So guess who picked up “Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes” edition on Black Friday because it was cheap enough so that I could justify it?
Yeah. Poor choices.
Anyway, tonight we learned the following:
You can build a house. You can furnish that house. You can put tiny blocky animals in your house. We were hoping to go full on crazy Cat Hero, but the game does not give you cats. The game gives you bears.. Our house is wall to wall Iron Man and Thor posters and more than 2/3rds of the available floor space is covered in bears. It’s like a frat house dorm room, except with WAY WAY WAY MORE BEARS than the average.
The other 1/3rd of our floor is covered in rats. That’s Kate’s fault.
Tiny versions of characters roam free, and you can pick them up. Tiny Hulk is adorable. So is tiny Coulson. Tiny Nick Fury is just an angry, angry little plushie. You can throw these guys. They have little parachutes for it you throw them off of a high thing like a building not that we did that immediately no not at all.
Nothing saves them if you spike them head first into the ground. They aren’t hurt, but their heads go into the ground and they flail around for a few seconds. It’s endlessly amusing.
You can pick up little towns people. And your fellow game characters. There is nothing goddamn funnier than Thor holding a tiny Loki townsperson, and both of them being carried by Iron Man. It’s like a pyramid of father issues, power trips and nice hair.
Kate is not reassured when I scream, “Come back, I’m not going to shoot you, my repulsor is up for HUGGING.” Mostly because I then shoot missiles at her.
If there is a flat surface, we will fall off of it and die. often. In a fiery ball of doom if there’s a car involved.
Maybe at some point we’ll figure out how to play the levels.
