Disney’s newest IP packs an awesome punch in “Disney Infinity 2.0”
If you don’t know who Baymax is, just give it a few weeks.
The star of Disney’s new film, “Big Hero 6,” the fluffy and inflatable Kung fu fighting robot is also one of the newest figures in “Disney Infinity 2.0.”
With a slew of attacks in his arsenal, Baymax is sure to spice up the game’s toy box mode. Add in some cool voiceover work and he’s the perfect introduction to the character I you haven’t been as up to date with Disney flicks as you’d like.
Despite his power, Baymax is ultimately a great multiplayer character as well thanks to an ability that allows him to heal characters he picks up. This may seem like a trivial thing at first, but for parents who play with their kids, this allows them to literally protect their kids in the game, making for some fun moments. The first time your kid screams, “Dad, where are you, I’m in trouble,” and you pick them up and run to safety, you’ll get it.
