A Fun Adventure Game

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.

This is going to be great!

First of all Disney's Magical Mirror is about when Mickey was sleeping his soal got trapped in a magical mirror and a ghost shatered the mirror and scattered the parts around Mickey's Mansion so Mickey could not get back to his body.I have seen 21 screenshots of the game.In the game you can fly in airplanes and ride down mountains on snowboards trying to find keys to rooms in the mansion so Mickey can unlock the rooms with mirror parts in them. That is all I know about the game.

Very fun! Even for a teenager!

I know this game looks like it's only for little kids, but it's really not. I'm a sophmore in highschool, and I enjoyed this game immensely! I was surprised how hard it is. I got stuck several times, but it's probably because I over-analyzed situations, as a small child probably would not. Also, not far into the game you can tell that the controls are obviously geared for small kids, but you forget after awhile. However, I do like to explore less patronizingly in video games, and the movies get a little tedious. But, overall, this game was very enjoyable. If you loved Luigi's Mansion (like I did), you'll also love this game. They are a very similar concept of exploring a mansion w/ ghosts.

awsome game

Mickey's Magical Mirror is very fun to play! It's the best GameCube game I have ever played! You go around and find mirror pieces after some creepy ghost breaks the mirror. You have to help Mickey find all of the pieces of the mirror so that he can get back out again. It's a blast! I have two pieces so far and I can't wait to find the rest!

My 4 year old loves it

My four year old son loves this game, the violence is minimal, the graphics and sound very good. I love that the game has different "modes", "Small Kids" and "Normal" - my son used the "Kids" mode for a day until he figured it out, and now only uses the normal mode where he has to get the right points/keys/etc and performs under time (he does use the "kids" mode now to try and teach our two year old daughter - she LOVES Mickey). I also love the "older kid" kind of activities he gets to test, such as the snow boarding and plane flying. This was his first GameCube experience and I am sure glad we went this route, his GameBoy Advance can hook up, there seem to be more titles for young kids (though it is pretty hard to really figure out which ones the young kids may find suitable - wouldn't it be nice if you could rate these games by ages and reading levels?), the ability to do multiplayer (other games), and the price...

Entertaining

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 :).

Warning: Ages 6 and under only!!

Don't be surprised by the game's inviting, adventourous cover. It's not much fun. This game is really intended for younger kids.
Most of the time you are just directing Mickey to open doors or solve no-brainer puzzles, and the only decent interaction is the mini-games you play now and then.
If you're really craving a good Disney game, then buy Donald Duck Goin' Quackers. It's much more fun.

They market this game for kids but it is hard for young ones and gets boring very fast.

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.
