And throw them off ledges.ĭisney Infinity 2.0 is directed at younger audiences (it’s rated E10+ for cartoon violence and its online play), but it’s not annoying to parents. You can pick up your friends while they’re picking up boxes. You can also collect crossover coins that will allow a figure or two from one play set to wander in another’s world – another nice touch that adds some freedom to your gameplay, compared to the first installment.Ībove: You can pick up boxes. Some fly some (guess who?) crawl the walls others take the elevator or double-jump their way up pipes, turning levels into pseudo-platformers. That’s all right what the system does is help to make each character feel unique, as many of their special moves aren’t duplicated by the others, and give you the sense that you’re customizing your virtual friend. The system seems largely random, though while you must take some skills to get at others, you follow no real trees here – it’s more like Groot’s meandering roots than any real structure. But the size of Infinity 2.0’s levels is much larger.Ĭharacters this time around can level up during missions and combat and spend points on a skill tree, which offers some pretty entertaining abilities at fairly low levels.Ĭharacters cap at level 20, and you won’t have enough points to spend on every skill, so you’ll have to think about what you’ll take and what you won’t. The original Infinity came with three worlds right in the box compared with Infinity 2.0’s one (the Avengers playset). Marvel comic author Brian Michael Bendis did the writing. The storylines the quests and missions follow are right in keeping with the worlds where they’re located. Nobody can accuse the Mouse House of skimping on the production values for this game’s major assets: The voice acting is extremely high quality, the dialogue is frequently funny, the music is typical Disney loveliness, and while the look and feel of the game worlds aren’t identical to the movies, it evokes the feeling of those places. They feel good in the hand, and are just a little cartoony without being completely goofy. When you pop the figures on the base, the glow uplights them – a nice touch.Įven if you stop playing the game, you might want to keep these figures around. The Play Set pieces that represent the game worlds are translucent and attractive, and the ones for the characters would look at home on your office shelf, not just a kid’s console. The hardware that comes with Disney Infinity 2.0 is just as beautiful as the original Disney Infinity: As in the original, the base is neatly designed, and the figures themselves are well-crafted, solid, and detailed.

You play through a series of quests in those figure’s game world, or take them to the Toy Box, where you can play pre-programmed mini-games or build your own. If you kill them by repeatedly doing silly things (as we did), you can revive each other, start over, or pop new figures on the board (as we did). The figures trigger those characters inside the game. The concept behind Disney Infinity is simple: You plug a flat base into your game console, set a figure on top that represents a world to play in, add a couple of characters to play with, and voilà: instant story.
