This is the first Disney Infinity title I have played, and I am certainly glad I started at 3.0. Most characters in the Disney Infinity lineup, other than the Star Wars ones, do not interest me. There are a few here and there from the classic Disney films and the Marvel collection, but for the most part I am only interested in the Star Wars aspects of Disney Infinity.

Most characters in the Disney Infinity lineup, other than the Star Wars ones, do not interest me. There are a few here and there from the classic Disney films and the Marvel collection, but for the most part I am only interested in the Star Wars aspects of Disney Infinity. The Disney Infinity playset Twilight of the Republic is the playset that comes with the purchase of the starter pack. For those who have not played a past Infinity game, playsets are basically campaign or story modes. This playset sort of feels like an extension of the Clone Wars TV series, and to some degree even looks similar to the clone wars. It feels as if a short clone wars story was taken and stretched into 6 or 7 hours of gameplay. Twilight of the Republic main story is just enough to show the player why he or she is going to the various locations throughout the game.These locations are Coruscant, Tatooine, Geonosis, and Naboo. While the game is open-world, the locations at each of these planets is fairly limited and there is not a whole lot of variety in location on each individual planet. Naboo especially was a disappointment, and felt like a lost opportunity to create a very interesting environment to explore. There are also many side quests on each planet. Some of these quests are fairly enjoyable and give a nice change of pace from the rest of the game, but many are just fetch quests that were not really worth putting in the game. The two characters that come with Twilight of the Republic are Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker. The lightsaber combat in the game feels fairly well designed and complex enough to entertain older audiences. This is probably because of the assistance Avalanche Studios received from Ninja Theory. Less experienced players can go through the game just pressing triangle and not partaking in any of the combos, but more experienced players can continue learning and mastering all of the combos to become the most efficient they can at the game. The characters themselves feel different enough that you may want to switch between them every once in a while to put in some variety, but still both feel fairly similar. Anakin has some slightly more aggressive moves while Ahsoka has some better ranged moves. All the other Star Wars characters can also be used in the Twilight of the Republic if you purchase them and find their coin. Another part of the playset is the space battles. These space battles are not very long, and you do not have to participate in more than a couple. They change the action up a bit, but definitely are not something the player is going to want to do very much. Now let's move on to the toybox. The toybox is Disney Infinity's signature mode. Toybox mode allows players to create levels using the tools in Disney Infinity. Avalanche Studios has been improving, expanding, and polishing the toybox since 1.0.This can easily be seen by the amount of tools at the player's disposal. When Disney says there are infinite possibilities in the toybox, they are not that far from being right. Now the actual building in Infinity is not all that accesible for a game made for younger audiences. The player is forced to try to build, rather than learn to build. After you figure out the buildiing mechanics, the possibilities are just about "infinite" Even if you don't want to build your own level, there are tons of games and places to explore in the toybox. You can even download other players' levels. While not all of these levels are going to be a polished and fun experience, many are still a worthwhile playthrough. Everything in the toybox can be accessed through the toybox hub. This hub shows all the different types of levels, and shows how to build and access these levels. The toybox allows you to move at your own pace and doesn't force you to really do much of anything before you can access something else. Whatever you want to do in the toybox is accessible from the moment you jump in the hub.Some of the game types playable in the game are platforming, racing, and farming. While farming is not in any way enjoyable to me, the platforming can be fairly enjoyable. Some platforming mixed with some combat can create a really great level. Racing on the other hand, is not so great. The racing is trying to be simplistic and fast like Mario Kart, but it does not succeed. Turning and drifting are difficult to control and many times you can go flying off the track. Racing was one of my most anticipated parts of Disney Infinity, but the racing turned out to be more irritating than fun most of the time. It should also be said that all 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 characters work in the toybox, but only specific characters work with each playset. Disney Infinity is trying to be an all-in-one game, but it does not fully succeed in all the areas it is trying to cover.… Expand
