The other main game mode is Toy Box, a mode that allows you to build your own levels to play in. Of course the downside to this is that usually you need all the toys all the time, however, on PC there is the option to jump to the pause menu and swap any registered characters from there - less fun, but more convenient. Once you have the base and physical characters, you will find yourself fascinated as your kids by the act of switching characters on the fly and seeing them appear in the world - especially as the toys retain save information about their level and experience progression. Other fighters are more lumbering and thus choose to block rather than dodge and some can even fly to soar above danger. Black Widow relies almost exclusively on guns and using dodges to avoid combat. This is especially important as each hero (or villain) controls differently.

Sometimes the ups outnumber the downsĭisney Infinity: 2.0 is good fun, managing to introduce the characters and the third-person action concepts swiftly. Unfortunately, if you are only playing the demo you will get to play two missions as Iron Man before the demo ends – just enough to induce addiction and tears in your average seven-year-old. This is then followed by about five hours of running around a city completing tasks for famous Marvel characters such as Nick Fury. In the case of the Avengers this equates to about half an hour of running through the Stark Tower, beating up Ice Giants and avoiding lasers as you hunt down Thor’s dastardly brother Loki.

A linear level - punctuated by cut scenes – which establishes the story, followed by open-world missions that focus on a lot on collecting items and the game's simple, but satisfying brawling combat. From there you are thrown into the Avengers campaign.Īll the play sets follow a similar formula. If you buy the starter set (which comes with the base), you’ll get the Avengers play set and three compatible Avenger figures – Black Widow, Thor, and Iron Man (as a general rule only characters from a matching franchise can be used - though there are exceptions).

Parents be warned the toys are great, and with each play set compatible with at least four different characters, they could quickly eat your way through your child’s pocket money and into your wallet.
