Even with the short story mode, there’s replayability thanks to 28 Challenge missions with various criteria, but you’ll have more fun playing with the kids in the Versus Mode, trying out all the characters.ĭisney may have missed a trick not allowing for “team-up” moments, as so many of the characters have skills that would complement each other. Captain America’s shield throw never gets boring, ringing with that trademark Vibranium ting every time you hurl it, while Iron Man and characters like him can fly. The Winter Soldier will snipe your opponents, for example, or Iron Patriot will fly over the battlefield and bomb them.Ĭertain characters are more fun than others. Now and then a Power Disc icon will drop in, which you must hold onto until the circular gauge is full, at which point you call in a random hero to help you. Level-specific hazards play a part, too, whether we’re talking about boxes and crates to through at your opponent or trap switches you can hit to electrify the floor or call in the Milano for an aerial bombardment. You can use any Disney Infinity Marvel character from 2.0 or 3.0, and each one has their own moveset including an aerial attack, a ranged attack, and a unique special ability activated by hitting R1 when you’ve collected enough purple sparks to fill your meter. The whole purpose of Marvel Battlegrounds is to let you beat the snot out of your collection of Marvel characters in a variety of arenas. It’s something to do with stealing Vibranium and trying to frame Loki for it, but the paltry four mission story doesn’t do much to explain anyone’s motives.īut then, it doesn’t really need to.

Marvel Battlegrounds is essentially a simplistic four player arena fighter that pits your favourite Marvel superheroes against robotic versions of themselves that are infiltrating Shield for reasons best known to villain Ultron. It’s hardly surprising that with Captain America: Civil War only weeks away, Disney have decided to go for a piece of the Superhero versus Superhero pie with Infinity 3.0’s latest Playset.
