One big complaint about the game: its price. The Disney Infinity Starter Pack, which includes three characters, goes for about $75. But that's just the beginning. If you have more than one kid and they'll want to play together, you'll need either a sidekicks pack or a villains pack ($29.99 each). If you're dying to visit Cars world, you'll need to buy the Cars set ($39.99). Finally, if you want to add individual characters -- Mater from "Cars" or Violet or Dash from "The Incredibles" -- they will cost you $13.99 each. And this won't be the end -- Disney will be rolling out more Spaces, including Toy Story, starting in October.
Should you take the plunge? Read some of the first reviews from real gamers:
GameZone: "When you take into account everything that this project has to offer, you quickly realize that there’s just as much to love as there is to loathe. This is indeed Disney’s best venture in recent memory, even if it isn’t anywhere near perfect.
IGN (8.7/10): "Disney Infinity is an enchanting adaptation of one of the richest fictional universes into a surprisingly great game.
TechHive (4/5): "Infinity has gotten a bad rap as nothing more than a menacing money grab, and at some points it is, but the core game is just too much fun for me to stop playing.
Lazygamer (7.5/10):"Disney Infinity aims high, but a prohibitive cost barrier and a few bugs prevent the game from really soaring. Still, compared to previous Disney attempts at breaking into the video game market, this is their best effort to date."
Gamespot (6/10): "This is not always the Magic Kingdom you were expecting." Watch the less-than-glowing review from Gamespot below:
