Our full review of Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed on Xbox is on the way, but it’s safe to say that this one should build on the original game nicely. Purple Lamp have chucked in some new visuals with Rebrushed, as well as improvements to the control scheme and UI. Let it be known, the heart of the original is still there – present and correct.
“No matter who you are, where you are, or how old you are, Mickey Mouse was part of your life at some point. That’s why we felt really responsible to provide you with the best Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed journey you can have.” – Warren Spector, Creative Director
