It is a good and bad game depending on how you look at it. When I first got it, I was so excited because Infinity looked so awesome but with a family, my gaming time on a tv is hard to find, so building the worlds in the toybox on my DS was exciting. When I played it, that is not what I found and put it away after playing an hour for a few months.
I tried it again later after my expectations were crushed and found it was not too bad of a game. If you want to play the Infinity you know then this is not what you are looking for. This game is very much like Mario Party with the Infinity characters. It can be a very fun game to play on its own, as long as you don't expect it to play as an Infinity on the go.
In my opinion the battery life is not too good on the portal. It connects via the wireless beam near the cartridge slot and has to be straight on to read. The good thing with that though is that you do not need the portal unless you are changing your character. The characters you have loaded stay on the system until you choose another. I believe you can have three or four characters loaded on the system at once for your team.
Contrasting to that I found the Vita Infinity 2.0 is what I was looking for in the 3DS 1.0. It is very close if not the same as what you have with the console version. The portal connects via bluetooth and charged with a USB plug. The downside is that for a portable system you must always have the base with you and in a position where the character and discs can sit on the base.
For a good price the 3DS version is worth trying out. You may want to check the used games prices and see what it runs for without a base and see if you can get the base either separately or together. Just checked gamestop's website and the used game runs $5 and portal is $3 so that may be a better route since you have all the figures.
