    I already saw the scans of this game in a forum, though the scans were not that big so it was a little bad quality so I will wait for the GI issue to come out or wait for someone to find bigger scans.

    Anyway the game looks absolutely gorgeous and stunning, of course as expected it looks almost nothing much like what the concept art looked like,but that doesn’t matter.

    However from I could see, the scans only shows the “It’s a Small World” level which in real-life is one of the more colorful rides at the Disney parks. So who knows maybe there could still be levels in the game that,more or less,looks like the concept art or maybe not. Still this is a very beautiful looking game.

    Having already read these EM details at Gonintendo, these were that got my interest:
    - create/destroy the world as you go along
    - play the game as you like, either destroying everything in sight, or taking the hero’s route. It’s completely up to you, and you can mix-and-match play styles
    - Mickey’s appearance and stance will change based on the way you play the game
    - Pete returns, and at one point attacks you with a huge zepplin
    - Donald Duck animatronic pieces are scattered throughout one portion of the game. Collect them to put him back together.
    - Spector wants this game to scare kids, in some ways
    - Spector calls the game world’s visuals ‘the bastard child of Tim Burton and Disney’
    Warren Spector on Mickey

    “I want him to be a hero…and I want to remind him that it’s okay to behave badly.”

    Warren on the Buddies (Donald, Goofy, ect.)

    “Oswald is trying to recreate Mickey’s life, so he has the Mad Doctor build these animatronic versions of his buddies.”

    I hope characters from “The Great Mouse Detective” will be in this game. Its my favorite underrated Disney movie ever.
