 A Fun Adventure GameAug 20, 2004
By Joey's Girl... "Angie"
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 OnesFeb 05, 2004
By Joseph L. Campbell

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.

My 4 year old loves itMar 03, 2003
By Stuart Berman
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...

Magical Mirror is so much fun!Aug 26, 2002
By S. Haynie
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!

 Not fun at any age!Jan 27, 2005
By walksndark
"walksndark"
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.
