Game Review: Disney Infinity

So, we recently got the Disney Infinity game! We had even per-ordered it so that we could get it first thing. We are HUGE Disney nerds, so this game seemed right up our alley: and we were right!

Now, we have not spent like a million hours playing it. We have crazy lives and get super busy so we have only been playing an hour or so here and there. But even so, they have been very fun hours!

So basically here is how the game works, from what we can tell so far:
You have this dock with circles on it that you attach to your system. You place these little figurines on these circles, and you can play as these characters in their level or in the "toy box". It is similar to the Skylanders game with the figurines and the portal. Now we have not mastered the toy box, we just keep getting excited and going right into the levels. But you can build your own world in the toy box (similar to Minecraft). Not sure past that!

But, as far as the levels, it is your standard video game. You go around and get missions from others characters that progress you through the level. So far we have played a good chunk of both the Monsters U level, and the Pirates of the Caribbean level.

My only complaint thus far is that, in order to play a level with two players, they have to be from the same level/movie. Like you cannot play the Pirates of the Caribbean level with Sully and Jack Sparrow. But you can do that in the toy box. So, if you want to play with a friend, you have to have bought 2 characters from that level. So currently we have Mike, Sully, Captain Barbosa, Jack Sparrow, and Mr. Incredible. We are going to have to go out and get another Incredibles character soon!

The graphics are AMAZING! I mean we aren't experts by any means, but I can tell you they are super cute, and very vivid! As realistic as a cartoon character can be! And as someone who really only plays "kid games" (like the LEGO games and things along that line!) I can say that this game is so much fun to watch and play. I like being sent on missions and such when in games, I am not an RPG fan like Dillon.

Oh! And the figurines are really well made and so cool looking. Like so much so that we are displaying them in our living room when they aren't being used. I also like that basically, as soon as you get a figure, you unlock a whole new world. So as long as they keep coming out with new figurines, the game is almost never ending!

I might do an updated review on the game once I get to play it way more! I know they are coming out the Jack Skellington, Rapunzel, Phineas and Ferb, and even the new princesses from Frozen very soon!!! I cannot wait!

Have fun!
