Disney Infinity 2.0 questions

[Space_Coyote]

After weeks of prodding, my 10-year-old son has finally decided something he wants for Christmas. I was doing some reading on the Disney site last night, but I'm still kind of confused. I see that they have the free download for PC available, and claim a bunch of free content

I know that I'm going to have to drop some cash, but I'm confused about what to buy from their PC Store. They keep talking about playsets, but what about individual characters? Are they just add-ons for the sets, or do they unlock content also? For example, does buying Rocket Racoon character unlock anything, or do I need to get the Star Lord/Gamora playset first?

I was also thinking about getting some of the physical action figures. From what I read, there is a code with them to unlock the character in-game. I assume that I don't need that Infinity Base then?

I want to give him a decent amount to enjoy with Avengers/Guardians of the Galaxy, but I can see the cost rising quickly, and I don't want to buy too much in case he doesn't like it. We also have a 360, should I just buy it for that?

This is what steam says about the the base and characters.

NOTE: The PC version on Steam is ALL DIGITAL. You do not use the physical base or the physical toys to play.

As someone with kids that likes skylanders, I'm tempted to get them the PC version of disney infinity so I don't have to buy all the characters. But I think I'm going to get it for the 360 so they can get the full experience with the toys.

I would say get the starter pack for the 360 and if he likes it he'll do all the research for you. That is how mine were when I get them skylanders the first time. They did the research on what ones they needed.

So since the topic was breached...

I must be getting too old for this shit. I looked at some of that Skylanders/Infinity stuff in the store and had no idea how any of that shit works.

Yes you will need Star Lord/Gamora playset to play as Rocket Racoon in the main game. You can still use him for daily challenges and toybox mode. I learn this the hard way getting Vemon then learning I needed the Nova/Spider-man starter.

You can save money going PC since you buy digitally, no figures to worry about. But 360 has some pros like playing with a friend (in Toy Box mode only I believe).

The Disney Infinity 1 "free" game is pretty nice. You get Mr. Incredible and pretty much his whole world/missions to complete.

Disney Infinity 2.0 is a big demo. You have unlimited play for the most part in Avengers, Spider-mans or GotG world. Sadly you can’t save and have to start from scratch every time. They even seem to change out characters you can demo like right now is Hawkeye and Iron Fist are “free” for a limited time.

I’m going to point out the free PC version from Disney website have very limited resolution options. So much so I can’t seem to get the screen centered on my monitor no matter what I tried. Maybe the Steam version fixes this? I have no idea.
