It was a fairly weak offering, if I’m honest, and seemed to turn the game into a platformer of all things, rather than a combat-focussed sandbox game. Inside Out, based on the Pixar film of the same name, sees Joy and the rest of the emotions running around trying to collect scattered memories. Of course, Disney was about more than just Star Wars, and they released even more playsets just to prove it. There were some memorable moments from these games too: flying through an asteroid field in the Millennium Falcon while shooting TIE fighters? Yes please!
So, with all these sets and figures to buy, including Boba Fett, who is the coolest Star Wars character ever, I will brook no argument on this point – my wallet had been reduced to tears and I had a happy son, as he went around saving the galaxy. The third playset was that of The Force Awakens, based on the events in the film of the same name, with the protagonists this time being Finn, Rey, Poe and the baddies being represented by Kylo Ren. New playsets appeared regularly, including one called Rise Against The Empire, which was largely based on the three classic Star Wars films, featuring Luke, Leia, Han and Chewie, with Darth Vader leading the charge for the dark side of the Force. Just like Disney 2.0 seemed to be all about the Marvel Universe (including, if I’m not mistaken, Spiderman’s last outing on an Xbox before he had “Property of Sony” tattooed on his arse), Disney 3.0 was all about the Star Wars Universe. Flying about between planets and fulfilling all the mission requirements was pretty good fun, and bouncing around dispensing lightsaber-flavoured justice to various ne’er doers was always fun. The playset that came with the game, Twilight of the Republic, featured Anakin Skywalker before he went all evil, and someone I’d never heard of – a lady named Ahsoka Tano, who had a nifty line in dual lightsabers. He’d already played and finished all the content for Disney Infinity 2.0, so moving onto 3.0 was a no-brainer for him.Īt the beginning, everything looked like it was off to a good start. So, not content with buying Skylanders (of which he had 228 unique figures at the height of his collecting) now Disney were to join in giving my wallet a damn good kicking. Well, when this was launched, my son was four, as cute as a cute thing and he had me and his mother wrapped around his little finger. You see, small children are incredibly adept at giving you the big, wide-eyed smile and saying “Daddy, I need this figure, can I have it please?”. Anyway, onto the second part of the things that have stuck in memory about this game, and that’s the amount of money Disney Infinity 3.0 ended up costing me and my wife.
