Saw it at E3, the best they could tell me was December 2010. If I had to guess, I would expect it right before Black Friday, around November 16th. A lot of publishers try to time their games right around then...

I've looked into it and it looks very interesting. There's a bit of buzz going around about how the visual style feels slightly steampunkish.

I hope the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride makes it into the game. That would be the best tribute and the most appropriate "steampunk" offering they could do.

I may try it. Disney definitely seems to be paying more attention to the right stuff after Kingdom Hearts' success. And make no mistake, no matter what else is said, KH really is to thank for this game's existence.

Even more interesting. Yea I think it goes both ways. I mean Japanese ppl love Disney stuff already too much lol and Americans know what these characters so I mean I guess kh brought out a lot more ppl cuz of both factors. FF and Disney in one?! Omaga?! That's what I said when I first played it lol

The Japanese like Disney, but Americans love Disney much more.  Kingdom Hearts did much better in America than Japan... but America is such a big audience that it's worth it for them to think of what we want.

Any way here is the plot of Epic Mickey.

A long time ago, the sorcerer Yen Sid created a Disney theme park themed pen-and-paper world called the Cartoon Wasteland for his forgotten and rejected creations, held in an intricate model on a table, and accessible through a mirror. Mickey, who steps through a mirror from his home and finds himself inside Yen Sid's study, sees the model, and waits until Yen Sid is gone before going back to take another look at it. Fiddling with it, Mickey accidentally spills paint and paint thinner onto the model. Hearing Yen Sid approaching, Mickey quickly cleans up and flees back to his home. However, the spill of paint and paint thinner creates a being called the Phantom Blot, who attempts to take control of the Wasteland from its first resident and Mickey's older half-brother - Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Oswald and the other residents of the Cartoon Wasteland fight against the Phantom Blot, but he eventually overwhelms them and twists their world into a dark and sinister version of itself, forcing Oswald into hiding.
Years later, Mickey has forgotten his past transgression until the mirror in his home comes to life and pulls him into the Cartoon Wasteland. Oswald, his will lost and twisted by his jealousy of Mickey's rise to fame, has formulated a plan to destroy Mickey. The Mad Doctor works closely with the Blot, creating robotic "Beetleworx", which are strange creatures that consist of combinations of various Disney cartoon characters. He also creates animatronic "buddies" for Oswald, looking like decrepit robotic versions of Mickey's friends, as Oswald wants Mickey's life and popularity for himself. Armed with a magical paintbrush that he managed to pull into the world with him, Mickey must stop the Phantom Blot, gain Oswald's trust and save the Cartoon Wasteland.

Their was another part that involves the heart none of the characters in the wasteland have a heart and the villains want Mickey's heart which is very powerful to trap Mickey inside and for the villains to leave the Wasteland.

The haunted mansion will also appear in the game as the home of the Mad Doctor.

Gahhh, they're milking the "Yen Sid" thing again... I considered that a pretty cheesy name/idea in KH2.

Oh well. I don't necessarily expect a fantastic story in this game, but just being able to revisit some of these bygone settings will be quite interesting in and of itself.

Do you even know the plot of the game Radien?

I'm assuming it's the same Yen Sid as the one in Kingdom Hearts 2; the one who was the sorcerer from Fantasia's The Sorcerer's Apprentice (he didn't have a named before KH2). But even if it isn't, they're milking the name, and the joke. For anyone who hasn't noticed, Yen Sid is "Disney" spelled backwards. I don't have to know much about Epic Mickey's plot to say that they're milking that name.

Preliminary covers are quite common. I would wait awhile before giving up on the idea of an alternate cover.

But regardless, the cover won't affect the game, which you've already decided to buy.  :)

Well the cover would make sense since it appear in the E3 trailer.

This game is also place style matter meaning you could make your own choices and how it would affect the game.
