    It’s truly a dizzying amount of Disney; a virtual toy box packed with some of the most beloved characters from the past hundred years of entertainment, polished up and overflowing with fun and options for creativity.

    I have always been super critical of the Infinity series, mostly because I want to love it. The characters are among the best in the genre, and it fills my childhood dreams of playing with my favorite toys. 3.0 finally hits all the right notes, and fixes most of my complaints with the previous entries.

    Disney Infinity 3.0 is the latest installment in the Infinity series. We think it's the best Disney Infinity game yet. Star Wars and Inside Out add a lot to the game, and there's enough to experience.

    Disney's toys-to-life franchise finally reaches full maturity with lots of contents and a varied and satisfying gameplay. Add the Star Wars franchise to the mix, and you've got a must buy game for little and grown-up geeks.

    Disney Infinity 3.0 continues to expand through new characters, new play packs, new settings and even new game modes. The latest, Toy Box Speedway, delivers a franchise-hopping, kart-racing game to the build-and-play title.

    It’s an experience with considerable polish that will introduce many young players to Star Wars franchise for the first time. Equally it will re-connect many parents who remember the original trilogy to the more recent joys of Rebels, Clone Wars and Episodes I, II and III.

    An excellent playset, alongside a comprehensive and easy to use Toy Box makes this an essential purchase and proof that Disney really wants to beat the competition.

    For the younger players especially, bouncing around as a Jedi or flying the landspeeder around the desert is unlikely to get old anytime soon.

    Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition is a marked improvement over its bland predecessor, and good value at its lower price point. Some of the title's best content is likely unreleased as of yet, but what's available in its Starter Set is definitely worth the price of admission.

    Disney Infinity 3.0 offers a great Star Wars adventure, but it is on the short side. Thankfully the side missions are filled with Star Wars fan service that make up for a lot. Technically speaking the game is somewhat glitchy, but the beautifully designed figurines will probably make this game a success once again.

    Disney Infinity 3.0 is a nice new addition to the fun and cute series, although it could have been better. Tutorials and graphics are a lot better, but known issues like long loading screens and technical stutters still annoy the gamer. The starter set is a bit less big than usual, but the missions and stories are lovely and the different difficulty levels make this game suitable for anybody.

    An improvement over the previous Infinity games, Disney Infinity 3.0 is the most definitive installment in the series to date, putting Disney Originals, Marvel and Star Wars under one roof. Factor in the power and possibilities presented by the Toy Box, and Disney Infinity 3.0 would be almost impossible to resist if a little more attention had been lavished upon the core gameplay.

    Definitely the best in the series so far. The worlds seem more vibrant and alive than those in 2.0 and the combat is better than ever. TheDefinitely the best in the series so far. The worlds seem more vibrant and alive than those in 2.0 and the combat is better than ever. The Star Wars playsets are good fun but keep in mind that this a family game so don't expect KOTOR3. And while the story mode is great, the real draw for me is the Toybox, the mode which allows you to create your own games and worlds and share them with other players. I've been playing this series since 1.0 and I finally feel like Disney has really given us the tools we need to make great games. There are more components to build with and more ways to make those creations come to life. However, even with some new tutorials, you'll have to spend a lot of time to really get good at it. I've been doing this since 1.0 and I FINALLY feel like I have a good handle on how to create truly immersive worlds that don't seem amateurish.

    However, sometimes I feel like the limitations of the engine restrict the creativity and ambition of the user. The game constantly tells me I've added too many complex toys and forces me to scale back. Granted, being limited is a part of what spurs creativity. That being said I KNOW the current gen systems can handle bigger worlds than this game lets you create. I think the fact that this game is designed to run on both a Wii -- a system that is almost a DECADE old -- and a system with an 8core processor like the PS4 is severely restricting the complexity of player-generated content and unfair to those using the newer hardware. A good solution to this would be to allow users to set system requirements for the worlds they create. If they want to make a world that can be used on all platforms, they will be restricted to a certain amount of content. If however they want to make something that will only work on current gen systems, they can create bigger worlds.

    The fact that users can share content across almost every imaginable platform from PC to all the consoles and even iPads and iPhones is what makes this ecosystem of games great, but also what holds it back. Going from a platform with less processing power to a current gen system works fine. I created a world in the 2.0 iPad version of the game while I was on a trip, then uploaded it to the cloud and opened it in the 3.0 version on my XboxOne no problem. However, when I continued work on my world and then shared it back to the cloud it started DELETING THE WORLD EVERY TIME. Luckily I have learned not to trust the cloud saves and made a backup because I was experiencing a similar problem on the Xbox360 version of the game. In fact, that issue was so infuriating that it was the REASON I upgraded to the XboxOne, assuming that newer hardware would fix it. I don't regret upgrading per se, but I was pretty upset when an even WORSE problem occurred.

    In general the cross-platform cloud saving functionality of this game is A DISASTER, especially if you're using a mobile version. At a certain point, the iPad version of the game will start telling you that it can't connect to Disney Network Services, essentially not allowing you to access your OWN CONTENT. The cloud sharing functionality is spectacular in theory but the fact that it straight up DOESN'T WORK makes me wish they hadn't even bothered. The frustrating thing is that the issues experienced by users seems wildly inconsistent. I've read a lot of people on forums who've lost tons of their content but not in the same way that I did. In fact, no two people seem to have the same problem. I called the Disney folks and they were pleasant (in fact, they reminded me of the "cast members" you buy Churros from at Disneyland) but they didn't know what was going on. I don't blame them, the developers have clearly bitten off more than they can chew in terms of getting this game in the cloud.

    Take that all with a grain of salt. This is a truly ambitious and epic monument to interactivity and creativity. I'm pushing this engine HARD and most of my disappointments with this game have more to do with my ambition rather than shortcomings with the game. That being said, there are a few weird graphical glitches that other reviewers have noted but don't really bother me.

    So let's get back to the point. Disney infinity 3.0 is the best Star Wars game on the market right now (ask me about that when Battlefront comes out) and the best game creation tool available on consoles at this time (sorry Project Sparks). If you're a parent with kids who love games and Star Wars, Marvel or Disney or someone like me with a lot of nostalgia for these characters, 3.0 is a no-brainer. Is it expensive? Ridiculously so. But it's only a rip-off if you don't take full advantage of the Toybox. If you really get your feet wet in the creation engine offered here, you'll get many more hours of play out of this game than you probably would with most AAA titles. If you only want to play the campaigns however, you might find better value elsewhere.    … Full Review »

    I love the new Star Wars sections and this is much better than the second instalment.
