I was looking forward with bringing in the wrong characters into areas!
Pathetic. My interest has dwindled to almost nothing, I'd be satisfied to just try it in the store now.

I don't want to tick anyone off, but after seeing many reviews and even the Skylandersdad and boy and girl not like the game, all I can say is I knew this game didn't stand a ghost of a chance. Also I was surprised the game was more boring looking than I thought it would be. The intro seems like the only part that seemed fun in all honesty.

I agree with this 100% (although I though the Skylander Kids liked it? Have they played/reviewed it yet?) And if you think the console versions are bad, you should see the disgraceful 3DS version...they're just Mario Party clones..the problem with the game is that it's trying to do SO MANY different things, and none of them are well executed...except maybe the toy box, but that has it's own problems. I can only see kids playing toy box for maybe 15 minutes until they get frustrated with the confusing controls and quit. I knew this game was gonna fail...so glad I resisted the urge to buy it (I'm a huge Disney nerd/fan so it was quite hard!)

Oh yes they have and you should see it. After the video with them buying the figures they liked, they did a reviewed the game itself and it did so bad, that in part 1 Skylanders Dad had to play on ahead because the kids just quit during the video and got bored quickly. I knew they were gonna do bad, but never thought it would be this bad. I've never seen them so unenthusiastic and they actually looked very bored.

Just so you know, IGN gave Infinity (console versions) a 8.7

i read the ps3 version had issues...

read.
http://kotaku.com/ps3-version-...term-1164072959

nice of disney to release a broken game... specially a game that is this expensive... you would have thought that they bothered to test it before releasing it to one of the biggest platforms out there...

the worst thing was that you cant go everywhere in the game with your 12 dollar figurine and upgrade disc in blind bags for 5 dollar each.... what a joke..


just another reason not to buy this....

Quote: Pyrofer

Oh, it sucks by the way.

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/ga...isney-name.html

Everything I was expecting and then some.

talk about cherry picking though.....every single other review I've spotted for it has been between 7 and 9/10 and similar. Why are some determined to hate it.

Only issue is yep the 3DS (being a different game entirely) and the standard Wii versions suck...and there is a massive update patch glitch with online in the PS3 corrupting saves that needs to be fixed up, if it hasn't already yet it will be within a day or 2 I suspect - but yeah thats a big screwup......but try to be a little devils advocate here

My local TRU only had one customer buying Infinity products, and that was me.

Best Buy I went to afterward, not only didn't have everything from launch, but no customers buying the product. So far, it seems to be a huge bust in my area.

I can't say I blame customers, though. Disney is Disney. Same old stuff, just a different day. Couple that with the fact that TRU/Disney pulled a shady move by making their exclusive pack have the same exclusive disc inside (which the ten discs are going to be wave 2 discs anyway, just one can get Mikes Car now instead of October), and the confusing menus for the game itself, and I can see kids being more frustrated by this game, than anything.

Heck, I don't suck at games, but the flying controls are downright horrible in Infinity. DOWNRIGHT... HORRIBLE! I am a master gamer, so imagine what kids will be doing when trying to fly.

OH, GET THIS! Unlike Skylanders, when you claim ownership of an Infinity figure, it resets to level 0 and loses all of its gold. I laughed so hard. Skylanders allows you to switch ownership as much as you want, and the figures still retain all of their data.

Infinity has some HUUUUUUUGE problems. I am kind of regretting buying it. My kids love Minecraft and such, but Infinity's Toy Box really isn't as easy to build with as games like Minecraft and Little Big Planet. Too many buttons involved for little ones if you ask me.

I am not worried about Skylanders stance in all of this anymore. Not after todays lack of people turning out for Infinity and how confusing and ho hum the game is so far... and this is coming from an owner who owns all of wave 1, even all 20 Power Discs... plus Mike's Car.

maybe you should do a youtube game review?... to warn people from get into this game...

Even the reviews that say the game is good and score it high clearly outline the bad points but seem to ignore them when rating it.

There is a LOT of "paid" reviews around.

