Premise: | A series of arcade games of various quality featuring Disney's number one animated star, Mickey Mouse |
Impressions: | I never was a really big fan, but most of these arcade games do the franchise justice. At worst they are run-of-the-mill, at best they are as fantastic as only Disney can produce. Get 'em and judge for yourself. |
