Skylanders SWAP Force vs Disney Infinity Revisited
Cordova, TN; December 31, in the year of our Lord 2013--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is revisiting Skylanders SWAP Force vs
Disney Infinity. Have things become clearer with time? Is it
still a draw? Or is Family Friendly Gaming finally willing to
declare one of these massive franchises better than the other
one? Read on to find the answer to that question and more. It
took tens upon tens of hours of play and replay of both Disney
Infinity and Skylanders SWAP Force for complete impressions to
emerge. Initially it was too close to call. But now Family
Friendly Gaming is finally willing to declare one franchise
better than the other one. This call may shock you.
The third generation of Skylanders includes swappable
characters. The top and bottom halves can be given special power
ups and skills. But this is pretty limited. The various
elemental types are still present. Activision added in some swap
force base types. These open up sections of levels that amount
to mini games. Expect to swap numerous characters to collect
everything in any given level. Skylanders from the first and
second games work marvelously in Skylanders SWAP Force. They can
even level up to level twenty now. There are few reasons to buy
many of the characters from SWAP Force though. The game can
easily be beaten with characters from the original and
Skylanders Giants. Our desire to purchase new characters was
diminished by this. After beating the game there is battling
with friends, score mode, and speed mode.
Disney Infinity started slow. The initial game worlds were
really similar. Yet as the months have come and gone Disney
Interactive keeps releasing more and more Playsets (Toy Story,
Cars, The Lone Ranger). They are also releasing new maps that
are free to download and play. New characters have been released
that thrill families like Wreck-It Ralph, and Sorcerer's
Apprentice Mickey. Toy Box sets like Frozen have also made it to
market. We can not go very far or very long without something
being added to Disney Infinity. It keeps growing and expanding.
Major expectations are in the air for Phineas and Ferb coming to
Disney Infinity in April 2014. Family Friendly Gaming Nation is
itching to play as Agent P. Disney Infinity shows no stagnation.
We are completely done playing Skylanders SWAP Force. The
characters will sit in a bin until the next game comes out. We
keep going back to Disney Infinity. We keep creating our own
maps and submitting them. We play new playsets, and toy box sets
in Disney Infinity. What we did not know initially is the
staying power of Disney Infinity. Disney Interactive has
supported this product beyond anything we could have ever
imagined. They have plenty of franchises and characters they can
add in going forwards. Disney Infinity could literally last for
years. New Playsets continue the game in meaningful ways. So
ultimately Family Friendly Gaming put Disney Infinity ahead of
Skylanders SWAP Force.
