So that's two less play sets than last year's similarly priced starter pack, and while you can view that as the game providing you less content for the same price, I prefer to see things differently. The starter pack for Disney Infinity 2.0 contains three Avengers (Iron Man, Thor, and Black Widow), one play set adventure, and two toy box games (which are like genre-specific little mini-games built using Toy Box tools). My partner again for Disney Infinity 2.0 was my son (now five), and as a lifelong Marvel devotee (thanks in no small part to my constant pushing of the House of Ideas), he was excited to play as some of his favorite characters. The Toy Box is mind-boggingly complex and option-stuffed as never before, but it's also now much easier to create your own worlds and adventures, with the game featuring assist options that range from "give me a hand on this" all the way to "build the whole thing for me." The game as a whole still has its share of problems-the main adventure that comes with it is pedestrian, and there are some technical issues that result in sometimes poor frame rates and broken quests-but Infinity's best part has been made even better. Thanks goodness, then, for the improvements introduced in Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes 2.0 Edition. Son, would you like to have a race on this overly convoluted track I just created? Oh, you'd rather just keep shooting me with that toilet roll gun? I see. My partner in Infinity was my then four-year-old son, and even he seemed to sense my creations weren't up to snuff.
Yet there I was, making boring cityscapes and poorly designed platformers. The game's Toy Box mode (by far the best part of the Infinity gameplay hydra) seemed to offer endless opportunity to create something. I loved playing the first Disney Infinity, but it made me feel like the Molecule Man. Owen had all the power in the universe, but often lacked the imagination to use it.
The only thing that prevented Molecule Man, whose real name is Owen Reece, from being completely unstoppable was his own subconscious, self-imposed limitations. In Marvel comics lore, there's a character named Molecule Man, a "mostly" baddie whose immense superpower is nothing less than the ability to control matter at a molecular level and reshape it to his will.