I am not "determined to hate it", quite the contrary, I wanted it to be good. It just isn't.
If you watch the footage on youtube and listen between the lines on the reviews you will see it's quite a lacklustre game.

There is a scene where a car drives off a roof in ToyBox mode and drops to the ground. It then proceeds to float around like a buggy 1980's tech demo of what games could be like in 10 years before flipping the right way and driving off.
It seems Physics don't get a look in.

Everybody admits the controls are at best "confusing" ranging to "stupid" and "terrible". The driving and flying controls are panned, which doesn't bode well for "Cars" and "Planes" playsets!

It is fairly clear it's buggy, more so than a lot of games. It's been rushed. They admit the Pirates level is the best in the starter set then go on to say that you spend a large amount of time bored sailing around.

The whole "You can't do 2 player with the starter set" SUCKS! I can't imagine how many people are angry about that one. The whole thing I wanted to do was play as wrong-world-characters in other worlds.

I want Sully in Pirates and Jack in the Incredibles. You can't however.

I think competition is good, I wanted this game to be good, but when reviews about this game that are positive talk about how "Creative and innovative" it is, crediting it with inventing the toys to life genre, you KNOW it's all BS.

When you level up, it gives you a spin for a new toy in the toy box. Up to Level 15 so up to 15 spins. This makes sense to reset it when you change ownership. You'd be a bit peeved off if you bought a character that was already levelled up and so couldn't gain the extra toys in toy box mode.

I do wonder though....if in GameSave 1 if you level up to level 15....then reset ownership to GameSave 2 and reset ownership back to GameSave 1, will you get an extra 15 spins all over again...good way to gain extra treasures if so

Stopped by target, the shelves were packed and fancy looking but it didnt seem like any of it was touched <.<

My gamestop had the stuff behind the counter. I got my game, violet, both 3 packs, and a power disc pack. Then I went to target for the Lone Ranger Playset.

No playsets. Truck comes Tuesday. Got a rain check.

I got dash and 4 more power disc packs at target.

The good part... The buzz lightyear power disc I got

I have a feeling this will crash and burn after a few months. Not hating on the game, but I think that.

I CAN'T move things that aren't in the sections I moderate! I moderate the Spyro Games and Video Games section.

Ha ha.. I picked up the crystal LMQ and that is it. Limited edition figs are always good to have... No starter pack or other figs. I will buy INF when the starter packs are 1/2 price... Should be in about 2-3 months from what I am reading and hearing. Figs should drop also.

anyone tested the online game play on this yet?....

Quote: kappapopm

anyone tested the online game play on this yet?....

If you have a PS3 you can't. Apparently the Day 1 patch freezes the game after the tutorial and the PS Network requires you to fully patch games to play online. You can make it work by deleting the patch, but then online won't work.

All of this is pretty much what I expected of this game. Nothing to worry about for Skylanders fans (not that even if it was great it would have harmed Skylanders). I've read good reviews and a few bad, it all depends on the person playing. I don't think reviews are "paid", because even the good ones mention flaws. Let's face it, what is an awesome game to some is mediocre to others, and just because a reviewer likes it doesn't mean they are paid. It might just be something they enjoy. After the Kane & Lynch deal at Gamespot, most sites are very careful to not have reviews affected by advertising - it simply isn't worth the damage it does to the game or site. Gamespot is STILL reeling from that controversy - no one takes ANY of their reviews seriously, at all.

As far as myself, I at one point had it pre-ordered. I had a price mistake locked in on a couple packs at Best Buy for a while where they would have been $12 instead of $30. But, I cancelled it all - too many great games coming out and I don't think my sons would put in the time to make it worth it. I am considering buying some figures, because they are cool - but I'll wait for the game itself to plummet in price, then maybe try it. It isn't that I personally think it is bad, but I just got Pikmin 3, Dragon's Crown, Duck Tales Remastered and Mario & Luigi Dream Team. On top of that Rayman Legends is my most wanted right now and it comes out in two weeks. I'm full up on great stuff, and after that my gaming budget is going to be taken up by Swap Force, which I am starting to get really excited about.

