characters in the Wasteland begin to rebuild their world, when it's threatened by a series of earthquake. The Mad Doctor (still speaking in song) and Oswald team up, and Mickey Mouse, the original game's protagonist, is brought back to the Wasteland world by Gus, the leader of the Gremlins, and Ortensia, Oswald's girlfriend.

Unlike the first game, here Oswald and the Mad Doctor are on Mickey's side. More so, Oswald becomes a supporting character for Mickey, as referenced in the title. It is either controlled by the computer or entirely by another player. The game also supports a drop-in, drop-out system for the second player. As in the first game, the most important way for Mickey to interact with the environment is through paint and thinner with a separately controlled reticle. Thinner is used to erase parts in the environment, while paint can restore parts of the scenery. Paint can also be used to befriend or attack characters. Oswald attacks with a boomerang (using his arms) for ranged combat. He also has a remote control for zapping enemies or charging objects into environments, and can remove his legs. Plus, he can spin his ears to hover in the air and lift Mickey over gaps. He can also revive Mickey and be brought back again with a party button. In many sequences, the two must work together to solve puzzles. For example, Mickey can drag fireworks to a specific location and then ask Oswald to light them.
