Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

It's just like an animated feature starring Mickey, only you get to control the mouse himself. Here's the story: One night, a mischievous ghost traps a sleepwalking Mickey Mouse in a magical mirror. Stuck in an alternate universe that strangely resembles his own house, Mickey yearns to get back through the mirror. Returning won't be easy, though--Mickey must first recover the broken mirror pieces that have been strewn about his house by the prankish poltergeist.

The simple yet elegant gameplay mechanics are accessible to younger gamers. You control a glove, pointing and clicking to guide Mickey to his next destination. Just as in an authentic Mickey cartoon, you will have to outwit enemies and pull gags. You will also be able to uncover special souvenirs, such as Pluto's collar or Minnie's bow, which are all displayed in Mickey's room at the end of the game. Mickey is highly expressive, reacting emotionally to what you do and what he encounters. He may express curiosity, get mad, fall down, run away, or stand his ground.

Mickey can receive extra help if you connect with Disney's Magical Quest Starring Mickey and Minnie for Game Boy Advance using the special GameCube/Game Boy Advance cable. A parent mode allows an adult and child to play along together, with the adult controlling Mickey.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Adventure Game, August 19, 2004

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Disney's Magical Mirror (Video Game)

I am shocked at how many people have given this game such a bad review. This is actually a good solid game that is a lot of fun. You play as Mickey Mouse in a "Myst" style game format (anyone remember Myst for the PC and Playstation?), where, yes it IS a point and click type game but far more interactive and spunky than Myst was. The graphics in this game are vibrant and smooth, doing thier job well to make you feel like you are in a Disney movie. Mickey is silly and happy throughout the game, saying cute things, or singing, or even doing a little dance type thing from time to time, depending on what kinds of things you are doing in the game. The environment is pretty interactive too, allowing you to check out a number of different things in each room. There are more things to do in this game than "point and click", however. Sometimes you will need to do things to trigger an event, such as riding a train, blowing out a candle, jumping on a bed, and much more. You can also do these "tricks" to cause events to happen which further your progress in the game, plus there are a few mini-games such as snowboarding where you actually control Mickey directly.
This is a great game for kids too because it is NOT VIOLENT which is becoming a rarity in games these days.
Overall I find this a delightful little adventure game for "kids" of all ages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great For Little Ones, February 4, 2004

I have to admit, for an adult, this game can get a little boring.

But my son absolutly LOVES this game as does my daughter. They are 3 and 1 respectively. This is the target audience and I wish developers would make more games aimed at this market.

The game plays like a point and click PC game, so it seems out of place on a console; but, that being said, it is aimed at young children who just don't get the controller.

The game offers two modes, Normal and Kids. In Kid mode, Mickey will automatically move after a few seconds if the child fails to press a button. Why is this good? I have actually turned the game on, disconnected the controller, and allowed the game to play as a DVD!

What's more, Mickey's move choices are random, so it's never the same 'movie' twice! My son actually likes to have me play while he watches. He tells me what to have Mickey do next, and we watch the show.

THIS IS A GREAT TITLE FOR FAMILIES WITH LITTLE CHILDREN.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 4 year old loves it, March 2, 2003

My four year old son loves this game, the violence is minimal, the graphics and sound very good. I love that the game has different "modes", "Small Kids" and "Normal" - my son used the "Kids" mode for a day until he figured it out, and now only uses the normal mode where he has to get the right points/keys/etc and performs under time (he does use the "kids" mode now to try and teach our two year old daughter - she LOVES Mickey). I also love the "older kid" kind of activities he gets to test, such as the snow boarding and plane flying. This was his first GameCube experience and I am sure glad we went this route, his GameBoy Advance can hook up, there seem to be more titles for young kids (though it is pretty hard to really figure out which ones the young kids may find suitable - wouldn't it be nice if you could rate these games by ages and reading levels?), the ability to do multiplayer (other games), and the price...
