Jetzt eigene Meinung abgeben 81Von : Zu Beginn m�chte ich erst einmal sagen, dass mir dieses Spiel im Gro�en und Ganzen sehr gefallen hat und Spielspa� garantiert ist. Es hat zwar nur schwache Parallelen mit der Story der Serie, ist an sich aber fair vom Schwierigkeitsgrad, die R�tsel (wenn man sie R�tsel nennen kann) sind entsprechend der USK-Einstufung nicht schwer. Die zu erwartende Spieldauer von ungef�hr 10 Stunden ist meiner Meinung nach zu kurz. W�hrend die Story des Spiels an sich in Ordnung ist, wenn auch nicht �berragend, so ist die Steuerung pr�zise und f�llt leicht von der Hand. Die Grafik ist detailliert, die 3D-Funtion sollte man aber nur bei den Cutscenes aktivieren. Der Sound ist original wie in der Serie, gut ins Gameplay eingepasst und unterstreicht die Atmosph�re dezent(an manchen Stellen etwas zu dezent). Apropos Atmosph�re, die Welt von Chima basiert ja auf der Macht des Chi, dieser Aspekt ist zwar im Spiel und der Story existent, wird aber gef�hlt nicht mit dem n�tigen Ernst r�bergebracht.
Trotzdem ist die Atmosph�re einladend und der Spielspa� garantiert. -schwacher Bezug zur Serie Kurz um: Gutes Spiel welches Spa� macht und f�r Fans der Serie einen guten Kauf darstellt.Neal sits down and tries to sort out Disney Infinity, Lego Dimensions, Skylanders, and Amiibo.Since the toys-to-life trend erupted in 2011 when Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure debuted, each year has been more bombastic than the last, whether it was the addition of numerous Skylanders Minis and Traps, the launch of Disney Infinity in 2013, or the debut of Amiibo in late 2014. This year might take the cake for the most balls-to-the-wall insanity in the toys-to-life landscape, though, as Amiibo is now in full swing spread out across multiple games and series, and Warner Bros.’s Lego Dimensions is set to launch in just one month. Oh, and Disney Infinity is adding Star Wars figures just months before the sure-to-be-record-breaking release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This should be a busy year.
So in an attempt to sort through the turmoil, I’m going to go over each of the four core toys-to-life properties. Join me in psycho-analyzing why I’m probably going to drop hundreds of dollars on all of this, and also what you can expect from each game. Primary Launch Date: August 30 Cost of Everything Available on Day 1: About $400 Cost of Everything Announced: $500 and counting Amount of Times You Can Reenact Han Shooting Greedo: Purportedly Infinite Disney Infinity’s third year already seems light years beyond everything they’ve done before. The Star Wars addition aside, Disney Infinity 3.0 seems to have a balanced amount of Disney figures coming from all different franchises. Last year’s 2.0 release was so heavily focused on Marvel characters that the only new Play Sets were for the Avengers, Spider-Man, and Guardians of the Galaxy. All of those Play Sets were basically identical in gameplay. The new Disney characters, including Aladdin, Donald Duck, and Baymax, were all only functional in the Toy Box mode.
For Disney Infinity 3.0, that changes. Much like the Marvel content last year, Star Wars is the focus with countless characters and three unique Play Sets. This time around, there looks like there will be more variety and more content. The curious highlight is the Play Set for Pixar’s latest movie Inside Out, which takes the five emotions on a side-scrolling puzzle-focused adventure. That’s a far cry from the three Marvel Play Sets from last year that were all slight variations on 3D beat-‘em-ups. In addition, there are two other adventures planned that make use of a wide variety of characters. Toy Box Takeover is a new mode (sold separately but included with most pre-orders) where any figure can be used to fight against The Incredibles’ villain Syndrome as he threatens to destroy the world of Disney Infinity. The recently announced Marvel Battlegrounds Play Set makes use of all of the Marvel characters in four-player local multiplayer (a first for the games). From my perspective, I’m looking forward to Disney Infinity 3.0 mostly because of the Star Wars component, but it’s nice to see Peter Pan and characters from Tron Legacy join the fray.
