Disney Epic Mickey: Prima Official Game Guide

 (12 customer reviews)

This game has an immense amount of hidden items to find and this guide is great at getting you to them. The walkthrough is for the most part detailed and good, but it is heavily disorganized requiring a lot of page flipping. At times you'll find yourself reading whole sections before resuming play. There are entire sections which could simply be summarized by a couple of diagrams or screen shots.

On the positives: it really gets you going on all the basics, showing you all the controls and basic structure of the game. The table of content is quite good. Screen shots and maps, when provided, are excellent; however, part of the excessive length is that the guide puts almost everything into words.

There is also a few moments in the game where using Paint vs Thinner creates two very different experiences but they are not both covered, i.e. The very first boss battle (the small world clock tower) utilizes two very different strategies to win the battle. The joke is that no one saves the clock tower, we didn't expect the game guide to completely agree and exclude strategies for painting it.

For a guide that promises 100% completion, it really feels rushed, and that the authors themselves didn't...Read more

Never having bought a game guide before, I had no expectations of what one might be like. But from now on, I believe other game guides will have quite a high bar to jump to surpass this guide. It is literally step-by-step, full-graphic-pictures, hidden-goodies-included, wonderfulness!! I was able to play the game with this book in my lap without missing a beat. Really cool.
