<h2> Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion</h2> 
 &nbsp; 
 RATING E for Everyone 
 PLOT Armed with a paintbrush, it's Mickey vs. monsters. 
 DETAILS <a href="/topics//Nintendo_3DS">Nintendo 3DS</a>, $40 
 BOTTOM LINE Hardly epic 
 Power of Illusion sets Mickey loose in a castle filled with monsters and traps. It's a fairly pedestrian exercise in running-and-jumping mechanics, distinguished by a gimmick: Mickey is armed with a magic brush, which he can use to paint helpful climbing blocks or to thin out pesky obstacles by tracing them on the <a href="/topics//Nintendo_3DS">3DS</a> touch screen. The paint/ thinner trick is cute the first few times, but becomes wearisome once you realize the developers will allow you to draw just a handful of items, which are repeated ad infinitum.
