    This is a high polished game that brings back the magic of Disney through excellent characterization, voice work (the narrator is fantastic), music, and design. Its a fantastic remake of the classic Sega Genesis/Mega Drive title. The only problem is that despite all the thought and hard work put into it, the controls are a little clumsy.

Its a fantastic remake of the classic Sega Genesis/Mega Drive title. The only problem is that despite all the thought and hard work put into it, the controls are a little clumsy. The game has a transparent controller layout overlapped on the display but it isn't accurate and doesn't always work well. If you are really itching for this classic title and you have the option, play it on a console instead as it works much better with a hand held controller. Expand

    Despite occasional frustrations, Castle of Illusion is a fun and visually impressive rework of a true classic. I just couldn’t shake the feeling that I’d played this experience in too many different guises over the years to fully enjoy it.

    Castle of Illusion arrives on the App Store with a porting substantially identical compared to the console version a few months ago.

    Castle of Illusion is a good platform game, but fails to deliver an organic experience. Some levels are gorgeous, but some other lacks in level design or inspiration, and it's definitely too short for a premium priced game.