I find that guy mentioned that bought out the figures and packs pretty funny. He is just speculating, hoping the game hits big so he can resell. At best, if it does, he will have to hold on to those a long time before they are worth something. It isn't like this game isn't heavily stocked. It's everywhere. I personally think the heavy stocking this will provide some good discounts in the near future, maybe low enough for me to try it out. Tying up hundreds of dollars in an unproven franchise that may not ever be worth good scalping dollars seems very foolish. Within a couple weeks you will probably see the Starter on sale for $50. By Black Friday even less. That isn't a knock on the game, even Skylanders got down to $35 for the starter on sale for Black Friday.

@defpally

i know the ps3 version is broken but what about online game play on the wii/wii-u, x360,pc?.... how good is the online gameplay on it and what can you do and options?... and can you only play with invited/friendlist or is there option to connect to strangers?....

Here's a good review that matched my experience pretty well, though I didn't get into the Toy Box mode yet.

My Amazon pre-order arrives today so I'll get more experience tonight.


Note: Toys R Us had a buy 1 figure get the next 50% off. So, sales already exist.

Yesterday (on release day), I was at Target, Walmart and Gamestop for errands and "chase" variant hunting. There were only a few people who bought the starter pack and characters at Target, nobody cared at Walmart and and a small group at Gamestop. At all three stores there was a huge supply of starter packs and characters. I really liked the look of the characters but I don't think I will be adding Infinity to the game library. My youngest who's 9 isn't at all interested. He would probably get it only for Lightning Mcqueen and Mater. But we already have all the Cars video games that have been made and he stopped playing those a year ago. Like our Skylanders collection, we have a huge lot of diecast Cars. lol

Kind of hard to make out what you are saying here. A lot of unrelated words without context.

However, as you mentioned Blu-Ray as some sort of advantage, mind you the only advantage for a system using Blu-Ray is simply more space on the disc. It doesn't make graphics better or a faster frame rate. Sound quality is the same. Literally the only advantage is space, which is irrelevant for most games including Infinity. That game likely fits easily on a DVD (since I'm certain it is one disc on all platforms). Most games fit on one disc, with space to spare. So much infact that the concept of on-disc DLC rears its head far too often for people to complain about.

Wow....couldn't even finish watching that...Disney Infinity is crap. Can't wait to see this game crash and burn. HEY DISNEY, INSTEAD OF MAKING BAD GAMES, STICK TO GRAVITY FALLS!

This thread is pretty funny, when you have a preconceived negative attitude toward something, you seek out examples and information that supports your claim, ignoring everything else ie a political party believing only polls that support their candidate and are stunned come election day when their candidate tanks.

I was at the retail stores when Skylanders Spyros adventure launched, and if you predicted it's success based on how many people were buying it then it would have been a flop. We were the only ones buying it at Target, one other person at Best Buy and one other person at TRU. But hey, if you want to cherry pick observations, go ahead.

My kids played DI all day and woke up early to play it some more before camp today. I watched them play for a while and played with them for a little bit, my only gripes are that there aren't more "template" toy box worlds. The characters only being able to go into a specific playset is somewhat a downer but having played the Monsters University ps a little, they would have had to drastically change the game to allow outside characters because most of the missions require the "scare" ability.

That said, I expect more template worlds will be available in the future and I'll bet that there will be more "generic"/all star type playsets that will allow any character to participate.

They are DRASTICALLY different games so judging it through a Skylanders lens makes as much sense as judging Skylanders through a DI lens. But whatever makes you happy and makes you feel better about all the time and money spent hunting down your Skylander collection. I know many on here WANT DI to fail and I don't get it, they are not political parties, they are just different games.

Great post Zylek

Disney Infinity got my $275.00 for the starter and all the figures and sets plus the TRU exclusive Lightning McQueen for my lil man(4yrs old) and he loves it right along with his Skylanders. I'm a "true" skylander.. but give it a chance til Swap Force comes..

I absolutely believe it's too early to tell if DI will flop or not. Similar to what Zylek said, it took awhile for Skylanders to catch on. Once Christmas came, Skylanders were hard to find until about March of the next year. Makes me think Activision didn't have any idea that it would catch on like it did either. Giants release didn't have that problem and I'm sure Swap Force won't have that problem either. We're not clamoring for DI, but if the price drops significantly enough, I'm sure we'll pick it up.

