That being said, the missions vary from each other and the developers had the unfortunate luck of both franchises being set in the same city. The Spider-Man Play Set is disappointing in the fact that it’s the same world and structure as The Avengers Play Set, just with a few swapped assets (the lack or addition of Oscorp, etc). While some missions can become repetitive, they never over stay their welcome, and overall there’s a surprising amount of variety. Players can choose an Avengers hero of their choice and take to the streets of New York to stop crime from an assortment of enemies, collect seemingly endless collectibles and participate in hundreds of side-missions. The Avengers Play Set is basically a redux of The Incredibles Play Set last year, as both are sandbox-style action games that take place in similar big cities (and seem to share assets). There are currently two more Marvel Play Sets available: Spider-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy. The Starter Pack includes only The Avengers Play Set. It’s annoying that 1.0 Play Sets don’t work with 2.0, but even if Disney continues to do yearly incompatible refreshes, it won’t sting so long as every figure remains cross-compatible. These add up to about a $50 value, so you’re really only having to shell out an extra $25 to have 2.0 compatibility. The good news, however, is that in addition to the Base and 2.0 game, the Starter Pack includes three figures - Iron Man, Black Widow and Thor, two power Discs and a Play Set. So unfortunately those who have already purchased 1.0 will have to buy the 2.0 starter pack to utilize any future Infinity releases. The bad news is that nothing from 2.0 works with 1.0. The good news is that everything from 1.0 besides Play Sets will work with 2.0. 2.0 marks both new refresh for the platform and an era of incompatibility. As we’ve already gone in-depth about the functionality of the platform in our review of 1.0, this review will focus on what’s new in 2.0.īefore we get cracking on Marvel Super Heroes, let’s talk 2.0. Dubbed “2.0 Edition,” the new line skews mouse house and Pixar classics in favor of Marvel super heroes. Disney is picking up right where they left off by refreshing the brand this year.

But there’s worse addictions to have and if there’s one thing to be learned from my example, it’s both the staying power of this brand as well as the physical appeal from a collector’s standpoint.
And Toys R Us… You see, I have a problem now that can only be solved by acquiring more Infinity figures. Since then, my self-control has failed and I have indeed picked up a number of new characters for my collection at Target.
