Disney Infinity 2.0 Edition

It's just a shame that the gameplay at the heart of its Story content hasn't pushed on. [Dec 2014, p.83]

The game suffers from a few technical hiccups in frame rates and broken quests, but there’s a wealth of content here waiting to be unleashed by your own imagination.

Despite some improvements, Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes is still a very basic action game beside to an intricate and frustrating editor. The atmosphere and charm of the characters are still not enough to convince us about the quality of the franchise.

The Marvel-expansion is the biggest addition, though there's a hell of a lot more new stuff to experience in this Disney-flavoured sequel. It's still not great though; the graphics are disappointing, the loading times rather long and the co-op mode unresponsive. Still, if you love Disney and Marvel... why the hell not.

The Lego games have shown that kid-friendly games can have a fantastic creative spark, but Disney appears to err on the side of safety.

Overall, 2.0 may not have the impact of the original but it’s still one of the best “toys to life” gaming experiences on the market.

Disney Infinity 2.0 Marvel Super Heroes is a step backwards for the Disney franchise. The Starter Pack gives only one Play Set and the gameplay in more flat and straightforward. Toy Box 2.0, on the other hand, is still a lot of fun and gives players a lot of tools to increase game longevity.

It still has some legacy issues, but the improvements go a long way. The Marvel fan-service, along with the constant small moments of delight and whimsy, more than make up for a few remaining weak spots.

A nearly game; good ideas and intentions scuppered by a desire to cram in as much stuff as it can. Yet despite this, Infinity still provides a lot of fun.

Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes features more variety than its predecessor, but the campaign content included in the base set is still quite repetitive.

It’s going to cost you a fortune, though, because once you start to enjoy dashing through the air as Iron Man, you’ll want more of those pricey heroes to throw into your game, because they’re wonderful little toys that look and feel good.

It takes time and actual, honest-to-goodness skill to make anything remotely playable, which makes the new additions to Toy Box in 2.0 extremely welcome ones.

Uneven and undercooked, Disney Infinity 2.0 isn’t the major upgrade I expected. It lacks the playful fun and diversity that made Infinity 1.0 so great last year.

The end result is a tale of two games: One that crushes the dreams of people hoping to wear spandex or a cape, and another that gives artists and creators more power. Stay away if your hopes lie with finally playing a great Avengers or Guardians of the Galaxy game. Come play if your ambitions lie mostly with building worlds.

As with its competitor Skylanders, it’ll cost you a fortune to get the most out of the game – but if you’ve already invested in this franchise, there’s no reason to hesitate over assembling those Avengers.

Bland missions, exiting toy box.

Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes improves on the problems of the last game but still has a bit to go. The concept is as genius as ever with the toy box mode as it's biggest source of value and fun. Too bad you have to play the lazy campaign to unlock stuff for it.

While fundamental gameplay problems make it difficult to create a truly exceptional gaming experience, Disney Infinity 2.0's real strength lies in the creation aspect itself, something which makes it ideal for a younger audience.

If you can handle the rough and ready and are focused squarely on making your own content, there’s something in here for you. If not, ignore Infinity 2.0 and hope Avalanche iron out the kinks for next year’s release.

It’s not a great all-around experience but it gives you the tools to make some memorable moments.

We thought Disney would address some of the problems Disney Infinity had. Unfortunately, that's not exactly the case and it's logical with only a few months of development. Adventure packs remain the same, the game's still disappointing visually and the gameplay is far too uneven. Nevertheless, you'll enjoy playing those super heroes, above all, with their interesting capacities.

A game of two halves: the new Marvel adventure is awful but the improved Toy Box is good enough to inspire kids to make something much better themselves.

Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes 2.0 feels like a failed attempt at rushing a game out to cash in on a trending genre, that ultimately suffers from too little development time and polish.
