All of the Play Sets can be tackled with a friend if you are really struggling too. This should come as no surprise – it is a Disney game that aims to allow anyone to have fun with it. The game’s difficulty is rather low, you’ll only ever really be challenged on hard. It felt great taking helm of a big pirate ship and getting into battles, although it’s a bit sad to say it was a small part of the set. The Pirates Play Set felt the most complete of the three – allowing players to explore the world in your own ship which can be edited and upgraded at any time. Monsters University, like the movie, is humourous and very playful, while The Incredibles feels quite rough due to a rather lacklustre setting. How you approach each set is up to you, and exploration is rewarded through the collection of currency and more props to use in the Toy Box.Įach Play Set has it’s own strengths and weaknesses. Each of these Play Sets contains an overarching story with its own unique side missions too. A rather modern line-up of Monster’s University, The Incredibles and Pirates of the Carribean are included, but despite the lack of the true Disney classics it’s unlikely you’ll hate all of these franchises. There’s one figurine for all of these Play Sets – but each additional Play Set has its own figurine. Infinity ships with three Play Sets in the box. The Play Sets can be interpreted as the “story modes” of the game, which have much stricter rules on what can be done within them. The Toy Box is the open ended sandbox in which you can do whatever you want, build whatever you want and pit characters against each other. Toy Box? Play Set? Yes, Disney Infinity has its own naming schema. You can start and tinker in the Toy Box mode or jump straight into a Play Set. It really got to me – it’s nostalgia at its greatest.Īfter the introduction it’s really up to you where you go with Infinity. Before you get cynical about that, however, let’s look at the game in the box because it still provides hours of fun by itself.ĭisney Infinity begins with a heartwarming introduction, it takes a while but this ten minute introduction will just melt you down and take you to a place where anything is possible. It’s a game that can go on forever, if your cash allows it. While Disney Infinity can be purchased just as a game, you’re technically buying into a whole ecosystem.

If anyone were to attempt to bring this mantra to the gaming scene, it would have to be Disney. Disney Infinity has a lot of hype to live up to, after all it does promise never ending fun (it’s even on the box!).
