In a cup of orange juice.
It was released today. I picked up a collector's edition to find Mickey's right leg broken(Problem with a loan shark?), so I'll need to exchange it for another before I can play it.

For those that don't know, this is Warren Spector's game. Here's his Wiki link so you can familiarize yourself with his genius.
 
Been playing it. It's good, not spectacular. Biggest issue gameplay wise is both controls & the camera which often make death unavoidable. That being said everything else is so good it makes you persevere with its technical problems.
 
The camera controls aren't great, but they're not bothering me. I've definitely played games with worse. RE4 and Psychonaughts come to mind.

But yeah, I agree with your comment. I played it a couple of days ago. I'm going to get back on it tonight. DeathSpank:TOV grabbed some of my game time, as it finally just came out for the PC and on the same day as Epic Mickey, or else I would have been doing the Mickey thing.

None of Warren's games have had a smooth start for me, but they always grow on me to the point I can not forget them, so I'm hoping this game carries over some of that magic.

I bought one of those Mickey Nunchucks that looks like a paint brush. :eek:
 
I haven't played it myself, but the reviews of it have been quite good from what I've seen.
