   First off some of the critics of this game must not have children or have lost the child in their hearts. I have spent hundreds of dollarsFirst off some of the critics of this game must not have children or have lost the child in their hearts. I have spent hundreds of dollars looking for a game for my five year old daughter. I bought this game for her and I (don't tell mom) I told my daughter she was going to get a new toy and gave her a pack of the power-ups. Extreme disappointment ensued. After she wondered what i was thinking for a bit I pulled out the starter pack. She thought it looked like a boys game and I told her to give it a chance. Within an hour we were back at the store getting a couple of the Incredibles and the Cars starter pack.
   
   I have been playing games for 25 years and I have never seen a kid so engulfed in a game. The age gap in entertainment value is astonishing. Basic game play without harsh consequences for falling apart (not dying).
   
   It is going to cost some money ,but if you are looking for a game to thoroughly have fun with a child I would highly recommend this game. Mom, daughter, and I all laughed and had a great time while playing this. We don't need super crazy graphics and over-the-top button combinations to have a good time gaming and this game shows us why.
   
   The toy box mode is unbelievable you get to construct a world from your children's' dreams and then interact with it. I have only scratched the surface of this game and cant tell you how much fun you will have with a little one or two!… Expand

What they do not acknowledge is one simple thing...this is not Forza, this is not COD, this is not whatever other specialty game you may use as a benchmark to review this franchise on.
   
   Repeated Skylanders ripoff references are extremely foolish as well. By that logic, everyone using a computer right now is ripping off Xerox. Its patently absurd. Pun intended. For one to assume that Disney, with arguably the most identifiable characters in the world, in volume and in stature, would use its leverage by creating a toy based strategy is just silly.
   
   Disney Infinity is an extremely thoughtful, well crafted and fun game. And thats without even touching the toy box. It is not difficult to play, has solid narratives through out each world, which, in and of themselves feel like different games, if not for the overarching style they chose to go with. Additionally it is easy to engage with even if a child is unable to physically play the game.
   
   Im looking forward to going home later to play this with my kids as well as the future offering they are no doubt preparing for the coming months.… Expand

And the intro to the game lived up to expectation being magical like Disney always is. But when i started to play the play set of M.U it started to get repetitive and boring. But the Incredibles is improving though. Also i found the Toy box not to be as good as I thought most of the stuff to make it an enjoyable experience is locked, making you have to buy more figures. But this game is very nostalgic and brings back great memory's.… Expand

   I can not believe that gaming has come to this. From just buying a game and UNLOCKING content to buying a game with in-game figures, with dlcI can not believe that gaming has come to this. From just buying a game and UNLOCKING content to buying a game with in-game figures, with dlc and etc. This game however is well....FUN! The game will keep you busy with hours of content, extra side missions and the playsets are meh to ok. The problem with this game is that it is LACKING variety in Disney characters from the past and now. A Marvel update is awesome but it just seems way too soon for any fan of this game. The playsets are a mixed bag. It is fun but a little boring. I hope this game improves overtime and DOES not become a forgettable gimmick. The PC version is superior/ cheaper! It is a fun game, the toy box mode is it's saving grace and...well...that's it. I am more fond of Skylanders than this game. I just don't see any value in those EXPENSIVE figures/playsets. COME ON Disney Interactive. Yall are WAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY better than this! We really did not need the figures and the PC version proves that with it's virtual base. Try the PC version and you will be a lot happier. It is hard to recommend the console version because it is EXPENSIVE! I mean seriously? $13.99+tax to buy a @#$%^&( figure??? Really? When most Skylanders are $9.99? Really Disney Interactive? Really? Get it together and step up your game!… Expand

   Well, the game is fun. Especially with kids. I'll give it that. However, it fails on several key fronts:
   
   First, there is no reason thatWell, the game is fun. Especially with kids. I'll give it that. However, it fails on several key fronts:
   
   First, there is no reason that this game should have been tied to a toy franchise. The toys merely unlock characters in the game. No significant data is stored on them, and leveling them up does nothing for the characters themselves other than incrementing a numeric value. From a collector's perspective or a child's perspective, it might be nice to have figurines to show off or play with, but from a gamer's perspective, this is an entirely egregious use of resources and a rip-off to boot. They could have made the same game without the portal of power knock-off and the toys that go along with it, charged less, and focused more resources on improving on the game itself, which is lacking, in the end. The Toy Story 3 game, which this one was clearly based on, was great, affordable, and provided fantastic game-play, both linear and open ended. Disney infinity is a stumble in the a half-right, half-wrong direction.
   
   Second off, the creative toy box mode is extremely limited and totally buggy. You cannot fill your toy box with much before it maxes out and forces you to delete things if you want to add more. You cannot make any of it interactive beyond the built-in interactivity of the objects you place in it you can't create missions, or dialog, or set up any sort of logic-triggered events. Also, it often breaks. I often will place an object and want to move it around, but half the time the object becomes permanently fixed is space with no way to select it. This is one of several unacceptable glitches in this mode that make it frustrating more than fun, more stifling than freeing.
   
   Finally, co-op presents many missed opportunities. I love couch co-op, I love playing video games with my kid. This one is pretty fun for a little while. Still, forcing you to buy more toys to unlock specific characters in order to even play co-op after you're already spent 70$ on the game is an insult. See, you can't bring characters from different movies into each others worlds. This right here is a huge missed opportunity for fun. What's more, there is no co-op specific content. There are no vehicles that can carry two people. There are no missions requiring two players, co-operation, or that particularly benefit from being carried out by two people other than you might finish them faster which means you likely have to split up anyways.
   
   Again, it can be fun for kids. Disney Infinity is more creative than its obvious counterpart, Skylanders, provides more interest methods of travel throughout its worlds, and is a fine way to distract or spend an evening with your kid. But it doesn't really live up to its promises, and takes on the excessively wasteful and expensive baggage of real world toys without any clear reason or obvious benefit other than to make more money.… Expand
