Disney's Mickey Saves the Day emphasizes cooperation, friendship, and teamwork while teaching kids the importance of caring for the environment. In addition to collecting cans in a fun-filled recycling game, players participate in the following activities:
Linking Logs--A tricky grid-based maze in which kids race against the clock and dodge obstacles in a toothpick factory. Watch out for switched doors, steam, slamming doors, trap doors, flip-down doors, and conveyor belts.
Traffic Jam--Getting Donald out of this jam is quite a challenge; to get to Donald's possessions, players must cross a busy freeway that runs through the center of his house! Kids learn problem-solving skills through this multilevel activity.
Songbirds--A cool musical activity in which children can arrange birds on four equally spaced telephone poles. Watching Mickey or Minnie conduct the singing birds is foot-stomping fun, and it gives kids practice in arranging musical notes and recognizing pitch differences.
Trash Bashing--Goofy is up to his usual antics in this real-life responsibility game that challenges kids to sort items in a trash pile and click on matching pairs. The garbage pile is bigger than it appears; there are multiple layers, and not all items are always visible, so look closely....
Sandwich Hero--Kids use their mouse skills to catch sandwich ingredients hurled by an automatic sandwich-making device. Children quickly move Mickey or Minnie across the screen and help them catch the right ingredients to make a yummy sandwich.
Once players have found all the clues and items needed to complete the flying machine, they'll witness a hilarious rescue that proves crime doesn't pay. (Ages 4 to 8) --Tina Velgos

Customer Reviews of Disney's Mickey Saves the Day
Pay attention to the other reviews! After we installed the game it would not start It froze on a black screen and we had to go to Disneyinteractive.com to download an update. The link there didn't work so we had to email support to send us the update. We were highly anticipating playing the game by the time we were able to get it running and were very disappointed. The scenery and colors are lovely but the game is very difficult to play. It moves very slowly, hotspots are difficult to use, the instructions are badly written and there were not enough things happening on each screen to hold the interest of my five year old.
Very confusing, kids lost interest quickly....
There seems to be a lot of difference of opinion on this game, so maybe it's subjective, but...
My kids (then 8 and 5) both dove into this new computer game, much as they do with any new game we get, but quickly found themselves very confused and frustrated. The interface is a bit clumsy; it wasn't real obvious what to do or even what could be done, and there isn't much in the way of in-context help to explain. After a lot of aimless wandering around within the game world, both kids gave up on the program in favor of several others that do a much better job of involving and entertaining them, and haven't gone back to it since.
Not too bad but still buggy
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my 5-year old who had tried out a few scenes at Disneyland's Innoventions exhibit. Overall, she enjoyed the game and made her way through the scenes with just a little help. The programmers could have made the interface a bit better, though. The "hot zones" (where the pointer changes to allow for an action) are a bit small for some items so it gets difficult to position the mouse over an object to pick it up. Sometimes the pointer doesn't change at all. The system requirements are a bit high and we got just a "good" performance on my child's 300Mhz PII with a 32x SCSI CD-ROM. There are a number of bugs that we found as well. Mickey starts slanting at a 45-degree angle at the pond if you have him repeat a few actions. Music cuts out intermittently at a few scenes. There's also a problem with some earlier revisions of this game and it won't load if your system date goes past 12/31/2000 (a fix was posted to the www.disneyinteractive.com website recently). Overall, this was a decent try but I'd hope that Disney Interactive does a better job next time. I saw the earlier reviews and they seemed split 50-50 between "fantastico" and "thppth". If you think you're PC-savvy enough to deal with these bugs and if your system has the horsepower, this program won't be excessively problematic.
