Disney Infinity features 2 modes of play:
Playset Story
6-8 hour adventures set in the worlds of several playsets. Playsets feature characters from that specific franchise. You cannot "cross franchises" in playset mode. They are isolated to the characters of each respective world. The story mode has specific challenges and missions for each character, meaning there may be instances where you would need to buy additional characters to experience all of the content of that world.
Toy Box Mode
Toy Box mode, the meat of the game, is effectively a create your own game mode, similar to Little Big Planet or the Toy Box mode from Toy Story 3, which was the inspiration of Infinity. Create mini games with props and elements from all of the featured Disney worlds. This mode is 4 player co-operative and the shared levels are playable across all platforms.
PR: In the DISNEY INFINITY Toy Box, you can make your own worlds, create games with your own rules, or build places that only exist in your imagination. When you're done, you can knock it all down and start again. As players advance through each adventure, they will collect characters, vehicles, upgrades, gadgets and more which they can save to the virtual Toy Box. At any time, players can access their personal Toy Box and use the items to create one-of-a-kind Disney adventures featuring any combination of characters, environments and items across all franchises. The possibilities are endless and players are only limited by their imaginations.
