Spector Rats Out Disney's "Epic Mickey"

Sneak Peek game designer Warren Spector's upcoming Wii adventure "Epic Mickey", described as a sprawling mixture of adventure and platformer, wrapping up Disney's most famous mouse character in a story that spans the cartoon character's entire animated history.

The video game was designed by Spector's Junction Point, (purchased by Disney in 2007) exclusively for the Nintendo Wii home console.

Players will control 'Mickey Mouse' as he moves around "...a world devoid of color, painting it back to life..."

Premise revolves around 'forgotten' Disney toon characters, notably 'Oswald The Rabbit', that was pushed out of the spotlight by Mickey, 'Goofy' and 'Donald Duck'.

The newly released footage offers a glimpse of the "Epic Mickey" intro, which shows how the cartoon mouse accidentally creates the evil 'Phantom Blot' by spilling a pot of enchanted paint, owned by the sorcerer 'Yen Sid'.

Seizing the sorcerer's magic brush, Mickey attempts to undo the mess he's made, and save the residents of 'Cartoon Wasteland'.

"Epic Mickey" will be released later this year.
