Disney Infinity review!

[karl]

The House of Mouse launches its most ambitious video game ever alongside a brand new toy line. But is it any good? Tom Hoggins has your in-depth guide.

Part video game, part toy-line, part imaginative creation tool and part money-spinning corporate initiative, Disney Infinity is a difficult product to pin down. But perhaps above all, it is wildly, almost recklessly ambitious. Not necessarily in scope or innovation, though it doesn’t lack for either, but in desire for its success. Disney has labelled it a ‘priority project’, complete with the blessing and guidance of John Lasseter, it is the first time Disney characters from different universes have been allowed to interact, it reportedly cost $100m to make and Disney Interactive has all but abandoned any other project in order to focus on this potential behemoth. Or potential white elephant.

I wouldn't want to spend the ridiculous amounts of $$$ on this game.

I think it's like 70 or 75$ for the starter package plus the costs of other characters you have to buy seperately, AND other locations you have to buy seperately as well.

I feel like it could very quickly and easily become a $150+ investment that really isn't all that worth it!

Best thing to do is just to get off the got dang vidya games anyways and go play a good old fashioned game of American Football.

Get out. Now. :zap:


I just hope that the whole Skylanders approach won't stick with future games from Disney. Knowing them, they'll probably stick with it for a while just for the money. Just look at all of those damn singing games...

I'm kinda excited for this game, though I will only buy characters I actually want and not just for completion sake. Same with the discs.
