Disney Infinity Review by: tgags123 - 8.5/10
A pretty underrated gameHey guys, welcome to tgags123's review of Disney Infinity! Sit back, relax, grab some popcorn, and enjoy!
You hear the name of a game like Disney Infinity and think "Man, that game sounds so lame!" In actuality, this game is actually pretty enjoyable and entertaining. It is kind of like a mix of Minecraft and Skylanders, only simpler and geared a little more towards kids. That may sound just as lame and boring as the title of the game, but allow me to explain myself in this review.
Gameplay (9/10):
I did not expect this game to be any good at all. I would not have even gotten it, had I not had the chance to try it out on my brother's Wii-U. It is actually a very fun game. You can play as all sorts of different Disney characters, depending on which character you put on the little light up pad thingy (like in Skylanders). You can use all sorts of weapons to kill enemies, you can ride cars, you can fly helicopters, and so much more. There are two fun game modes that you can play, but I will get to that a little later.
Graphics (7/10):
The graphics aren't anything special. They are very simple 3D graphics, that lack fine detail. The characters look a lot like they do in their movies or shows, but they could look a lot better. The land is rather boring as well. It is pretty much all green. The graphics don't impress me at all, but they are not a major part of the game like they are in Call of Duty and games like that. The basic graphics kind of contribute to the feel of the game, though. I don't know if it would be as enjoyable if it had realistic graphics.
Sound (7/10):
Much like the graphics, the sound is mediocre. This game utilizes cartoonish sound effects, rather than realistic ones. The characters often say things relating to what you are doing in the game which is cool. The music in the game isn't terrible, but it is a bit boring. The music does, however, fit in with what it going on in the game. I really think that Disney could have done a better job with the sound, but oh well. It is not that important in this game anyway.
Addictiveness (9/10):
This game is somewhat addicting. The Toy Box mode is addicting the same way that Minecraft is. You want to keep making your world better and better and you just keep coming back to it until there is nothing left to do. There is definitely something about this game that makes you want to keep playing. Although it is fun, it isn't the most fun game in the world. Yet I keep on coming back to it. [s]I think Disney may have coated the game disc with nicotine or something.[/s] Seriously though, this game will have you hooked.
Story (7):
There is only a story for part of the game. Let me try to explain this. First there is a little introduction story thing where it is like "imagination is good and you can go wherever your imagination takes you" blah blah blah. After that, there are separate side stories. Each character has a different world that you can go to. For example, you can go to Metroville and fight crime with Mr. Incredible, or go to the monster world and battle the baddies with Sully. Each world has a ton of missions that you need to do. The stories are different in each world. One example is that in Metroville, the story is that Syndrome is back and he is trying to take over the city. You need to battle him and his robot army and defend the city. The stories in the monster world and Jack Sparrow's world are very similar, and I assume they are with the additional characters too. All of the stories are pretty lame, so that is why I rated it a 7.
Depth (10/10):
The reason this game gets a 10 for depth is because it is literally endless. In the toy box, the game mode that I have not mentioned yet, you can build your world however you want using items that you unlock with spins or unlock during missions. This is the part of the game that is like Minecraft. You can race, fight, and even ride pigs. You can do whatever you want. And this is on top of all of the missions. If you somehow manage to "finish" the game, you can always buy more characters and unlock new worlds and missions to play. If this game doesn't deserve a 10 for depth than no game does.
Difficulty (2/10):
This is the easiest game I have ever played. Hands down. The enemies are so easy to kill and I'm pretty sure my cat could complete some of these missions. I am pretty sure you have unlimited lives too, because whenever I die I just come right back. If you are looking for a challenge, then look somewhere else. Every part of this game is simple and easy. You can even turn off the monsters in the toy box by destroying the monster creator. And if you fall off of the end? No biggie. You can respawn wherever you want by putting one of those platform thingies there.
This game is fun and underrated, however there are much better games out there. This game is great for messing around and letting your creativity out, but not good for serious gamers. I think it is worth giving this game a shot, but there are definitely better games out there. Overall, I rate this game an 8.5 out of 10. Thank you for reading my review, I hope you liked it. Please do not reply to it unless you have read the entire thing. Also, please let me know if there is anything that you did not like about the review or anything that you think I should change in future reviews. Thanks!
