Fantasia review - Sega Megadrive
That mouse is back! Mickey Mouse, the geriatric Disney rodent returns to our Megadrives in a 16-bit translation of the classic Fantasia movie!
Some evil bleeder has gone and pinched the Master Sorcerer's music while his apprentice (aka Mickey Mouse) was asleep. Mickey's obviously a tad worried and faces the wrath of the Master Sorcerer if he doesn't retrieve the lost notes. So, using his special magical powers, Mickey whisks himself off into a dream where he does battle with the likes of possessed magic mushrooms, mobile broomsticks and evil toads intent on sealing the cheese nibbler's doom.
Mickey's task is to scour the levels, finding the missing musical notes and escaping before his energy level is worn down to nothing.

This was the first game to make me smash my joypad to bits

Despite loving Castle of Illusion, I rented this to make sure first as I was going through a skint period.
Thank the force that I did, 'cause this bored me so badly that I would have been forced to kill again, if a refund was refused.
Polished but dead. Like a dead, polished corpse in a slow but shiny car....that won't start in the morning.

This was pure pap, my brain struggled to compute how Castle of Illusion could be so good, but this could be so shite. However, it was, oh how I loathed thee.

i must be the only person who loved this game great graphics and sound if i played it today it might not seem as good but there were very few megadrive games i didnt enjoy.

Fantasia is one of the worst games on the Mega Drive! Its proof that good graphics dont make the game! Hit detection is flawed. But worst of all, the difficulty level is hard as a rock. Good luck getting anywhere! Fantasia gets an overall score: 40%