Also, Disney is starting to move towards my original hopes for Disney Infinity: a way to make solid licensed games in a more cohesive experience. They have plans to launch figures from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur, and their 2016 animated film Zootopia already, and it looks like there are even more figures on the way. Primary Launch Date: September 27 Cost of Everything Available on Day 1: $450+ Cost of Everything Announced: About $800 Lego Dimensions is trying to be punk rock. They’re coming right into the crowded toys-to-life scene playing loud-ass music complaining about how the authorities are corrupt and are giving you a raw deal. Disney Infinity keeps your characters limited to certain Play Sets? Your Lego dudes can go anywhere! Wonder Woman with Doctor Who and Scooby-Doo! Tired of the same slightly tweaked portals in Skylanders everywhere? Eat it, Stealth Elf! You can build and customize your portal with Lego bricks and junk. The noise that Warner Bros. was causing when Lego Dimensions was announced obscured the fact that little-to-no gameplay was shown for a while after the reveal.
With the gameplay now out in the open, we know exactly what we’re getting (as if there was any doubt): a Lego game. Now, once you set aside the fact that most Lego games feature hundreds of characters and now you need to spend cold hard cash to get access to the growing lineup of Lego mini-figures, Lego Dimensions looks like a very fun game fusing a lot of disparate licenses together in an interesting way. I’m weak: I can’t resist the allure of Back to the Future and Ghostbusters. I might not be in on day one, but I want to play this game. And the way Warner Bros. is pitching this is that they’ll just keep adding new adventures that you can play with all of your characters. If that is indeed the case, that’s exciting, as that means you can take on any of the game’s stories with Batman, Peter Venkman, Homer Simpson, and Legolas. That is kind of awesome. Primary Launch Date: September 20 Cost of Everything Available on Day 1: Around $350 Cost of Everything Announced: Roughly $700
With the other toys-to-life series throwing around Darth Vader, Gandalf, and Mario, Skylanders is, in a way, playing from behind despite their two-year head start. As the dude who gave Skylanders Giants a 9.5 on Wii (I still stand by that), I’ll contend that Skylanders is likely the best video game series out of the bunch. However, in a world where the toys are just as important as the gameplay, that doesn’t equate to a knockout punch. Fortunately, Skylanders has developed some familiar faces over the years, which is likely why half of the new figures are all redesigned versions of old favorites such as Stealth Elf and Trigger Happy. That’s also likely part of Activision’s motivation for working with Nintendo to bring Bowser and Donkey Kong to the Nintendo versions of the game. The major addition to Skylanders SuperChargers is vehicles, coming in land, sea, and air varieties. While a player can rock through the Diablo-lite gameplay with just the land vehicle included in the Starter Pack, the online multiplayer racing might be more of a reason to dive into the wide world of Skylander vehicles.
Primary Launch Date: Rolling (but sort of the 11th of September) Cost of Everything Available This Fall: About $400 Cost of Entire Smash Bros. Series: $700+ Cost of All Skylanders Amiibo: $300 Amount of Life-Size Amiibo: 1 Amiibo’s fall is a mixture of well-defined and murky. We know, for the most part, what to expect, but we don’t really know how smoothly it will run. The first big day is September 11, which features the launch of Super Mario Maker and the 30th Anniversary Mario Amiibo. It’s also another big day for the Smash Bros. series, which is almost complete. But the more interesting components of Amiibo this fall are the ones that are being positioned as major components of big releases. Animal Crossing’s pair of new games, Happy Home Designer on 3DS and Amiibo Festival on Wii U, are entirely based around Amiibo in potentially novel ways, with the introduction of a new Amiibo figure line and the first appearance of Amiibo cards. Happy Home Designer is out in Japan already, so we have a better idea of how that will work.
