Disney is on its third installment of the ever fun Disney Infinity line of games. This most recent addition to the crew includes not only Marvel and Disney characters but also those of the Star Wars line of characters including Yoda, Darth Vader and Han Solo to name a few. But this only scratches the surface for this game which is fun for everyone. This game is great for beginner gamers because of this easy to pick up and play game play. Each player picks their character from the Disney Infinity figures they own, characters for the previous 2 games work on the third iteration, and play as them throughout the game. There are specific levels which work with specific characters and all characters can be used in the Toy Box, which is our personal favorite part of the game. This portion of the game is player created. People from all over the world can create and share their creations with others and the best are featured as such in the Toy Boxes section of the game. These Toy Boxes show just how robust the game is as well as how creative the players of the game are as well. The little guy loves Disney Infinity and the addition of Star Wars characters as well as new Marvel and Disney characters are an added bonus. This is also a great jumping on point for new players of the series as well, as toys from the previous games in the series work in the Toy Box as well, which is a nice touch.
We are also going to look at Tri Force Heroes from the legendary, The Legend of Zelda series. This game has similar game play mechanics and visuals as A Link To The Past but also includes some new ideas like climbing on top of one of your fellow players in order to solve puzzles and attack enemies. This game is built on the idea of team work, some levels giving each player a different tool, item or weapon in order to solve their own portion of the puzzle, while others have the players work together using the same items. Either way the levels are a blast to play through and make for a fun way to spend time with friends and 3DS’s . There are a total of thirty two levels to progress through each a different challenge then the last and each bringing your group closer together in their quest to save the princess from a fashion emergency.

These games would both be great for my nephews. The game they would love the best I think would be the Star Wars Disney Infinity 3. Both of them love Star Wars. Thanks for the review.
We’re still on Infinity 1.0 but I think we need to upgrade after seeing this! Thanks for the news on this new games.
Omg!! This looks awesome!! I’ve been wanting to get the Wii U. I went to see the new Star Wars movie and it was splendid. I love Zelda. It’s one of my favorites too. My 3DS is great and have been wanting to get a Zelda game.
I am not a gamer myself but I know a couple of people who are and they play with their kids! This sounds like a great birthday present–one that can be continually enjoyed throughout the year and beyond!
