Disney Infinity

So Disney just released a new game called Disney Infinity. Now like a lot of people I was skeptical of a game where you have to buy toys to play it, heck that is the reason I never played Skylanders. Yet when they said they were looking into doing Star Wars and Marvel down the line it made me down right giddy. So I pre-ordered the starter and a few figures.

I have to say I am not disappointed in my purchase. In fact if anything I'm kicking myself for not ordering more of the figures to unlock characters in the game.

The game play is fun, in that each of the playsets are unique to the world they are set in. You can't take Jake Sparrow to Monsters University for instance. So with the play sets you have a game within a game. Mostly I've been playing the Pirates one and it feels like a game to its self. The others do too, as I've given them a try too. However the real star is the Toy Box mode.

I have to say this is something I really didn't care about when it was announced. I was kind of sad that I couldn't cross characters over into other worlds too. Yet Toy Box gives me just that. I can build anything my mind can think of. Plus then there is the fact I can upload to the server for others to play in. I have a PS3 so I can't right now because of some issues though.

The figures themselves are very stylized and I can see them putting some people off. However when you start getting a few you notice the uniformity of them actually looks kind of cool. These aren't the actual characters, but rather Toys of them in pretend world. It's like being a kid playing with the toys seeing the world you create come to life.

Overall I'm really happy with this game. I think those of you on the fence should find a friend who got it and give it a try. Heck I'd even suggest just buying it. The one downside is all the figures you need to get to unlock things in areas and such. But even then it comes down to personal preference.

Anyone else get the game? I'd love to hear what others feel about this or have experienced.
