Unlike the original Disney Infinity, which focused more on platforming, the base set of Disney Infinity 2.0 is very combat heavy, akin to Activision's toy-powered series, Skylanders. Venom, for instance, won't be fighting alongside Black Widow in the Avengers playset. There is some crossover with non-traditional Avenger characters, more on that later, but for the most part not every character is compatible with every campaign. Other Avengers such as Hulk and Captain America can be purchased separately and used within the Avengers playset, for example. While the base game includes three figures, which transport them into the game as a playable character when placed on a special portal, additional figures are compatible only with specific campaigns. The Avengers playset features an Avengers-themed campaign, while the other two currently available playsets – Spider-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy – are centered on their respective characters. Playset, in the Infinity universe, is essentially a fancy word for the campaign.

Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes is sold as a base set featuring three figures: Thor, Black Widow and Iron Man, along with a clear plastic tchotchke that acts as a "playset" figure. From the plucky way characters stride toward danger, to the fantastic, real-world figures that power their adventures, it's hard not to be enamored with the sequel.Įach time I plop a new figure on the base and a hero emerges from its magical Disney dust (made up of money and acquisitions), I revert back to that little Canadian kid from the early 90s, spellbound by Saturday morning cartoons.
