Disney Infinity arriving in June

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I wanted KH3. :(

Haha This looks enjoyable. :)

This actually sounds pretty cool.  Not that interested in the toys or the collecting, but Disney is always cool, especially their worlds, and the Toy Story 3 game was unexpectedly awesome.  So if the sandbox/toybox feature is anything like it was in that game, this one should be pretty sweet as well.

Not that excited by that price though.  It sounds cool, but not $75 cool.  If I were a kid though, I'd probably be 'bout dat despite the price.

I think Activision did very, VERY well with the idea of Skylanders. BUT, I have always been a huge fan of Disney, and that won't ever stop.

Disney Infinity>Skylanders

GO DISNEY!!!!!!!

P.S.: If Disney uses Marvel and Lucasfilm wisely, Activision is screwed!

Oh that looks cool, the Disney part caught my attention.

Song of the South characters, plz.

I saw the trailer and thought it was kind of awesome and now... meh.

im sure this will do well like skylanders. 

Pokemon should have done this years ago. i wonder if they will ever.. 

if they did i hope it would only be for the wii u and a pokemon game on that not the original ds/3ds series.

Like it or not - this is the future of kids gaming and toys. You buy a toy to your kid, he goes home, connect it with some video game and play it this way.

I can already see the similar games from Lego, Nintendo, Capcom, Square Enix, Microsoft, Sony, Sega etc.

This looks great, but I wasn't a fan of buying extra toys to play as extra characters. 

I know this is aimed at kids, but I prefer characters who aren't already rooted in their own movies (ie, I prefer original ones), b/c for a few reasons:

1) Some of the characters in Disney movies were pretty lame - Mr. Incredible and the one-eye monster from Monsters Inc? Give me Aladdin to do combat with, then we'll talk. Or older Simba.
2) It shows Disney isn't willing to create their own characters from scratch, which mean they're lazy and are feeding off their own past success (major product placement here).
3) playing with ACTUAL monsters just feels more awesome.

This looks awesome for kids. Especially the toy box feature.

Marvel is a Disney property now..so this might get interesting.

Hope the graphic is far better than what I see here, so this could become a long lasting game.

It sounds like the toys might cost more than Skylanders, but it also appears that the toys contain far more content. I'd be willing to get the toy if it virtually came with a new game. That's a big step up from skylanders. The mention of creating your own content as well... that sounds really huge. Perhaps each character also includes art content from their associated theme that's only available if you've used the character. This might be more of a forced money pit than skylanders is... by far. I'm curious to see how this plays out.

 Just saw the pricing, don't know how I missed it the first time, but that is NOT happening these things cost more than skylanders!!!

Agreed, copy cats for sure! Sorry Disney, but for some reason I don't think this will be as good as Skylanders. Disney and Pixar characters just don't seem to be as popular as they once were, at least not for kids 8 and up. Not to mention how much will the characters or sets cost? Skylanders has already ripped off thousands of parents these last couple years, I highly doubt parents will be falling for this again. My son has pretty much all the Skylanders, do you really think I wasted my money on them and will turn around and start collecting these? Ha, yeah right!!! Too far into Skylanders sorry Disney!!!

Copy Cats, I care about games not toys u connect 2 games

@BigAl519 If you are talking about gamers you know and trust sure I agree with you but if you are going to trust anonymous reviewers on a metacritic site over critics that you can look up their track record and compare your own tastes to, that's a larger leap of faith.

DLC for the kids? Disney infinity should make a lot of money. there are almost endless Disney worlds to base figures on.

Now let's see if there's anything of actual value in this game or if they're just trying to rip off our kids and sell them overpriced junk.

Disney games aren't that fun since Kingdom Hearts

oh boy new toys to collect 

Can you download new characters/sets without buying a happy meal toy?

So no coins, figures and portal like SKYLANDER. One thing Disney has over Activsion better characters. Infinity video shows more then dungeon crawler.

Activision needs to step up there game and put their character in Skylanders.

Oh dear... We've gotta take action against ideas like this before the concept that consumers are there to be taken for everything they've got spreads wider...

It is about time that there was a Skylander competitor.

Who cares if they put star wars, Main danger is  Marvel for activision, They had a Lot More characters to put :)))))

This kind of thing is for kids you can see why adults wouldn't like it.  No reason to keep hating on it when its not meant for you.

This is Guitar Hero vs Rock Band all over again. Do you think the NFC devices will be cross game compatible? And how long will it be before they are forced to make them so.

I liked Skylanders. It is an interesting take on the 'collect them all' system. I am actually damn shocked that a Pokemon game didn't go that route...could you imagine? Either way, my son loves it, he earns his Skylanders by helping around the house and spending $10 on a reward is better than buying him a new game all of the time. 

This however, I don't really like it. I love the franchises and the worlds look awesome but the execution just doesn't seem right. Characters can't be played in those characters worlds...wtf?! That would have been an awesome feature. Like Kingdom Hearts. It just worked. 

The toybox mode sounds interesting but for the ages that this is going for, those kids should NOT be on xbox live yet. My son is 10 and the only thing he plays online is Minecraft with me and his mother in the same house. 

I will keep my eye out but I just do not like it at the moment.

wait.....disney, using merchandising, to milk hundreds of dollars from parents? SHOCKING.

The direction the gaming industry has decided to turn is insulting to gamers' intelligence.

As much as I was interested in this game prior to this news, most of that excitement is gone.  All I want to do is buy a game, play a game, complete a full game.  If they want to sell these physical DLC characters fine, but have them be outside of the full game story and all that.  Make them an expansion, not bits and pieces of a full game, this is just as bad as a lot of F2P and micro-transactions, except the free part is gone.

lol Skylanders is an obvious money pit, which seems to have worked. Why not copy it.. it is a fad and will die out. Better to jump on the band wagon before it's too late. Hopefully they will use some of the profit to make the new Star Wars movies decent.

As for buying this, or Skylanders.. lol no way. I'll buy a game, but I'm not going to pay for each character to unlock quests.

So in all it is a DLC fest disguises under plastic crap

Since they now own the properties, Disney Interactive can eventually add the Marvel and Lucas Arts (and possibly Kingdom Hearts) characters to the Disney Infinity game. I know those will sell as well as the Disney-Pixar Characters.

i would have liked it if the characters could go into eachothers worlds, havent gotten skylanders so maybe i'll hold out for this, i love pixar and disney

Hmmm... Star Wars Infinity and Marvel Infinity?  Yeah, I think Activision might have something to worry about.

They all look funny. :/
