Disney Infinity 3.0










REVIEW
It’s a little crazy to think that this entire article thus far has just been scratching the service on what Disney Infinity has to offer in terms of gameplay and exciting features. Pete, Dustin, Craig, and myself were lucky enough to purchase an early release of the Disney Infinity 3.0 Starter Pack at Downtown Disney on Friday, August 28th at Once Upon a Toy. The only reason I stopped playing was to write this article and do a free-form Friday show about the set, otherwise I’d still be glued to the screen. I have to say, it’s a lot of fun. Disney Infinity 3.0 is my type of gameplay. I prefer the Play Set modes, but with all the features that have been added to Toy Box, I can really see myself getting into that as well. We started with the “Twilight of the Republic” Play Set. I loved it. To be able to run around and use the force and a lightsaber, but not have it be overly complicated gameplay is wonderful. I think the aesthetic world of Infinity aligns itself with the similar aesthetic of “ Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and “Star Wars: Rebels” so seeing these characters portrayed in this artistic manner was not anything new per se, but is very well done. It meshes the Star Wars universe into the Infinity universe rather beautifully in my opinion. Craig and Dustin went on to play the “Inside Out” Play Set as well. From what I watched, it looks fun and family friendly. It’s a nice alternative to have if Marvel or Star Wars is not your thing. I have to say the gameplay seems fairly accessible for all ages. It’s simple enough for younger kids to understand but also allows players to make upgraded and more complicated moves. I’d recommend checking out the review show we did to get a better feel for the gameplay and to check out some of the visuals.How much does it cost?
