41 00:02:39,072 --> 00:02:40,512 >>Rafael Fernandes: Although it seems very short, 42 00:02:40,513 --> 00:02:42,510 I still need to talk about the two-player mode. 43 00:02:42,611 --> 00:02:45,110 When playing with a friend, the game expands, 44 00:02:45,111 --> 00:02:49,760 and there are a greater number of stages, which increases the difficulty to favour the exploration. 45 00:02:49,761 --> 00:02:51,960 Furthermore, the design of these stages change, 46 00:02:51,961 --> 00:02:54,761 so the players can help each other in a cooperative manner, 47 00:02:54,762 --> 00:02:57,925 like in this part where Mickey has to throw the rope to Donald climb, 48 00:02:59,206 --> 00:03:02,582 or in this one, when you have to pull Donald because of his fat tail. 49 00:03:02,983 --> 00:03:06,773 The experience becomes very fun and ideal for playing on the emulator online, 50 00:03:06,774 --> 00:03:11,750 since the game has a slower pace that favors the exploration and reasoning instead of action. 51 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,315 The graphics are fantastic, in the level of previous games from SEGA. 52 00:03:22,816 --> 00:03:26,175 All sprites are well animated, and with an excellent level of detail. 53 00:03:26,576 --> 00:03:30,260 The only setback is that some scenarios seem to have the colors a bit washed out, 54 00:03:30,261 --> 00:03:34,621 but this can be easily compensated by the high level of detail that they have. 55 00:03:35,222 --> 00:03:38,760 Unfortunately, the slowdown is present at some times during the game, 56 00:03:38,761 --> 00:03:40,425 especially for two players, 57 00:03:40,426 --> 00:03:42,090 but it's nothing that comes to bother. 58 00:03:42,701 --> 00:03:45,701 The sound is also very good; There are only two voices in the game, 59 00:03:45,702 --> 00:03:47,810 when Mickey and Donald use their magic tricks. 60 00:03:48,241 --> 00:03:49,511 >>Mickey: Alakazam! 61 00:03:49,512 --> 00:03:51,462 >>Donald: Alakazam! 62 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,170 >>Rafael Fernandes: The sound effects are quite common, and the songs are very inspired, 63 00:03:57,171 --> 00:03:59,650 easy to go around whistling the themes. 64 00:04:41,901 --> 00:04:47,580 Furthermore, World of Illusion could be considered a classic as much as QuackShot or Castle of Illusion, 65 00:04:47,581 --> 00:04:52,601 but unfortunately turned out to be overshadowed by other Mega Drive games that were released in the same year, 66 00:04:52,602 --> 00:04:54,752 like Sonic 2 and Streets of Rage. 67 00:04:55,453 --> 00:04:56,960 Despite being a bit short, 68 00:04:56,961 --> 00:05:00,280 the game entertains for several plays, even after finishing it. 69 00:05:00,281 --> 00:05:02,720 It is a game mostly recommended for children, 70 00:05:02,721 --> 00:05:05,141 because of its difficulty and the cooperative mode. 71 00:05:05,450 --> 00:05:10,100 http://passagemsecreta.com
