14 DAY TRIAL // Warren Spector, the developer of the original Deus Ex who is now working on the Epic Mickey series, believes that the two games are very similar despite the fact that they are using very different styles and gameplay mechanics.
The developer stated, “Every problem can be addressed in multiple ways. The puzzle is not ‘How do I solve this problem?’ The puzzle is ‘How do I manipulate the environment in a way that’s going to get me more of what I want, so I get to do more of what I like to do’.”
The rules of both Deus Ex and Epic Mickey can be used and manipulated by the player to get almost any kind of result they want for the game world.
Thinking is crucial to both experiences and they both allow players to develop their style.
Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is set to arrive during 2012 on the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii.