While I don't usually trust good or bad reviews, I think many of the positive reviews failed to give a feel of what we're spending money on. If it is true that D.I. was made before SSA (which I kinda doubt) then they should've took cue from them. D.I.'s biggest feature, Toy Box, is limited by the fact you need to buy playsets to access more things. Another big negative is that this is mostly Pixar stuff. What happened to the traditionally animated franchises, or something like Meet the Robinsons?! Even if they give us Marvel or Star Wars, they need help. I know I know, I sound like another skylanders fan hating on Infinity but unlike some people I actually played it before I finally made up my mind. Another thing that ticked me is that they said that Disney is working on D.I. 2! Even my D.I. fan friend told me that this is the type of game that needed updates and new figures not a whole new game.

EDIT: Please don't decide not to buy it just because you read stuff like this. Try it for yourself and see if you like it.

Went to a local video game store to check out Disney Infinity with my kids. It came out here in Singapore same day as US except that we were ahead by 8 hours due to time differences. We were curious but walked out not buying it in the end. Several things that prevented us from trying it out.

= = =
1) You can't use 2 player co-opt on story mode without getting extra characters. Major bummer since I have 2 kids. The initial start-up cost could be steep. if you were someone who wasn't willing to get extra characters without seeing if the game was good. It's no fun playing by yourself.

2) Packaging power disks in sealed packs, and having rare power disks. Having played collectible card games like Magic The Gathering, I know how it feels to get that nth Llanowar Elf, and opening boxes and boxes without getting that one card that you wanted. What they've done with power disks with just create frustrated kids who don't have deep pockets, and it will create a market in Ebay for that desirable disk.
A pity, since Toybox Mode would have been great. Doesn't make sense that you need to buy power disks in random packs to populate your toybox with stuff.

3) So Disney Infinity will have the ff worlds/playsets:
Nightmare Before Christmas
Rapunzel
Lone Ranger
Wreck it Ralph
Toy Story
Cars

These already came with the basic game: Pirates of the Carrebean, Incredibles, Monsters Inc.

Now let's just say the scalpers who have no interest in the game buy up all the playsets from shops.
Poor folks who really love the game have to wait until stores restock or buy from these guys to access these worlds.

Now lets say the same scalpers bought all the Hoot Loop toys. Does that lock you out of a major portion of the game? No.
Worse they could do is buy all the adventure packs but they don't contain a big chunk of game time. Your Mater toy won't matter until you get the Cars world (except in Toy Box mode).
= = =


Hope Activition does not go down this route. We need more game content and places where we can use the figures like an online site similar to Club Penguin or HeroUp. What they've done with Battlegrounds, the 3DS version, etc is the way to go since you get different game play types with the same toy.

We may change our minds in the future if the reviewers/players/parents say it is all worth it.

I know many on here WANT DI to fail and I don't get it, they are not political parties, they are just different games.

Or, maybe people just don't like it.

I'm not looking through this faux Skylanders lens you're talking about. I played up to the part of Pirates where I got a ship, and while it's cool to sail on the somewhat open seas, it's kind of mediocre. World feels empty. Sidequests like throwing a tired guy in the water he's standing next to, and the fact you have to "re-level" characters just to earn more spins for toys in the toy box just goes to show how it doesn't market itself towards kids outside of the brand name and characters.

Sure, it looks cute. But, when my 4 year old daughter can easily build in Minecraft, but have trouble building in Toy Box, you know it's confusing.

My kids are even afraid to put the Dumbo disc on, to explore the default island in Toy Box, because they know they can't fly, because it takes two analog sticks to even try and steer the thing.

Here, and this is for those who haven't played Infinity yet. Tell me if this isn't a crappy control scheme waiting to happen.

Infinity flying controls are like this -

Left analog: looks up, down, left, right
Right analog: strafe left or right, or press up to go up, and down to go down
Right Trigger/R2/ZR: accelerate

Tell me, what kind of control scheme is that for kids?

