About the Game

Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is the sequel to Disney Epic Mickey . Just like the first game it is a platformer and the story picks up after the events of the first game. Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and the other characters from the Wasteland start rebuilding their world, when it is threatened by a series of earthquake. The Mad Doctor (always speaking in song) and Oswald team up, and Mickey Mouse, the protagonist of the original game, is brought back in the Wasteland world by Gus, the leader of the Gremlins, and Ortensia, Oswald's girlfriend.

Gameplay & Core Systems

He is either controlled by the computer or entirely by a different player. The game also supports a drop-in, drop-out system for the second player.

Paint can also be used to befriend or attack characters. Oswald attacks with a boomerang (using his arms) for ranged combat.
