To continue in the meantime, one either has to go back to the last checkpoint and try again, or take the figure off its spot on the base and replace it with another. In multiplayer, you can resurrect the deceased, but in solo player, it’s a case of waiting a few minutes for the character to come back around. One new wrinkle with 2.0 is that once a character dies, they don’t respawn immediately but stay eliminated from play for a while. Suffice to say, deaths in Infinityare bloodless, with the figure coming apart on screen like an articulated action figure being bust into pieces. It’s a point that’s as shifty and slippery as imagination, and will be better understood through play. In these imagined exploits, the Iron Man toy is Iron Man, and he has all of the smart-mouthed arrogance, hi-tech weapons and beat ‘em up abilities that you’d want him to have – that you’d imagine he does have.Īt the same time… he’s a toy. The game screen is a window onto the adventures that you might well fancy your little action figure could go on. What actually happens is the video game equivalent of child’s play, with your TV screen or monitor providing a view into the mind’s eye. Now, playing as a toy doesn’t mean that the game details a Borrowers-style or Toy Story-ish adventure with little Iron Man scampering up the table leg or Black Widow stomping spiders on the windowsill. They made sense of a design language that allows Nick Fury, Stitch and Buzz Lightyear to share the same stage – and because every character is a toy, to do so at the same scale. There’s a Disney Infinitystyle that all of these various characters have been filtered through on their way to becoming these little vinyl collectibles, and its amazingly flexible and consistent, all at once. You’ll also love your toys just because they’re beautifully designed and well made.
The developers have gone to great pains to tie the physical toy to its on-screen representation in both obvious and subtle ways. The transition moment is nicely played too, with lights on the Disney base illuminating the character in time with an equivalent effect on screen, and the virtual apparition of the toy breaking out of its fixed pose and welcoming you with some characteristic quip or another.