There's two menus in Toy Box. One to bring up the wand, and one to bring up the items. Then there is a third bar to bring up actions for objects. Again, what of this makes it easy for the marketed demographic (ie kids) to jump in and start creating?

Seems to me those who really want to defend Infinity are getting a bit chapped at the "needed" hate for this product. Maybe they're looking through an "Infinity lens," as it were.

Again, I am someone who owns the 360 version of the game, has all 20 power discs, plus Mike's Car (fail on Disney and TRU's part), and one of each character. I spent my money yesterday. I have every right to hate on the game, because I see through it's deceptive nature of trying to look like a cutesy kids product.

My kids couldn't even enjoy the playsets, because they had trouble controlling the movement of the character, while keeping the camera in check.

It just isn't that great of a game. People are going to have to deal with that.

Another problem with the game, is you can't play COOP outside of the box. You HAVE to buy a standalone figure to play COOP. Another problem with the game, is that you have to own EVERY character if you want to unlock the vault inside of each playset or do certain challenges in each playset (ie Barbosa challenge pad in the Pirates playset). What's inside each vault? New items for the Toy Box. What a ripoff. This means you also need each playset, in order to fully unlock the potential of the confusing Toy Box.

At least with Skylanders, and I say this as a consumer - putting my fanboyism aside - you only need 1 character from each element to 100% the first game, which can be done by buying 5 ten dollar figures at launch. If you want to 100% Giants, you need only a Portal Owners Pack, if you own one character from each element from the first game. If not, you need only buy 5 characters, if you're just getting into Skylanders with Giants, because you already have your Giant (Life), and two other Skylanders (Air and Undead). Chances are, people are going to buy one of each element. Heck, even if one were to get into Skylanders with Swap Force, you would only need 6 Swap Force Skylanders to 100% the game. That's to cover the Spin, Bounce, Speed, Teleport, Stealth, and Dig zones you need to access to get 100%. Guess what? Those figures also double as characters who can access Elemental and Cross Elemental zones.

So, as you can see, Infinity offers a host of problems and mediocrity, for far more money. It's a HUGE ripoff, because you have to own so much to do it all.

Maybe some people are just smart enough to see it. I'm glad to see reviews listing the game's flaws, which I saw - and were the same - before I even started looking at reviews. I'm glad sites didn't just give it a good score because it has Disney written all over it.

i like gamemaster78 posting here...

lol GM most of your arguments are through the skylanders lens. You are stuck on this 100% game completion concept, this doesn't exist in DI (It's infinite ) But by all means, keep bashing DI for not being able to finish the game with 5 figures.

I'm a fan of both games, as I stated above, we bought SSA day one because I knew right away it was something special. We bought DI because my kids are very creative and loved the toy box aspect of DI. I honestly don't have any allegiance to either game (As crazy a concept as it seems to be for you) because they are TWO DIFFERENT GAMES. In fact, You should be happy there is another toys 2 life game out there, it pushes Activision to up the ante.

Pre-swap force announcement, you were railing on about adding more content to Skylanders during the game cycle to add value and now are against the exact same concept with DI adding Playset content throughout the life cycle.

Alas there isn't any point debating with you on this because Skylanders has obviously hit the "religious" level for you. DI is considered a threat or opposing force. Once that level is hit, no argument against will be evaluated on a rational level, hence this quote from you:

"Maybe some people are just smart enough to see it."

We are lucky to have someone who will show us the light

This is a Skylander forum after all so for sure you'll get alot of Disney Infinity hate from Skylanders die hard fans, as for me i like trying out new games even if isn't good but im not gonna hate a game for not being good.

gamemaster is telling the truth and being honest about di here.... there is no lens or anything, i believe him.

GM's points are things that I've read other reviewers comment on. The bad controls, co-op issue, and having to buy stuff to fully activate a playset are referenced in other reviews too. It doesn't just seem that GM is railing against the game just to be doing it. There are some legitimate issues with DI.

