    The fact may dismay parents but this is an excellent sequel that goes to considerable effort to inject new ideas and fix earlier problems – making it one of the best kids games available today.

    Skylanders: Swap Force is a somewhat-fresh take on the franchise with a really satisfying new element of mixing and matching character halves, but let's not pretend that it's going to take the series' fans by surprise.

    Skylanders Swap Force is fun from start to finish, and outclasses its predecessors in depth and breadth of content.

    Skylanders Swap Force brings back a very familiar game with a few upgrades and a slug of new characters. Those that are huge fans of the franchise will be comfortable with this familiarity, while those that are just getting into the game for the first time will find a very fun and additive title.

    It's just what we've come to expect from a Skylanders game. Bright and beautiful and fun with little stress, this game is great for families looking to have a fun, easy time. It's forgiving on the game-unfamiliar but can still be entertaining to the gaming veteran.

    You could be mad about the "pay for more" method of the game, but it doesn't try to hide the system at all. You know full well what you're getting in to when you get this game.

    If you enjoyed the other games, you'll like this one. It's more of the same, but the same was good.    … Full Review »

    This game is more marketing gimmick than reasonably-priced video game for the kids. Buying this game doesn't allow your child to play the full game, just part of it. You have to continue to buy additional content in $10-$15 chunks so that your kid can keep playing. To unlock the entire game costs over $200. That is a terrible price for this game.… Full Review »
