Disney Infinity is off to a great start and will hopefully be supported for years to come. The thought of Avalanche Software potentially tapping Star Wars, Marvel Comics, and other properties in Disney’s vault for upcoming sets makes this game’s future just as exciting as spending an afternoon creating adventures with friends.

It melts my brain to think how much money people could throw at this game. So this is a caution to anyone who obsessively collects things. Disney Infinity is a good game, and one that caresses your cranium in a creative and imaginative way. But you will need to throw money at it. Lots of money. Think of the toy buying as a physical DLC add-on, as the more collectibles you obtain, the better your gameplay experience will be. Parents be warned.

Disney Infinity is a multifaceted game that offers a lot for Disney fans of all ages. Most of the separate components are well executed and enjoyable, but taken as a whole, the game’s insanely fun and addictive, making it easy to get past its flaws. There’s far too much to cover in a single review, but rest assured, if you’re interested in this sort of experience—and the potential price tag doesn’t scare you to death—you should give it shot.

Unfortunately, this sandbox of unlimited potential ultimately ends up feeling oddly limited, if not slightly broken. Those seeking an immediate builder’s utopia will be sorely disappointed with the small number of starter objects. While you can send objects miles into the sky, the lack of object snapping means you will be hard pressed to connect anything up there in a meaningful way. And with a maximum number of objects allowed in any one Toy Box, you will inevitably find yourself forced to pick efficient functionality over eye candy. You will constantly try to push the boundaries, as the game encourages you to, but the limit is quickly reached through something as silly as plopping 50 woodland creatures in your brand new enchanted forest, a player can find their imagination stifled pretty quickly if they lack efficiency or self-restraint.

It comes as close as any video game can to recreating that starry-eyed sense of fun that comes from simply playing with toys and creating worlds with one’s imagination. There’s probably a closing comment to be made here about children of all ages, but I’m too dignified to make it. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to sail my pirate ship…

Disney Infinity is an amazing game with faults which lie most often in the playsets themselves and some of the poor vehicle controls and inconsistent player training, which feel a bit like the growing pains that we saw in early sandbox games. That said, Avalanche Software has created a game that doesn’t just let you play in the Disney sandbox, but gives you the bucket and trowel to build your own castle in it.

Adults who have a fondness for Disney will get the most out of Disney Infinity, thanks to its expansive Toy Box mode, and the Play Sets will provide hours of entertainment for kids who have prior experience with platformers. While the Play Sets may be a little too simple to be enjoyed by adults in single-player mode, they’re a lot of fun with a co-op partner, as long as the both of you can revel in the fact that you’re playing with childrens’ toys. Despite some missteps, Disney Infinity does a solid job of appealing to a broad audience, and lives up to its lofty promises.

While Disney Infinity might be a precisely coordinated marketing strategy, it’s also a imaginative multimedia experience that will appeal to gamers of all ages. Kids will adore everything about it and adults will enjoy collecting their favorite expertly-crafted figures and seeing them in action. The game is a little rough around the edges, but the substantial Play Sets and massive amount of content makes it easy to understand lapses in visual quality. Even without knowing what’s in store for us next (Tron or Gargoyles, anybody?), the game is well-worth buying for Disney aficionados of all ages and could prove to be an excellent bonding opportunity for families.

But where Infinity comes alive is with Toy Box, a vast creation suite that lets two local (or four online) players generate worlds and playable experiences on the fly using an impressive array of items from Disney’s vast catalog — even Star Wars and Tron are represented. It’s easy and incredibly fun to use, but also powerful, and content can be shared with friends. Even as additional play sets and figures are released in the coming months, it’ll be the Toy Box that keeps us hooked, and it’s how Disney Infinity remains so endearing even as it commands ample cash.

Disney Infinity is a huge gamble that could pay off over time. As of now it is a massive money sink that can be hard to recommend, especially to those already so invested in that “other†toy game. Still, having the stable of characters and licenses Disney has, it has the potential to be something special. I would like to see a release on next-gen to clean up some of the performance issues, especially since my toys should carry over. Only time will tell, but for over $100 just for my wife and I to enjoy it together, I suggest knowing what you are getting into before taking the (expensive) plunge.

When I first started to play Disney Infinity I had some fairly mixed emotions about how I felt, but the longer I played the more I enjoyed it and came to the realization that it is a good game. Sure, there are some technical bugs now and then, the Play Set missions can be mundane at times, and it may be expensive to ‘buy-it-all-to-collect-it-all’ giving you a bit of “sticker price shockâ€, but in the end how can one not enjoy what is offered here. The ability to create your own Disney-esque world in the Toy Box is truly amazing, the figurines are very well done, and the thought of future Play Sets is exciting (HELLO…Star Wars, Marvel, or classic Disney worlds). You can rest assured if you are a Disney fan, or have kids who are, you’ll all enjoy this game, as for you others out there, it can’t hurt to try it as you may just like it too.

Disney Infinity may have a high price barrier, but as far as new franchises go, this could be one to watch. It’s not perfect, but when it comes to kickstarting a new franchise, Disney has something exciting here, and I’m personally hoping to see more of Infinity in the figure. At it’s best, Disney Infinity is a game for families, as the campaign mode won’t keep older gamers hooked, while some of the more subtle aspects of the Toybox could be too complex for the young ones.

I can see the potential with Disney Infinity both within its future playset opportunities and the Toy Box, but it’s not quite at a "must buy" status just yet. By the same token, I had a ton of fun playing the game, especially with a local co-op partner on-hand. So long as you’re willing to put up with some rather elementary action gameplay, Disney Infinity is a solid choice for families, younger gamers, and gamers who are young at heart alike.
