Sega revives the 90s Mickey Mouse platformer Castle Of Illusion for the HD age.
How does it compare to the beloved original?
Tread softly, Bean says, because you tread on my dreams.
Right from its opening moments, this newCastle Of Illusionushers in a sense of confidence and urgency.
Otherwise, this is jolly, bouncyCastle Of Illusionas we already know it.
Its an incidental moment in the original game, given an additional dramatic flourish here.
Its only when you compare the two stages directly that it becomes apparent how similar they really are.
The bosses have also been given a lick of modern paint.
Part of the third stage takes place in the shadow of a colossal stone Donald Duck statue.
As an undemanding yet engaging love letter to the 1990 original,Castle Of Illusionis highly recommended.
Castle Of Illusionis out on the 4th September on Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation web link and Steam.
