Otta Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 My tech savvy 5 year old (6 in April) has started showing some interest when I'm playing xbox (VERY rare these days), and I was wondering about games for her.Saw this on Amazonhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/Disney-Infinity-2-0-Toybox-Pack/dp/B00MTG1TD0/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1424010705&sr=1-1&keywords=disney+infinity+toybox+meridaSeems to be Disney trying to cash in on the whole Minecraft thing. In theory I think she'd love this (especially as you can buy a separate Elsa to use in the game). But I don't know how hard they are to play, and I wouldn't want it to just frustrate her.She has ASD, but she is very good at the computer / searching for stuff on the TV / Netflix, and stuff.Just wondering whether anyone has tried this game and if it's any good?

Mrs TP Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 There are loads of videos on youtube of people playing it. Our 6yr old daughter loves watching them but I am always close by to check the language, nothing too terrible but odd inappropriate exclamation. But you watch it to get a view of the games. Disney Infinity annual 2015 is available in Poundland Peckham.

curlykaren Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 My son (6 last month) got the marvel version for Christmas, am not sure why you are likening it to Minecraft as I don't see any similarities at all. Having said that I know that he/we have not spent much time playing in the 'toy box' which seems to be the area where you create your own games. The set you have copied a link for only operates in toy box mode. The little we have done in toy box is really very lovely with very good tutorial, wonderful graphics and several characters. I don't think it would be frustrating, addictive maybe!!

Otta Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 I don't know that much about minecraft but the video I watched of the toybox option reminded me of it in terms of creating landscapes.But I could be completely wrong.Thanks for your replies, will definitely check out some more YouTube.

Otta Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 I think my daughter would get a lot out of just being able to wander around and explore a landscape without actually having a game to play and enemies to fight.

curlykaren Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 You don't have to necessarily take part in missions when they come up, they are stored in a mission log and can be accessed at any time although sometimes 'monsters' may appear they can be engaged in battle or ignored. My son also enjoys just going around using the various characters abilities, some fly, spiderman travels using webs etc. IMO it's a game that can be enjoyed on lots of levels.
