Disney Universe on 360

Disney Universe Screen Shots

Disney Universe is a Platforming game available on the 360. It can be played in Cooperative modes.

Disney Universe is a Platforming game. Platform games task you with getting from point A to point B. The world you journey through is usually based on different levels, and populated with enemies, switches and lifts to be negotiated. As you work through each level you pick up various collectables that accrue score, special abilities and access to hidden areas.

Disney Universe can be played in a Cooperative mode. Cooperative Multiplayer games provide an experience that is played symaltaneously by multiple players. Unlike the simple arena competitive multiplayer style games where players try to kill the most enemies, true co-operative games are designed to take a group of players through a campaign experience together. This will involve sections where players have to work together to proceed - either from the sheer difficulty as in Halo 3 on 360 or by the design of levels such as LittleBigPlanet on PS3.

Novel Gamer review Sun, 26 Jun 2011

Disney Universe initially appears to be a derivative four-player platformer, but actually provides a rare kind of competitive and co-operative group adventure.

It's fair to say that visually Disney Universe invites many comparisons to LittleBigPlanet (ed: and maybe Castle Crashers?). The diminutive big-headed figures, each wearing a helmet shaped as a Disney or Pixar character, are very close cousins to Sackboy. However, having had some time to see the game hands-on it's a very fresh experience. There's a great mix of group arcade-combat -- each player whacking the enemy with a movie-themed prop appropriate to their character -- and puzzle/adventure sections. It's this variety of group combat and occasional co-operation that sets this game apart.
