Disney Infinity Review | Blast

Blast - "Let’s just get this out of the way; your kids are going to want Disney Infinity. They’re going to want all of the figures and all of their variants. They’re going to ask you for all of the power discs, which are packaged randomly. They’re going to want the case that holds the figures – the whole shebang, and it’s going to cost you…a lot."

Deserves a 5. I love this game and I'm an adult male.

It's got some fun ideas, but holy crap is it unpolished. The Toy Box is the star of the show - those who put in the time and effort get rewarded with an impressive display of potential creative content. But getting there is torture. I had anticipated having a couple hours to kill this weekend, I had thought I'd pop in DI and try to play through the Monsters University to completion to unlock spins. And then when the time actually came I just didn't want to; I dreaded spending my precious free time doing goddamned fetch quest after goddamned fetch quest, all in the pursuit of a *CHANCE* of getting one item I actually wanted. And my Toy Box experience is pretty much capped out until I get some of the more advanced toys, so I didn't want to go there either. Ugh.

I understand why they made the toy unlocks random, otherwise you'd get a couple dozen spins, sort through and buy a couple dozen useful items, then never want to play any of the Playsets ever ever again (or BUY MORE). But fuck, a random single item out of SIXTEEN FUCKING SLOTS is ludicrous. If it were random four, or even eight, then it wouldn't feel like robbery.

I'm also not convinced that the 'valuable' items aren't seeded to be more difficult to obtain on the 'random' spins, which is true fuckery. I had twenty spins, saw a couple cool items I wanted on a page, and by God I made it through a dozen spins before I got the first of them, then got the other one on the fifteenth spin. In Kotaku's writeup, Mike Fahey posted a video where he had fifteen spins, saw a Tron Recognizer in one of the pages, so he started spinning. Spoiler: He didn't get it.

Me too but I let the kids play aswell (sometimes) but I'm having some problems with patch 1.03, I've had to delete it to play which means I can't play online & I can't play in the Disney toy box's are you not having the same issues or is this just me.

Is Disney Infinity Coming To The PS5 & Xbox Series X?

There is a huge gap in the market at the moment. There aren’t many (if any) toys-to-life games available for the two consoles yet. A reboot or remake of the game would work so well, especially with Disney’s current roster of characters, films and TV shows.

Did Disney sell the rights to Activision? I never knew they had the rights to Disney Infinity.

They DO have the rights to Skylanders though.

Plus there's a financial reason every publisher gave up on the "toys to life" thing. So I doubt they'll revive any of them.

BrainSyphoned1552d ago (Edited 1552d ago )

It wasnt Skylanders fault Activision squeezed the cow too hard.

"During its earning calls, Activision confirmed that Skylanders: Swap Force had made them more money than Call of Duty: Ghosts. Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg revealed the numbers, putting Skylanders at a whopping $2 billion in revenue after it sold 175 million toys.May 7, 2014"

"Skylanders Reached the Milestone of 250 million figures sold in 2015 and passed $3 billion made"

Is it possible Disney Infinity or other toys to games could return, but I'll be honest I really hope they don't come back.

These kinds of games are just another way for the game studios to nickle and dime you for every cent you have.

BLAKHOODe1552d ago

Disney Infinity was a fun game I could play with my kid back in the day. I still have it and the 100+ toys and yes, it works on PS5. But my kid is a teenager now and we've both moved on to more serious games.

Fluke_Skywalker1552d ago

Exact same thing here, we played Disney Infinity and Lego Dimensions. Both were great but are now just two big boxes full of stuff that never gets used.

BLAKHOODe1552d ago

We played Lego Dimensions, too.. and I still have all those toys. It also works on PS5.
