Genre: Adventure Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Disney Interactive Players: 1 player Memory: 3 blocks ERSB: Everyone Presentation Magical Mirror is a kiddie game. Yeah for sure MM is made for kids. The game was designed primarily, not nearly, but totally, for children. And little ones will enjoy it. But guess what you will too. At the start of the game. Mickey is fast asleep in his bed, snoring away and mumbling to himself. But all of a sudden. His mirror comes alive and from inside appears a ghost, ready to cause some problems. Somehow Mickeys spirt(or something) gets up and follows the ghost through the mirror, and gets trapped on the other side, then the ghost breaks the magical mirror so that the Mickey cant return. The goal.... find all parts to the mirror and get Mickey home. Graphics The looks of the game is impressive in one way for adults. And thats the Mickey Mouse model. It is well-designed and brought to life with great cartoony animation. The camera works perfectly gets in on all the action. The environments at times dark and gloomy. Other times bright and colorful, and everything seems to fit right in this interactive Disney universe. There are some cut-scenes with disappointing textures. To big kids like with kids MM looks ok. But for the target audience the little kiddies. It just perfect. Sound Mickey voice sounds very sharp and the music is well Disney. Not much to say here but the tunes are catchy. And Mickey has the same gay sounding voice we all love. Sound is by far the strongest point of the game. Gameplay Gameplay includes a nice point and click style. That works well with little ones(my three year old plays). With nice little puzzles that sharpens the brain skills of children. But to that end, the game offers a little more diffucult puzzles and exploration. A great game to craft the skills of future gamers. Conclusion Nine times outta ten. If your over 10 years old you wont enjoy this game. But if you have kids or younger siblings. Or if you yourself are 10 or younger. This is a great game for you. For me it really brought out the kid inside. And that made it worth the buy alone. ~ditto~
