Disney Infinity

If You Can Dream It, You Can Build It

NOTE: This review is only covering what is featured in the Main game before buying more content and

The Toy Box mode. This does not include reviews of the Pirates of the Caribbean set, the Incredibles set, and the Monsters University set.

Introduction / The Main Game

Disney has finally outdone itself with its newest game Disney Infinity, which I'm sure you've already heard of. Disney Infinity is a new sandbox game featuring characters from many Disney movies, such as Pirates of the Caribbean, The Incredibles, Monsters University, The Lone Ranger, and Cars all in toy form completing quests and exploring the world in which they come from. Each movie has a completely different storyline, with a 3-4 hour campaign each. Disney Infinity comes with 3 figurines to start off when you first purchase your game. You get Mr. Incredible (The Incredibles), Sulley (Monsters University), and Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean.) You also get an object that you place on the portal that unlocks the 3 worlds: The Incredibles, Monsters University, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Also, I would like to mention that the characters from one movie CAN NOT cross over to another movie's game. For example, Captain Jack Sparrow can not go and explore Monsters University, and Sulley cannot go and set sail for the high seas in Pirates of the Caribbean. Now, back to what the core game includes. The game also gives you one Power Disc, which is something added to the game such as new skins for the world blocks in Toy Box, or new items for Toy Box, such as the Mike Wazowski's Car or Cinderella's Stagecoach.

Disney Infinity Box

The Toy Box

If you are a fan of games like Scribblenauts, LittleBigPlanet, or Minecraft's "Creative Mode," you are sure to be a fan of the Toy Box mode on Disney Infinity. The Toy Box mode is where all of your characters can be used in the same place. You can play as any of them at any time while in the Toy Box. The Toy Box encourages you to build the craziest racetracks, or the most amazing battle arenas you could ever think of. With an abundance of objects to start off with and then more that you gather by playing each story mode, you can really create whatever your heart desires on this game. One of the best creations I've seen is the amazing re-creation of Star Wars' famous Trench Run. After playing a couple of the user-created maps, I felt inspired enough to create my own. I used the Lone Ranger Toy Box and built a gamemode in which the Ranger and Tonto ride into a canyon, only to be ambushed by a load of Butch Cavendish's men. I had it designed that the enemies would just keep spawning and jumping down for the Lone Ranger & Tonto to fight. It was awesome, and with a couple of tweaks here and there, it might be ready soon to get uploaded to the user-generated levels on Disney Infinity's Toy Box.

Final Thoughts
Disney Infinity, in a way similar to Skylanders, really changes what the genre of Children's Games really is. This is not just a game for little kids, and its not just a game for families to play together. Its a game for the fans of Racing Games, Fighting Games, Platformers, Sports Games, and Stealth Games. It is a game for truly anyone, and definitely not an experience to miss out on.
