Disney Infinity 2.0 Edition

Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes (2.0 Edition) takes last year’s tested formula and adds new features like leveling characters, streamlined editing tools for the Toy Box, and a cast of characters straight from your favorite Marvel comics and movies. While the new Play Sets are only a modest improvement over the ones from last year, the Toy Box is even more amazing, making this the perfect place for those wanting to express their creativity.

Well worthy of the 2.0 in its moniker. Bigger, bolder and bursting with unlockables and emergent DIY fun. [November 2014, p75]

Disney Infinity has made some massive strides this year, improving on several features that were left in a rough state when the game debuted. Some of those corners are still feeling like they’ve been ignored, but the game does a fine job in promoting that creative spark amongst the younger members of the family.

The second installment in Disney Infinity's franchise is more mature and complete, with a bunch of interesting new features regarding character development. Fun for the kids despite not so impressive graphics and a lack of variety in Avengers' main story mode.

With video games being blamed for stunting imaginations in young minds, it’s refreshing to see a game that promotes a creative spark.

If your wallet can handle the on-going need for new figures, play sets and power discs that this game desperately needs in order to fully deliver its goods, then by all means by this for your kid.

The vastly improved Toy Box allows for some incredible player creations. [Issue#249, p.66]

Assuming you're willing to shell out the money for the experience, any Disney-loving kid will have fun with this title.

Disney Infinity 2.0 has made some big strides from the original release. There is a ton to do, especially when you dig into the toy box, which should keep fans occupied for a long, long time. Things are just a little complicated for the younger gamers to do all on their own.

In almost every way Disney Infinity 2.0 earns its sequel badge as it has improved on the original.

It may not revolutionize, but Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes 2.0 Edition firmly establishes the property in the gaming landscape.

Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes is still an excellent upgrade to both the single player and content aspects of the game.

Depending on what you want from Disney Infinity 2.0 Edition you’ll either be underwhelmed or overjoyed. Maybe both. You can see exactly where improvements have been made, and where the series still needs to grow. We’re disappointed in the lack of diversity from the available Playsets, but there is still a ridiculous amount of stuff to collect, and it’s now more accessible, customizable, and fun than ever.

There is plenty to keep even the most ravenous Marvel/Disney fan busy for a long time.

2.0 feels like a natural evolution, and that's a good thing if you liked the original.

A complicated beast, and easy to write off as a money grab for this lucrative new market created by Skylanders. However, see the game in the hands on young players and the different pieces fit together coherently.

The addition of Marvel superheroes isn't quite enough to make Disney Infinity feel super yet.

With 2.0, Infinity has become a little more adult, thanks to a deeper fighting- and level-system, a more expansive Toy Box with a lot more possibilities and the addition of multiple types (‘genres’) of games, which can be created as well as played. It’s a shame that the single-player content has become less exhaustive compared to the former Starter Pack, otherwise this was a big win on every front. Not in the least because of the emphasis on Marvel Heroes.
