Disney Universe Good For Children

As much as I wanted it to be, this is not a game for me. In fact, if hearing the word Disney brings to mind musical steamboats, poison apples and animation at least 50 years old, this probably is not a game for you either. Thesis a Disney game, but in the Disney Channel sense...as opposed to the Mickey and the Beanstalk sense. I mention this not to demean the game, but to keep the expectations and perhaps hopesóofolder Disney fans in check and to illustrate what the game does embrace. This is not agama without its own magic. Indeed, for an audience that grew up withLilo and Stitch instead of Chabot and Mr. Toad, this universe is just as magical. Released for the Nintendo Wiki, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Disney Universe is an action-platform title that brings together some of Disney is most popular worlds.

There are 18 worlds, each based on its own universe, and you will explore them while wearing the costumes of characters from dozens of Disney franchises. Sadly, Salads Amigos is not one of them. I think Aim just old. Initially, that was one of my big complaints. Not the lack of Salads Amigos, but the fact that you are playing this game in a Mickey costume rather than actually playing as Mickey Mouse. It’s like the game asks, they, who is your favorite Disney character? Yeah, that’s good one. Here is a costume instead. 

You can just put it on your generic blue guy. Of course, I eventually came to appreciate the games intention. Virtual worlds have been created to allow people to experience Disney is universe for themselves, but the entire system soon goes awry, and it’s up to you to restore order. That means you replaying in costume because the entire game world is, in fact, simulated. You might thinkers I did that this would dilute the games magic. Aim not sure the presence of actual Disney characters would not have made this an exponentially more magical experience, but it actually works as is.

You are exploring worlds based on The Lion King, Alice in Wonderland, even live-action films like Pirates of the Caribbean. Pairing the designs with the story, Disney Universe does achieve the feel of an attraction gone wrong, a virtual Disneyland that needs repair. As an attraction should be, the game also looks pretty good, too. Disney Universe benefits from solid art design, especially in the more creative worlds such as Alice in Wonderland. It is not a technical showpiece or anything, but it looks a lot better than most of the games your kids play. Make no mistake, though...that is what this is.

Disney Universe is very much a kid’s game, and that is reflected in the game play. This is a button-mashing platform game, designed to be simple and straightforward. If you are looking to actually explore these Disney worlds, you will be disappointed to learn this game ( check this out ) is very linear. You just move from one objective to the next, and there is very little to do in between. But that said, there are a ton of objectives. Specifically, there are more than 50 levels and enough unlock able costumes to make a kiddies head explore.
