Our grandkids usually play it on a computer NOT connected to the Internet and it works just fine. However, having Internet access is helpful for upgrades.

You only need to connect to the internet for the initial install. After it is installed you can play online or offline.

Yes, once you already downloaded it, the game as well as your saves, are saved onto your hard drive. So you can definitely play it offline.

If you want the updates then you have to hook it in. But there really isn't updates at this point. There is one update as soon as you play to play online, I am pretty sure you need to be online. But playing online is5 really that different then offline, the only difference is obviously more players, but the enemies get stronger.

I believe you can play offline however you won't be able to receive any game updates and you won't be able to do things like upload videos or pictures to facebook or youtube, a cool feature in the game. Your stats can't be uploaded to the network so you can't see how you are doing against other players and also you can't play against another opponent online if you don't have it connected to the internet.

Like most software you need internet to activate the game, but to play multiplayer and to world competitions you have to have internet.

You can just put the game into the leap pad and play, no Internet connection needed. I did eventually connect the leap pad to the computer. It uploads a bit more content into the leap pad. If you don't have Internet or want to connect to your computer, it works right away without it.

You don't need internet access to play the single player story mode, but there are patches that have been pushed out that will greatly increase stability, fix bugs, and add additional features. These patches will require just hopping online briefly with the game.

It is Right. After I installed the game on the steam plataform, I never needed to use the disc again. After installed the game on the steam plataform you can play offline or online, both without the disc.

Well, yes and no. It does need an internet connection to update the patches, which fix a few minor issues. And you need the internet connection if you want to have the option to do the multiplayer, but you can play the game without a connection. I don't have one for my PS3 and it works just fine. The multiplayer doesn't add a whole lot to the experience except random encounters with hostile players and an option to have players join you for boss fights, so if that doesn't interest you, you miss nothing without the connection.

It does not require an internet connection to play, but you will not be able to participate in PVP battles where you can invade other players worlds and they can invade yours.

You don't have to be connected to the Internet at all! My son has been playing this game for over a year and loves it!
