Oh, at long last...something OTHER than the Wii that provides fun for my daughter and myself at the same time.Just a little background: my daughter and I shared adventures on Super Mario Galaxy and then Super Mario Galaxy 2. Both games have resulted in excellent bonding moments. Now, however, as she nears her 9th birthday, her gaming capabilities have increased. She's a Mario Kart master and doesn't necessarily need my skills to complete a Super Mario Galaxy level.Thankfully, Skylander's Spyro Adventure has entered to fill that void. With starting characters Spyro, Gill Grunt, and Trigger Happy along with a wireless portal, the father/daughter team has returned to deal out punishment to our latest enemy...Kaos.

To begin with, my kid loves this game. He plays this all the time. He even connects the portal to his laptop and plays the online version when the Playstation is unavailable (due to dad playing his games).But, the only reason for the one star detraction is based on the fact that more emphasis needs to be placed on versions of games. I thought that I had thoroughly researched this game prior to purchasing as a Christmas gift, but unfortunately as soon as my son opened the game, his response was "ugh, all my friends have Skylanders "Giants".How is a parent to know that this is an old version, and the "Giants" is the new version. Please put forth a notice or alert system when games have new versions available; especially if the versions aren't "numbered",

As a veteran RPG gamer I had originally bypassed this scheme of games as I have been more into heavy hitters like the gems from Bethesda and Blizzard and had figured it looked just too childish and cartoony plus the idea of having to purchase the characters to play seemed just too much of an extra expense for a kiddie game. However one fated day I went into a local Gamestop and saw the used characters and some of the new / old ones in packages for way cheap caught my interest plus I read up on the game and figured why not try it out and see what the hype is all about. After acquiring all the element characters needed the game really reminds me of of an upgraded Gauntlet Dark Legacy expanded

I have to say I love this game! Me, My husband, my 8 year old son and my 5 year old daughter all like to play it. They really took a lot of time and thought about what works in a game and what doesn't. All the dialog is spoken was well as written on the screen, now I don't go to the TV every few minutes to read what the game is saying. The characters can't harm each other so I don't have to hear the kids fighting over shooting each other. Also the goal of the game is to work together. Plus they have been playing it for several hours and are only 25% done. There is still many hours of them to play with just the few characters they have. Then when they get more they can always go back and replay the levels with the new characters.

Skylanders is a series that's been running for three years -- almost four now! -- and it is just amazing. "Spyro's Adventure," the game that started it all, does have it's flukes, but is an overall great play. Lots of levels, an interesting villain (which is something many games lack) and great family fun. Many people complain about how expensive the characters are and how you need all 32 to beat it, but that's where they're wrong. You need all 32 characters to 100% the game, but everything that you need to beat the game comes in the starter pack. Speaking as someone who has only played SWAP Force before getting this game, I think the graphics could be better and the upgrade system is confusing.

We bought this for a PC. It is Dell desktop about 4 years old (64 x 2 dual core processor 4200+ 2.20GHZ 2.0gb ram memory)it wouldn't play! So i bought a new graphics card from PC world for 24.99 fitted it myself (so easy and I am a mummy not a computer techie). It is a fabulous game for my 7 year old great to look at..only downside is that we have all 16 released characters at present and in the space of 6/7 weeks threee have gone faulty.My son is very careful with toys so they have't been misused but the techie at Toys r us said there is a computer chip in them which is not very robust.One I returned to Toys r us and the others have been replaced by the excellent warranty service on the activision website.

First time giving this series a try. I'm not a huge fan of the new Spyro in comparison to him from the original trilogy by Insomniac, but the gameplay itself is interesting. The level designs are pretty and the ability to use and upgrade different characters makes it a unique experience similar to other collect and play games. I worry that it will become a money grab in some sense because of lot of areas and things you get will work for specific characters. I really don't have much of an interest in collecting all of them, but at least one of every element to cover most of the basis. I'll update this review if need be as I play more, but so far,

My two 6 year old nephews love this game. There's plenty of stuff to do, the characters and areas are imaginative, and there's not extreme violence or anything like that. The music is great too. It's fun to be able to upgrade your characters as you get points too. New levels open up as other levels are finished, so you constantly have stuff to do. It's a neat concept to be able to go back with/switch out characters of specific types to open up previously inaccessible areas.Only downsides I'd say is that sometimes the levels can get a bit repetitive, and the characters are expensive. My nephews really like this game though, and that's all that matters. Pricey, but it keeps them busy haha.

This was the big Christmas item for our family this year. I had looked at reviews from other video game sites and decided it would be worth the additional cost. I'm not sure if the kids were more excited about the little game figurines or the game itself. Regardless, they seem to enjoy both as they play the game constantly. I was happy just knowing that the "pod" was wireless and didn't require stringing out any cables. Setup was simple. After putting in the batteries and plugging in the wireless USB receiver, the kids took it from there. I'm glad to see the gaming industry coming up with interesting gadgets like this. It really does add to the overall playability of the game.

I swore we would never have both the Disney Infinity collection and Skylanders collection, but I could not pass up this deal for $10 for a PS3 starter pack! One feature I didn't know upon purchase but love is that the portal is wireless with a USB receiver. So my son just keeps the portal on the couch and doesn't need to get up to add/change the characters. Of course we will need to get more figures as the starter pack only contains 3 and it doesn't cover all the basic elements, but I knew that when I decided to buy it on sale.

This was a present from Santa for one of my kids. It is really cool. I like that it works via wireless USB, unlike Disney Infinity. My kids ages 5 & 7 really enjoyed playing in battle mode and can't wait to get new characters. The characters it comes with are cool. The kids especially loved Gill Grunt (say that 5 times fast). The only downside that I have is that the disc was not latched in the case properly, so it got pretty scratched. It seems to work fine so far though.

The first game in the Skylanders franchise, and still the best one. The rest of the games in the series are great too, but this one just has more depth to it for me....I also have Skylanders Giants, and don't plan on getting any of the other ones, due to the expense of trying to collect all the figures...the first 32 figures are the best set, and if you can get them all (i still dont have all of them), then Im sure youll have loads of fun.

We love Skylanders. A good break from too much Minecraft on PS3. It's like Super Mario Bros. It's adventure-packed and fun-filled kid-friendly game. One of those few games that's worth the money and The time. The only cons is that it's quite too easy for my boy. He was able to finish it in 2-3 days with light playing. It's like Pokemon that you can choose the character fighting. And collect them at the same time.

Its a great game for kids, an excellent way to teach them english, the only downsides is, the figures RFID's (the way the action figures "speak" to the "gateway") sometimes bugs a bit and you have to make some tries to get it to work with multiple figures for multiple people to play.The game also has some low frames per second, which should not happen on the high end gaming rig I have, but its tolerable.

I recently bought this game for my Kid(PC-DVD) for Christmas, I enjoy it and my Kid has the chance of taking his Skylanders to his Friends house which has a PS3 and can carry on playing his Skylanders on another platform.I find it an excellent idea for a game to be so easily cross platform and to be able to carry on with his own Skylanders...an idea which is so successful and excellent at the same time.
