As characters complete objectives they get experience, and now each character has a skill tree to upgrade. Previous miniatures can also be imported into Infinity 2.0 for that same Toy Box mode, and there’s some neat upgrades to be found in their 2.0 adventures.
Donald doesn’t get to have is own story, but he brims with the angry duck personality that we all love in the Toy Box mode anyway. And this is where our friends who don’t have themed adventure sets, such as Donald, belong. As with the previous game, it’s a virtually endless experience where you’re able to wander around an open world, create environments of your own, compete with friends in multiplayer, or tackle simple missions of the “rescue XXX or find five of YYY” kind. The real meat to Disney Infinity 2.0 is its Toy Box mode, and you’ll be spending the majority of your time in here. The action is simple and can degenerate into button mashing at times, but its fast and furious enough, and controls well.īut the themed adventures are only a small part of the experience. Where Skylanders scales down the challenge, storytelling, and action for young hands and minds, Disney Infinity is pitched a couple of years older, and while still definately a game for all ages, it’s easier to get into it as an adult as with Activision’s franchise (and it helps that the characters are more identifiably interesting to me, no doubt). The Defenders of the Galaxy adventure plays well, with plenty of action and some basic platforming thrown in for good measure, and it’s a couple of hours of raw content that should appeal to the fans of the franchise. Just like in Skylanders, when you drop the miniature on the portal, you summon it into the game, and then if you have a buddy that wants to play as well, they can drop their own miniature in as well. In buying the set you’ll get access to a whole adventure set in the Defenders universe, where you’ll be able to play as any character that you own the miniature for (the starter set comes with two). Donald is too cool for a set, and I’ll get to what he adds to the package shortly.īut first, Defenders of the Galaxy. But I did pick up the Defenders of the Galaxy set. And now I’m the owner of a copy of Disney Infinity 2.0.Īmusingly enough, because I bought the download edition of the game (and can use the miniatures portal from the original Disney Infinity), I didn’t buy the starter edition of this game, and because the starter edition is the only way to play the Avenger levels, I haven’t been able to play the main selling point of this new game. As much as I enjoyed the first, it’s a reality that these games are a killer on the wallet, and the idea that the game would offer a whole load of new miniatures was something I didn’t want to subject my bank account to.īut then I saw the Donald miniature. I really wasn’t going to give in to Disney Infinity 2.0.
