Disney Infinity is an action-adventure game similar to the Skylanders franchise where physical figurines are used to interact with the game. The main difference in approach is that Infinity focuses more on character creation and experimentation with the different elements. The starter version of the game comes with the infinity base and three figurines (Sulley, Mr. Incredible and Jack Sparrow). The base consists of two spots to place figurines that are then imported into the game as playable characters. It also has a hexagonal spot to place up to three power discs. These add enhancements to the game such as changes in the terrain, background, new vehicles or weapons. Red ability discs are placed underneath a character on the base as perks, with a maximum of two per character and four in total. Orange toy discs add gadgets and vehicles. Purple customization discs alter the environment and sky. For orange and purple discs only a maximum of three at a time is allowed. Discs are sold separately in series, blind packages and through specific promotions and retailers. The same goes for figurines and Play Sets. There are also rare discs with a hologram in the middle.

Characters and environments are based on Disney and Pixar franchises such as Pirates of the Caribbean, The Incredibles, Cars, Toy Story etc. The game can be played in a Play Set and a Toy Box mode. Play Sets are campaigns based around a certain franchise with a number of objectives. Each Play Set is a self-contained world and only characters tied to that specific franchise can be used. Play Sets can be played in split-screen with two players working together. During these campaigns objects and vehicles can be unlocked for the Toy Box mode. Almost every character (except those from non-humanoid series such as Cars) share actions such as a number of attacks and double jumps, but each character also has an ability unique to the figurine.

The Toy Box mode removes most restrictions and allows players to create a custom game in an open world environment. Every character, weapon, gadget, vehicle or environment can be mixed. The tools tied to the mode are introduced through a number of in-game tutorials. Multiplayer is also available here and characters can be leveled up and "spins" are earned by going through certain Play Sets.

The Wii version only has multiplayer in the Toy Box, not in the Play Sets (both offline and online). The Wii U version uses the GamePad to access mission logs, packs, and tools in Play Sets, and to access toys in the Toy Box mode. The PC version is free, but does not support physical figurines. These are downloaded as DLC instead.

The Good
Well, the game is free to download, which makes a good opportunity to try it own and see what the game is about. They even made the play sets available as an update to the game, which I think is the most interesting part of the game (I'm not much of a construction set person). Even though it comes with only Mr. Incredible unlocked, the additional characters can be bought online, or unlocked using the download code from the physical figures or the starter packs.

The Bad
For starters, everything must be bought separately, from play sets to characters and power discs. The unlocked content from a console version does not even carry over even though they are on the same player account. Everything must be downloaded separately, including Jack Sparrow and Sulley, who are in the console starter packs.

Some minor parts of the console version are missing. The available adventures are also not the same as in the console versions, and the character-specific ones seem to be missing. This is quite a minor drawback, as everything can be recreated in the Toy Box anyways. The Hall of Heroes, where the player can see the figure's progress and the power discs collection is also absent.

The worst part of the PC version is the controls. It is not user-friendly at all, and a bit broken, too. Moving the character is supposed to be done using the W, A, S, D keys, but it seems only the D and S keys worked. The arrows do work fine, but are not very practical considering the other controls: the Space key is used to jump, and to attack, the mouse clicks are used. So you either move and jump, or move and attack. Jumping and attacking at the same time is quite a difficult task.

The Bottom Line
I see this version of the game as a trial version, or a dumbed-down one. I don't think I could actually play and enjoy the game, or complete the play sets. I will stick to the console game. If you want to create Toy Boxes, then maybe this version would suit your need, as you can simply buy all the parts rather than unlock them by playing the adventures and play sets.
