A Parent's Guide to Disney Infinity - Should I Buy This Game For...?

The game is rated E 10+ by the ESRB for Cartoon Violence. If you are willing to let your child watch the movies the game is featuring then the game should be fine for you. If you're uncomfortable with violence of any kind, including cartoon, I would stay clear.

My Under 4 Year Old
Not unless you're OK with spending a lot of money to let your kid run around or you plan on playing the game yourself. You could play co-op together pretty easily, since only one player needs to complete each mission. It would also be good if your kid was really into the characters featured in Disney Infinity. Young children have a hard time mastering controls in a 3D environment and an even harder time with the camera. The challenges also get too tough for the very young.

My 4-8 Year Old
This is the perfect age for Disney Infinity. These kids will have a blast collecting all the figures and Power Discs. With a little patience they should be able to complete the game on their own and learn how to create simple things in Toy Box mode. They also can play with their friends. If your child is pre-reading they may need a little help.

My 9+ Year Old
This is a tricky age group. If your child hasn't decided Disney is uncool then go for it. This age group is the same crowd that took to Minecraft and should be able to create some pretty spectacular things in Toy Box mode. The single player campaign would still be a bit of a challenge but still pretty simple. They may just want their favorite characters or collect everything themselves to complete the game 100%. With all the extra content to find and online creation sharing there are hours of fun to be had.

Myself
Do you love Disney and video games? Then pick this one up. Great fun for adults to co-op together or play online. The story is not challenging but collecting all the Toy Box unlocks will keep you coming back. Toy Box mode offers so many possibilities and so much more nostalgia!
