Disney Move (video game)

Disney Move is an Action game, developed by Artificial Mind and Movement and published by Buena Vista Games, which was released in Europe in 2004.

Story & Gameplay 
Mickey's magic painting has lost it's colour, so you have to go into the painting to restore the colours of each area. Each area is based on a Disney movie/cartoon. There are six areas, so there are six mini-games, all six are different and some are actually quite clever. Completing each game restores colour to Mickey's painting as well as unlocking a mini-video relating the the game's theme.

Fantasmic. Based on the film Fantasia, this is a bit like space invaders, but you are stationary and can aim in any direction in the sky. Basically aim at the nasties in the Sky, if you're attacked, you can also hit their projectiles out of the sky.

Above average

The Haunted Screen. Based on the film Haunted Mansion, this is a game about capturing ghosts on camera. The object is to capture the green ghosts on film while avoiding the red. The ghosts are transparent to begin with, you have to wave your hand over them to reveal their colour, after about five second, they will revert back to transparent form, if you leave the ghost alone, it will disappear and a new ghost will appear. You're only given a limited number of shots to capture a set number of ghost, this in turn makes it the hardest game of the lot (in my opinion), because the amount of shots you can take seem to be carried over from stage to stage. This means that you should try to get the maximum number of ghost (5) every time or you won't have enough shots for the later levels.

Excellent, but can get tedious

Donald goalie. Based on Donald Duck, this is a football/soccer game where you play a goalie, just save more than letting them in to advance. You have to keep the ball from going towards the back of the net against Donald, Daisy and the nephews. The opponents get better and can even curl their shots, basically meaning you'll resort to arm flapping later on.

Average

Aladdin Carpet Flight Sim. Based on the film Aladdin, you fly the magic carpet above Agrabah chasing Jafah and dodging the royal guards throwing fruit and vegetables, as well as knocking off guards who jump onto your carpet. You use you arms to steer like a bird gliding.

Above Average

Stitch Groove. Based on Lilo and Stitch, this is a memory game where you have to match the beats of the computer. Getting the right rhythm does not seem to be required, just need to remember the order of the beat. At the end of each stage you get a freestyle, meaning just hit anything to get bonus points.

Average

Pirates Battle. Based on Peter Pan, this is a hit anything that moves game where you help Pan beat up the pirates on Hook's ship, the boss fight against Hook is great fun that requires a bit of strategy and timing.

Above average

Beat all the stages and you unlock free mode, which is just about getting high scores.

The graphics are average, but they work for the feel of this game. The sound is also average and not something that you'll remember or will be humming out. The EyeToy gameplay works fine, there is nothing really sophisticated about the movements needed, just remember in Donald goalie, if the ball comes towards your body, you'll still have to move your body or the ball will go though you. This is simply because the game detects movement, keep still and you'll be treated as the background.

Overall a good game, but with only six games, you can finish it in one day, it might take longer for children. There's no incentive to play the games again after you've unlocked the videos unless you like high scores.

Definitely a game for children, but as an adult, you'll have mastered and drained it for all its worth in a weekend, so a rental might be enough for you.
