Overall very nostalgic and very fun to constantly replay.… Expand

The game consists of fun puzzles and realized combat. The game has a wide array of enemies and many different unique scenarios. The gameplay is the strange part. Having to buy so many figures to truly experience the game can be drag to some. For people who just want to play the game the three characters given to you is enough, although it leaves some to be desired. I had many characters as a kid that stay dormant in my garage. Not counting the pay to play elements of the game it’s a very fun 3D platformer with a passable plot. I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to play it, but if you do I’m sure you’ll find some enjoyment… Expand

The levels and puzzles are not particularly challenging, even for my 8 year old, but the kids enjoy the combat element of the game. If it weren't for the need to buy new toys to further the game, the novelty factor would wear off quickly. While it's fun for them to spend their pocket money on the next Skylander toy, in terms of hours of gameplay Mario Kart Wii is much better value for money.… Expand

   Oh Skylanders...you've been a pain in my wallet ever since middle school. These games have peeved me for what feels like generations...and yetOh Skylanders...you've been a pain in my wallet ever since middle school. These games have peeved me for what feels like generations...and yet I keep returning to Skylands for another adventure regardless. I was really excited to return to Giants, hoping to clear Nightmare Mode and the story level challenges to boot. I reseted 8 Skylanders to start from scratch, in order to polish my skills through harsh conditions. See, Skylanders games, excluding Spyro's Adventure...are all easy to complete thanks to Easy Mode. It makes the game more enjoyable for younger and new players who are just looking for a fun adventure. The ability to change the level of challenge along with multiple unique characters to play as, makes each play through feel more enjoyable than the last. That's one of the biggest advantages of the Skylanders series, a new character can make levels feel fresh, so it's worth it to buy new Skylanders to replay old levels in new ways. Though I'm not completely satisfied with the new Skylanders line-up. In the beginning...Spyro's Adventure released 48 Skylanders, along with a few altered figures like Legendary Bash. Giants however, releases a total of only 16 new Skylanders, along with powered forms of classic Skylanders. It may not seem like much, but generation 2 makes up for that with booming new abilities. The Giants are great for combat purposes, they can send enemies flying with big attacks and charge through enemy blockades with ease. However, their low speed makes them sitting ducks in smaller areas, its best to play them in larger areas, so they can also avoid the attacks of the bulkier enemies. Believe me, Crystal Golems eat Skylanders for breakfast. Their unique "feats of strength" abilities are sadly just situational though, making them feel more like slightly bigger characters rather than ultimate warriors. They're at there worst getting stuck between large enemies with no means of escape, beautiful. Lightcore Skylanders are great for retaliating against hoards of enemies. They can smash the earth with a strong burst of energy like the final attack from an Adventure Pack figure. Very handy for creaming hoards of enemies, not so much for those who carry shields. The new Skylanders...just exist for fun. Since we can no longer cross water in the main game levels, regular Skyalnders are completely worthless. And then their's Series 2, probably the best choice for competitive players. Classic Skylanders are given a brand new move, along with the ability to change their skill set. That's great for forming strategies to take on different kinds of levels, unfortunately, changing upgrade paths also resets the previously used upgrade path. I already have money to spend on Sky Stones and boss fight power-ups! If I wanted to re-train Skylanders, I would just reset them and replay levels! So much for genuine battle mechanics. Also, 8 Skylanders from the Spyro's Adventure were never released, meaning that even with a collection of reused series 2 Skylanders from other games, you would still need those rare series 1 Skylanders for total completion of of the 1st game. And in Giants, you can only use new Skylanders introduced in Giants to unlock heroic challenges excluding the rare series 1 Skylanders I just mentioned...how tedious can you get?! You know many people claim how the modern Skylanders are awful because you have to buy countless just to unlock everything in the game. Well, it was always like that when you take the Heroic Challenges and the Villain trophies from Superchargers into account. Its just really hard to get motivated to fully complete these games, thinking about all the crap I need to purchase in the process. And the most useless Skylander award goes to...Lightcore Jet-Vac! Why should you buy a figure that looks no different than the one you get in the starter pack? Your guess is as good as mine. I would say the best thing about the 2nd generation set, is the nostalgia. Since Giants uses a graphic design similar to Spyro's Adventure, these games are like the sky and space. One game has beautiful elemental themed levels and the other...bigger, bolder worlds. Despite all my gripes with this series, Giants represents the big step this series took to better itself. Even if you don't have a fancy army of Skylanders sometimes it just feels good to put everything you got into the adventure. It's excellent that completing Nightmare Mode is sweet accolade all by itself. Decorating my hard working team with the mighty Knight Helm armor reflects my growth as gamer. The best way to play this game is to aim to beat Nightmare Mode after game completion. With the freedom to select a wide variety of colorful characters, play the game in a comfortable fashion. I had more fun playing this game on Easy Mode years ago. But graduating with the Knight Helm has never felt sweeter. This game feels even grander to play after beating Spyro's Adventure. Skylanders Giants, big steps to enhance the experience.… Expand
