Disney Infinity Starter Pack - Nintendo Wii

Overall loved the idea of Disney figures in the interactive platform. Research this item at length to ensure both children could play as that is often not the case with many Wii console games. Never found any information stating that in the WORLDS one player only. Only in Toybox mode that they can both play.Purchased starter pkg. for a good price. The game comes with minimal instructions and had to search and search to figure out why the characters could not play together in what I believe to be the main portion of the game. This may be a limitation with the Wii version only, I do not know. However, knowing this now I cannot say I would purchase this again. Too bad because characters, visuals are well done, however; the whole point was to have game our children could play together. This significant limitation make it something we won't be investing much more $$ in as far as additional characters or accessories.

We love Disney and are familiar with the Skylanders games, so we knew that we would need to buy extra characters for game-play, but the power up discs frustrating. They are is sealed packets, so you have no clue what you are getting. We have power up discs that we don't have characters for and vice-versa. It is frustrating because this game already costs a small fortune and now we are getting duplicate discs, which is a waste of my children's money (they use their allowance to buy them). It seems like a moneymaking ploy rather than family-friendly. I still love the game and Disney, but they have slipped a notch over those power up discs!

This game is probably the worst thing ever for little kids. It's way too complicated for a little kid to maneuver the slew of menus required just to start the game. The different worlds (such as Pirates of the Caribbean) can only be played in single player mode. So, tell your 6 year olds they can only play the lame co-op games together. Yeah, you can build your own worlds. Woo. Hoo. It takes forever and you have to play the game forever to UNLOCK enough pieces to build anything interesting. Save your money or buy Skylanders. Way better game for little kids and the characters cost much less.

Now that we are up and running the kids love playing it. The only two not so great things are that (1)the initial set up/getting started was time consuming and (2) now the kids are looking to collect all the game characters. It came with 3 characters but not necessarily their favorites and not ones from the same movie. The upside is that now I know what they'll want for Bday and holiday presents. Haven't had much of a chance to play it myself but as I stated before, the kids have had a lot of fun with this addition to our Wii.

With the Wii you can only play 2 characters in Toy Box mode otherwise you can only play one character at a time. This product should say so from the get go. You need the Wii U to really get the full impact of the Disney Infinity game. It should have been created just like Skylanders. An expensive investment to buy the Wii U - now you have two Wii game consoles. I would advise anyone not to purchase without investigating first exactly what it entails.

Overall, the game is pretty awesome. I've found that some of the missions are definitely pretty challenging, but not impossible. I love the game's graphics and the voices, while not wonderful, aren't terrible either. There is always something to do and I'm really impressed with the game itself. I also love that the starter pack came with everything instead of spending a ton of money buying six different components.

We got this so that the kids could really get an immersive experience in creating their own worlds to pay in with any character of their choosing. IT's well thought out and enough entertainment for the whole family. FOr us, version 2.0 came out a few weeks after this purchase and while it is backwards compatible, this version will miss out on new characters.

My 10 yr old son was excited to get and play this game. He loves the Disney characters (esp. Jack Sparrow). He finished the game in a very short time and is not really interested in the build your own level aspect of the game. It just was not challenging enough for him. He had fun and enjoyed the game but has not played it since he finished. This might be more appropriate for younger children.
