IGN- Disney Infinity Review

IGN: Full imagination and charm, Disney Infinity really brings your toys to life.

[NukaCola]

I was never into Skylanders but this game seems pretty cool. I absolutely loved Toy Story 3 the game's Toy Box mode. Disney needed polish but the overall experience was so much fun.

[showtimefolks]

correct me if i am wrong but isn't skylander the same thing with different characters?

[ShinMaster]

Pretty much.

These games exist to get people to buy toys. $10 character DLC.

[GreatGamePlay]

$10 character DLC.....Kingdom Hearts.....probably not.....

[NBT91]

Not exactly. Half of Infinity's appeal is the toy box, where you can build levels / games using anything you unlocked, so you can fuse Toy Story with Pirates or whatever else you can imagine. Skylanders doesn't have that or the general appeal of Disney.

I think Infinity looks pretty good, but a couple of the flaws mentioned have me slightly skeptic.

[andrewsqual]

The toy scam thing is yes but no this is actually a well thought out game that deserves the review scores it will be getting. The guys who made this made the ingeniously fun Toy Story 3 game. Skylanders is just button mashing your way through a boring and uninspired level every single time.

[mikeslemonade]

Wow this is a game that totally came out from left-field and under my radar. Since Batman Arkam Asylum there hasn't been a gem like this.

[UltimateMaster]

Yay, more crap!
The parents new worst nightmare!

[badz149]

there is so many kissass in this shameless review it's not even funny! it's a game about shameless milking of characters and rely heavily on shameless microtransactions for the full experience!

the gameplay doesn't even look good or fun to begin with and they seriously hoping for people to spend more money on this POS? no wonder gaming in general is going downhill when scam like this are given praise by the 'supposedly' gaming centered website!

[Retroman]

I would not buy ANYTHING!!! from Walter Luis DISNEY
he's part of illuminati trade his soul in 1932 to be a member. its their job to lie and deceive the public on gimmicky products.

your right badz149

[OhMyGandhi]

The same people who spent money on skylanders...AKA moms and dads buying for their kids.

I rather they play these kinds of games, then jumping on whatever popular online first person shooter is relevant for the day, grabbing a mic, and shouting incessantly for no particular reason to ruin my day.

[kariyanine]

No one is making you buy or play anything. Much like with any game, the experience you get out of it is exactly what you put into it.

I'm assuming you feel the same way about every game that has character DLC, extra levels, etc...? Or are only some games that features DLC a shameless attempt to grab people's money?

[-Foxtrot]

WTF is up with Sullys face

[JonnyBigBoss]

You didn't get the memo? He has downs.

[GentlemenRUs]

The community of today, Honestly what will they think of next...

The model might be a little off but its nothing compared to what you just said!

[SilentNegotiator]

Large eyes, upwards facing nose (looks a LOT less like a canine nose in Infinity), thin upper lip (well, because there's no lips), smooth philtrum (Sully had a defined philtrum in the movies)...Sully has EXACTLY the typical defects of a person with downsyndrome.

It was even worse with Skylander's Spyro; he had bags under his eyes, too.

Granted, JBB's comment wasn't exactly...couth. But it is true; he looks like he has downsyndrome.

It looks bad when compared, because it draws attention to the features that would have made the original Sulley look that way:

[Geovanny]

Sullys face aint on point

[Ripsta7th]

Whats up w da hipster BG on da article though?? and dont mostly kids go on gaming sites such as IGN?

[joe90]

@Ripsta7th You used the word "da" in the place of "The"

I don't think you have the right to judge anyone,do you?

[Ripsta7th]

Wait so i have to write perfect or wat???? I can write however i want as long as u understand wat im saying

[TheArtfulDodger]

I believe he was saying you cannot judge the 'kids' that go on gaming sites when you type like a 12 year old.

[RockmanII7]

But Saints Row 4 gets a 7.3

[thehitman]

Missing your point

[KonsoruMasuta]

SR4 is trash.

[matrixman92]

the 86 metascore disagrees with you

[KonsoruMasuta]

COD also gets highscores. Does that make it a masterpiece full of innovation and ground breaking ideas?

[fsfsxii]

I would like to hear your opinion on upcoming games too.
You seem to have played the game to call it "trash"

[SilentNegotiator]

The game isn't even out.

How can you call it trash? Because it isn't enough like GTA for you?

[Heartnet]

saints row games have never been about quality xD

[TheArtfulDodger]

Just pure hilarious genius.

[masa2009]

No split screen if you don't buy a 2nd character? That's truly despicable.

[kariyanine]

The game comes with three in the box.

[Ulf]

The characters also need to be from the same playset, and the 3 that come with are all different sets.

You can't play coop without buying another toy, and even then you can only play coop in the world where you now have 2 toys.

[kariyanine]

True but you can play co-op in the Toybox mode, right out of the box.

[zu4G]

don't Underestimate this game, its better than HALO

[Jagsrock]

If you buy this game you might as well throw your money into a bottomless pit. It might be fun but there is no way I could ever justify buying a game where I have to spend over $200 just to get complete game.

[Qrphe]

Finally someone with sense. Disney is pretty much throwing so much money at this to make it a success so I doubt IGN would have given it a negative score anyway.

[MrTrololo]

Go pirate the game then if you don't want to spend so much

[cellur111]

You have to buy the toys..

[Heartnet]

WHy its for Kids and not for adults... Buy him the startup box for Xmas he then uses his money they get to buy characters / expansions... Bdays comes along they buy another etc etc...

Kids tend to like a certain thing for ages :P and they also like figurines based off movies they have seen.

[Angerfist]

Its a paid review, overall the Game gets average reviews but IGN praises it?? Seems legit.....

[Heartnet]

average? ive seen some 8-9 floating around alot more than ive seen 5-6

[hazardman]

Most people I talked to yesterday at gamestop are buying the toys as collectibles. It is Disney afterall!

Im definitely at some point gonna buy this game. There will be a Marvel and Star Wars characters at some point to..

[Picnic]

I don't trust any IGN score but I'm pleased to see a Disney game get a good score because it's so easy for people to look down on Disney games as some kind of power kick just because they got older and felt that their fairy tales haven't come true.

[Kidmyst]

Waiting for my Starter kit from Amazon. My Son will love seeing his favorite characters on screen. Looks like some fun play.
