One of the most original concepts to hit the industry in the past two or three years, Skylanders is also just fun to play.
It may be simple in presentation, but the execution is near flawless, and all the extra content shows a great level of dedication on the part of the developers. Skylanders is certainly a full and unique gaming experience.

It feels weird considering this as one of my all time favorite games but this game holds up so well. The difficulty is on the easier side but it is so replayable, the collectables are fun, the battle mode is great, the heroic challenges are good and of course the figures are heaps of fun to collect, the combat is great with each character having unique attacks and ability' and the story and characters and plot and npcs and voice acting, it's all great. I don't know what else to say about this game it is so fun even to this very day and it is in no way due to the nostalgia is gives me. I give this game a solid Glumshanks/10

The first game in a glorious franchise. I have a lot of nostalgia for it. It looks a bit on the graphically weak side but I would never downgrade a game for that as long as it functions. And it does and does it very well indeed. The gameplay is also a strong point with a nice difficulty curve that never does get too difficult. The toys to life function was very magical back in the day. Its more standard now, or well 5 years ago it was. The figures weren't too expensive and were reliable and for the most part, durable. The game is a reasonable length with 22 levels and 4 extra levels. I have had issues recently with crashes but it autosaves so its no problem. Just a minor annoyance. Its a fantastic game, the toxic spyro fans can keep spyro, he's barely in the game anyway.

I admit it, I enjoyed the time I spent hacking and slashing my way through the hordes of funny foes Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure threw in my way. I just wish it didn't cost as much as it does to unlock content that's already on the game disc. [Dec 2011]
While the game is fun in its own right, the figures and portal make it into more than just the average adventure game. The price may be a little steep, with the game constantly encouraging players to buy more characters, but the figures are well made and make great collectables.
Given that the elements designed around its collectability are the game's biggest hook, though, it's hard to recommend to those who'd play on the cheap. If you aren't willing to shell out for the plastic, then you should reconsider clearing some shelf space for this one.
Decent game hindered by hidden costs. [Jan 2012, p.98]
I am a big spyro fan and I think that out of all the games i have played this is the best. It has a great campain and a great story line. It has diffrent carictars that you can play with and that's the best part, because not everyone likes spyro I do and i have play them all like 1,000 times thats why i like spyro but like i said befor not everyone likes playing as spyro.

This game looked cheesy to me from the go. Obviously catering to kids with little to no thinking skills, which could keep them occupied for weeks. I beat the game in 6 hours. It felt like an easy 800 points for my achievements. Not much replay value for someone over the age of 15. I easily leveled 11 characters to 10 and unlocked all their skills. I did that by farming xp on spiders that appearently never stop spawning. The idea of the little figures on the portal was cute. But the game play vs buying all the toys not worth it. I could see if it was marketed and programmed correctly, you could have online play, with 2-8 or 16 players in different modes. Though the easy game mechanics need to be adjusted. The battle mode is simple and cheesy... 1 vs 1? Ick. I remember playing games like gauntlet dark legacy, which I found more playble. I think the game has so much potential. Does not deserve a 10. The game is really short for the money you would drop on the toys. The challenges for each toy is kinda hard... Kinda. I didn't hate it, but I didn't feel rewarded enough for leveling all my guys to 10 and beating the game to consider buying 20 more little toys for 10 bucks a pop.
With that note, I thought micro-transactions were ethically wrong. You can buy a pirate boat to unlock missions that are built in the game but you gotta buy that boat.
Game cost what? 60 bucks? The pad is another 10 to 15... Then 30 skylanders are 30-40...120 150 bucks for 5-10 hours of game play. Give another 15 to 20 hours to level all those 30 skylanders to 10... Not worth it. A game should offer at least 30 hours plus for 60bucks. That's 12 movies from the 5 dollar bin which gives me 24 to 30 hours.