Well the big issue with DI is not only did they screw up the basics of a good game, but if the older fans and adults can't figure out how to handle the Toybox mode, then the kids will have even more trouble with it. I wise man once said if the kids don't mind, then there's no real problem here, but the kids are getting frustrated with the controls and surprisingly losing interest in the game very quickly. I actually thought they would do good on at least the first day, but instead it gets one of the first impressions Disney has left on the fans after so many years.

You are one of the very few level headed non biased people here, it's nice to see. Both games are incredibly different and both games are great, I spent several hours playing DI last night and it was very enjoyable. I can't believe people are complaining about things like being able to control the camera, that's a huge bonus, I have thought many times while playing Skylanders "I wish I could control the camera". The flying and driving controls fine, it may take a few moments to get used to but it should not be an issue for anybody. One of the best things DI has is split screen co-op as you can freely explore without being pulled / pulling your partner around.

Went to TRU and Best Buy today to check it out....

TRU: They made a really big deal about this game...there were signs outside the store like it was for a presidential election..and there was huge cardboard display/archway thing that you had to walk through to get to the video game section! Ridiculous, right? Well let me tell you...the shelves were PACKED. There was maybe like, two characters missing from the shelves...the selection was twice the size of the Skylanders'. So yeah, Disney failed big time at TRU. Not one person was in the video game section looking at the figures. I can't stress enough how many products were on the shelf...Disney and TRU bit off more than they can chew. They also had about 15 starter packs. After looking for some other things I needed in TRU, I walked by the video game section once more and saw two little kids looking at the Skylanders, and placing each one on the portal to see them in action. DI was right beside the Skylanders, and they were completely ignoring it

Best Buy: Not as many advertisements as TRU had...the shelves were also packed with figures and other products that nobody bought. They had about 10 starter packs. Not one person in the aisle except for me.

So yeah, DI is an epic fail so far. No one's buying it or the figures, and it's obvious as to why. Not only can you only use certain characters in certain worlds, but the figures are expensive. TRU had the single figures priced at $15.49. Are you kidding me? 16 bucks for a figure that can only be used in their respective world? Ridiculous. Also, the power discs are about 6 dollars each...and judging be unboxings I've seen on Youtube, doubles are VERY common to get. So, don't expect to be seeing Disney Infinity for as long as Skylanders. Once everyone sees how horrible the game is (and I'm not just saying that just because!) they'll stop buying the figures, and Disney will be at a huge loss of money. I thought this game would at least be popular for the first few months of it being out, but now I know for sure it won't be. Once SSF comes out, this will all be over. Stores are going to regret ordering so many DI things.

Moved to video gaming since I didn't even notice this was in the Skylanders section, I was too busy reading what everyone had to say.

Oops.

*Writes note. Tsk tsk tsk Dark is not gonna like this.*

Wow. So users aren't allowed to say positive opinions on DI?

The prices you are quoting are not the MSRP, if and it's a big if you saw the figures at that price it's the store overcharging. The 2 kids playing with Skylanders couldn't have tried the DI stuff before or after? You must not have any experience with blind packs of any sort, the whole point of a blind pack is that you could get an ordinary item, a duplicate of something you already have or a rare item, also they're meant to be traded. Why do you people insist on basing the games success on whether or not you personally saw anybody buying it at a specific store at a specific time? Do you know what a sample size is? This entire board of people is completely insignificant and not even close to being big enough to gather any worthwhile information, especially when so many of you are hating just because DI isn't Skylanders. You're not just saying the game is horrible? So you own it and have played it extensively right?

Most users here still think DI is a rip off.

And because of that, users can't allow to have their positive say on Disney Infinity and what they like about it?

IDK anymore.

i tell you this... if there is a non bias and a level headed person on this forums, it is the gamemaster78 for sure. he owns all of di released for noaw, so he knows what he is talking about. but you mister 159gems clearly are a none level headed and strong bias person, there is no doubt about that.

LOL I literally laughed out loud reading your "pot stirring" comment there kappa. Keep up the "stir the pot" comedy!

So if Disney Infinity came out first before Skylanders, alot of people will probably say Skylanders is a rip off and that they copy Disney Infinity blah blah blah
