![]() ![]() It’s so heavy that it has to be carried around with two hands above your characters head and it also provides a few clever challenges in the level where you have to get the weapon to a certain section of the map to complete an objective without the ability to fly or swing. Nothing terribly advanced mind you, but a lot more engaging than the Avengers play set that comes in the starter pack.Īn interesting weapon you gain access to is the symbiote cannon that fires a wave of sonic energy. Though the levels themselves are rather bland and pulled from the first chapter of the how-to-design-a-video-game handbook, they include a few platforming sequences and minimal puzzles based around getting batteries into power conduits. A lot unfortunately are made up of boring sewer environments, however there are some neat levels that make use of Mysterio’s particular skill set that I wish there was more of. There’s a lot more levels included here than in the Avengers set where everything seemed to occur on the city streets. Right off the bat you’re given a S.H.I.E.L.D car with flight capability so if you bought Iron Fist and Nick Fury, they don’t have to feel left out. The problems with traversing the environment are not an issue like they were in the Avengers play set: Spider-Man gets around by swinging, which is pretty forgiving not having to anchor your web line to anything but incredibly fun as always, and Nova who is the best flying character in the entire figure line so far with his human rocket power feeling especially powerful and nice to look at with the blue aura the surrounds him.

The story is pretty basic, and typical of the less than inspired tripe you find in the TV series, but it’s a decent enough set up to, you guessed it, punch a lot of symbiotes. The Green Goblin along with his hired flunky Mysterio ( WRITER’S NOTE: Mysterio figure, please!!!) have kidnapped Venom and cloned his symbiote to create an army to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D and take over New York City and the world. The set is actually better than the one that comes in the box, but a few of the same problems still rear their head. One of the first out of the gate is the Spider-Man play set, inspired by the Disney animated series Ultimate Spider-Man, where Spider-Man is teamed up with a group of young S.H.I.E.L.D agents including Iron Fist and Nova, who are playable characters with one being included in the play set. ![]() ![]() Whereas the first Disney Infinity game came with three different play sets in one package, this year model leaves it up to the player (or the parent of the player) to purchase the remaining two independently. ![]()
