Previous play sets from the “Disney Infinity” series focused on kart racing, dungeon crawling and child friendly first person shooting.
Right, Star Wars has sort of come and gone in Disney Infinity this year. It will also be compatible with every Marvel figure released to date, giving it the most figures of any Play Set.
In Twilight of the Republic Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Yoda, and Ahsoka Tano discover that a Battle Droid factory on Geonosis has been activated.
After a half hour of gameplay, you’ll be able to wander a bit more and this is where you’ll have the most fun. It’s like a third person action adventure with light sabers. “The four-player arena style combat gameplay is an ideal way for friends and families to come together and play in head-to-head battles with a few of their favorite Marvel characters”. These stats and upgrades are then saved on a chip in the base of the character. Games like this benefit from multi-part objectives, such as the raising of cash in portions, to allow the player to get a lot out of their surroundings.
The voice actors are really close to the voices of the movie characters. Our review called 3.0 bigger and better than its predecessors. Throw in the various play sets, expansion games, power disc upgrades, and you have a game that has a nearly endless gameplay.

Battlegrounds will feature a new four-player mode and an all new story. Everyone who attends will get an exclusive figure ahead of its retail release, so godspeed to those of you with the fortitude to wait in line. Developed by United Front Games in conjunction with Avalanche Software, Marvel Battlegrounds will feature four-player, arcade brawler gameplay and a brand new story that will see Ultron and Loki join forces in an attempt to procure one of the Infinity Stones. I easily give Disney Infinity 3.0 a 4.75 out of 5. The new 3.0 edition stretches to open-world 3D platforming and combo-ready combat with both range and melee attacks; 2D platforming that can be very classical in its approach; Diablo-like dungeon crawling; weapon-loaded kart racing; and a terrible lot more besides.
