In fact, once night of playing a few levels will almost a guarantee you'll be running to your local retailer or searching on-line for new collectible action figures to blast into the included "Portal of Power".
Speaking of which, these action figure scuplts are quite impressive, with great detail and paint jobs! Drop 'em on the cool multi-color, glowing portal and take them for a spin in the world of Skylander.
Between finding treasures, taking on special heroic quests, searching for Soul Gems, acquiring hats which add character stats, seeking out hidden areas and purchasing upgrades, there's LOTS to see and do. Not to mention, the fun of switching characters and building up their abilities. The starter kit comes with three characters, but in order to unlock certain side-quest-like areas, you'll need to have at least one character from each elemental class.
If you like games like Gauntlet Legend combined with a Dungeon crawl style affair, you'll simply love Skylanders. I'm no fan of Activision, but they sure have hit it out of the park with this one. Welcome back Spyro - you are now forgiven for that charmless past. I love this game.
The plot is amazing. I just love collecting all of the skylanders. Sometimes my mom even plays with me! It makes me tremble I love this game. It makes me tremble in fear and sometimes just feel really happy! When I got this game, I wasn't expecting too much good few hours of fun but this game is addictive!

However, they've all been turned into toys and blown to Earth. Players must find these toys and send them back to their world to fight the villains. They do this by placing a toy on a special portal that comes packaged with the game.
Skylanders Spyro's Adventure is an absolute blast to play. It has all the fun, challenge, and excitement of classic adventure games like Banjo-Kazooie , Ratchet and Clank , and even Super Mario The game looks great graphically, has a clear and simple a control scheme, and offers a load of variety that goes far beyond just the changeable characters.
There's some great writing in here, too, especially when it comes to the humorously creative deathtraps that Kaos comes up with like a waterfall full of sharks. There's a legitimate gripe about having to buy extra characters in order to fully experience all the areas of the game world, but if you take that out of the equation and rate the game on its merits as a game, it's definitely a great one.
Plus, the toy characters can be used to play in a friend's version of the game, and they bring their gaming history with them whenever they are inserted into a game. Families can talk about the concept of buying characters to use in a video game.
Do you think this is a fun innovation that allows you to customize your experience? Or do you look at it as a way for game publishers to simply make more money? Parents can also discuss video game violence with their children. Does the cartoony nature of the fighting in this game make the violence here more palatable?
