Disney Infinity
Disney has given us the first look at its Cars-themed play set for Disney Infinity, and you can see it in action for yourself in this exclusive video.
If you haven’t been keeping score, Disney Infinity is the Mouse House’s new gaming initiative that pulls together familiar characters and environments from the company’s various franchises. At least that’s the marketing speak. For the rest of us, it’s a game (in a planned series) that combines video gaming with collectible figurines. The biggest draw is probably the Toy Box mode, which allows players to pull their favorite Disney and Pixar characters and construct their own play spaces and even games. (Check out the trailer at the bottom for a basic overview.)
As we revealed in our recent magazine feature, one of the game’s play sets is based on Pixar’s Cars. Players can play as Lightning McQueen, Mater, Holley Shiftwell, and Francesco Bernoulli, as they prepare Radiator Springs for a Grand Prix event. In the clip below, you can see Lightning coursing through the canyons and on the dusty roads around the town.
On the toy box front, players can pull a variety of elements into the mode, including ramps, flaming hoops, and gravity-defying loops.
Disney Infinity launches this June.
