I bought this game for my 5 year old triplets. The cursor doesn't always respond well, and is very frustrating. The games "childrens mode" is actually more frustrating than the normal mode, as it doesn't have the hint icon. The game occasionally plays a cartoon for up to 5 minutes that you cannot move past until it finishes, which frustrated my kids and myself to no end. The childrens mode sometimes moves automatically, and sometimes goes to the same rooms over and over again. The "ghost" terrifies my kids. We all strongly dislike this game, very very frustrating on all levels. A total waste of $40.

I just bought this game about a week ago and Its great to just play through and relax. The graphics I think are pretty much average compared to any other gamecube game. One thing I thought was amazing is they actually have a cartoon playing briefly during the game and the picture was crystal clear. I think its worth the money if you can get it on sale like I did. But if you spend more than 15-20 dollars on it you may be disappointed. Check your local ToysRUs. Another plus if you have any children is that there is a separate mode for them as well thats timed to be an hour long. Mostly the game is walking around through rooms finding items but some mini games are included as well. Happy gaming :).

When I first got this game it looked fun but when I played it for the first time is was horrible. The graphics are bad. I didn't even know how to play it even after looking at the instruction manual. Even in the middle of the game, it would pause without me going to the main menu. I would never buy it again, even if someone paid me. Do not waste your money on it.

I am shocked at how many people have given this game such a bad review. This is actually a good solid game that is a lot of fun. You play as Mickey Mouse in a "Myst" style game format (anyone remember Myst for the PC and Playstation?), where, yes it IS a point and click type game but far more interactive and spunky than Myst was. The graphics in this game are vibrant and smooth, doing thier job well to make you feel like you are in a Disney movie. Mickey is silly and happy throughout the game, saying cute things, or singing, or even doing a little dance type thing from time to time, depending on what kinds of things you are doing in the game. The environment is pretty interactive too, allowing you to check out a number of different things in each room. There are more things to do in this game than "point and click", however. Sometimes you will need to do things to trigger an event, such as riding a train, blowing out a candle, jumping on a bed, and much more. You can also do these "tricks" to cause events to happen which further your progress in the game, plus there are a few mini-games such as snowboarding where you actually control Mickey directly.
This is a great game for kids too because it is NOT VIOLENT which is becoming a rarity in games these days.
Overall I find this a delightful little adventure game for "kids" of all ages.
Great For Little Ones

I have to admit, for an adult, this game can get a little boring.
But my son absolutly LOVES this game as does my daughter. They are 3 and 1 respectively. This is the target audience and I wish developers would make more games aimed at this market.
The game plays like a point and click PC game, so it seems out of place on a console; but, that being said, it is aimed at young children who just don't get the controller.
The game offers two modes, Normal and Kids. In Kid mode, Mickey will automatically move after a few seconds if the child fails to press a button. Why is this good? I have actually turned the game on, disconnected the controller, and allowed the game to play as a DVD!
What's more, Mickey's move choices are random, so it's never the same 'movie' twice! My son actually likes to have me play while he watches. He tells me what to have Mickey do next, and we watch the show.
THIS IS A GREAT TITLE FOR FAMILIES WITH LITTLE CHILDREN.
Hard for kids

What a boring game.. supposedly "puzzle", supposedly "fun"... mere supositions.... do not buy it unless you find it fun to move a hand cursor around to make Mickey act.. what a shame for Disney after Kingdom Hearts
Very Disappointed

This was one of the most disappointing games for the Game Cube System that I have purchased. The game seems like one for 2 or 3 year olds. My grandchildren will not even play it. My advise to anyone is not to purchase it unless your'e doing so for a toddler.
This is the worst mickey mouse game yet
