[clarification needed] Characters, playsets, and other features are brought into the game using figurines and discs with the included Infinity Base.

[5] Each playset is essentially a self-contained world with its own gameplay, based on a specific film or series with recognizable characters and storylines.

These include Pirates of the Caribbean, Monsters University, The Incredibles, Cars, The Lone Ranger and Toy Story in Space.

Players can mix and match everything that is unlocked within each of the play sets including characters, weapons and gadgets.

By unlocking new content in the Disney Infinity play sets, players are able to build their own worlds and essentially create their own game.

Players can also earn "spins" by playing through playsets or leveling up their characters, which can be used to unlock additional items.

These versions of the Toy Box utilized the web codes included with each Disney Infinity character.

When the figurines are placed on the Infinity Base, the characters are imported into the game, while world discs unlock Play Sets.

However, a patch was released on February 28, 2014 that added in all six Play Sets, putting it on par with the console versions.

[11][better source needed][12] Due to the space limitations of the Wii platform, some design decisions had to be made in the game.

Awards, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences nominated Disney Infinity for "Family Game of the Year".

Steven O'Donnell of Good Game: Spawn Point stated that "it's a bit like Minecraft in that you're dropped into an open world that you can then build some pretty spectacular structures in.

"[50] Kevin VanOrd of GameSpot called the Toy Box "a gleefully entertaining shared space," and greatly preferred it over the story mode.

Andrew Reiner of Game Informer said that "characters repeat dialogue way too often," and that the soundtrack is "often surprisingly absent.

"[44] Andy Robertson of Forbes stated that his children loved playing the figurines, both in the game and as toys.

[52] Kevin VanOrd of GameSpot called Disney Infinity "a platform designed to keep you spending money.

"[53] In September 2013, Disney revealed that the game had sold 294,000 copies in the United States during its first two weeks on sale.

The starter pack contains figures of Iron Man, Thor, and Black Widow, with figures being released separately alongside the game such as Captain America, Hulk, Hawkeye, Falcon, Loki, Stitch, Maleficent, Donald Duck, Tinker Bell, Princess Merida, Hiro Hamada, Baymax, Aladdin, Jasmine, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Ronan the Accuser, Spider-Man, Nova, Iron Fist, Venom, Nick Fury and the Green Goblin.

[58] On May 5, 2015, Disney announced a follow-up game through Game Informer, Disney Infinity 3.0, for release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, iOS, PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 in 2015, featuring characters from the Star Wars universe and Iron Man Hulkbuster.
