    Bring the Skylanders to life. All the Skylander characters from Skylanders Spyro's Adventure, Skylanders Giants and Skylanders SWAP Force work with Skylanders Trap Team, including an entirely new cast: The Trap Masters. Trap and play as villains: Take control of bad guys. Trap bad guys with the power of TraptaniumT, release them from the crystals and use their awesome powers for good. [Activision]

    I'm not gonna lie, when "Skylanders: Trap Team" was first announced, I wasn't really all that excited. While the game certainly looked like another fun "Skylanders" affair, I worried that the series would steer too far into the "standard" territory, where it just felt like "another year, another game." Fortunately, "Trap Team" has enough charm and wit to keep me coming back.

Fortunately, "Trap Team" has enough charm and wit to keep me coming back.
    "Skylanders: Trap Team" retains the fun gameplay that made the "Skylanders" series so fun for me in years past. It still controls well, the pacing is rock-solid, the game is accessible and visually, it's fantastic. "Swap Force" already had great visuals, and this time around, it's no different: they're bright, colorful and nice on the eyes. The new Skystones Smash mode is also a lot of fun, there's a LOT of content to unlock in the game, and I'm not gonna lie, the feeling of being able to trap a villain is pretty neat and fun overall. Not only that, but the villains you can trap are pretty humorous and charming.
    I can't lie, though, despite some nice, minor changes to the game, this doesn't feel that much different from previous "Skylanders" games, and it's definitely not the evolution to the series that "Swap Force" was. Beyond that, some of the big problems do add up overtime: the removal of certain game modes, the overpowering of newer characters making the game feel a bit imbalanced, and the more obnoxiously toyetic nature of this game, definitely serve as annoyances for me.
    All in all, though, "Skylanders: Trap Team," while not the strongest entry in the "Skylanders" series, is still a solid and fun entry that's definitely worth it if you're a Skylanders fan.

    Skylanders: Trap Team is an extremely fun video game from Activision's Skylanders series. It's the fourth instalment in the Skylanders franchise and kicks ass! Gameplay is great and the graphics are amazing!

    One great feature in the game are the stages, which are creative and look fantastic. They reflect on the Skylander's elements.

    Or the characters in the game, which are fun to play and their figures look great!

    But I do like the new added feature in the game where you can trap powerful villains and use them later on for good. It's something a bit different and it works!

    But one small problem is that the game encourages you to buy more and more content you purchase. The creators of the game have been using that style evening since the first instalment came out. But really, it drives me NUTS!! They do encourage you to buy more content such as: Trap Masters, Traps, Skylanders, AND A WHOLE LOT MORE!!

    Overall the game is a great experience for your child to play and is great fun, especially multiplayer! It is definately worth your money and is the best game in the franchise by far!    … Expand

    This is my favorite game ever made. If it wasn't for this, I would not be the gamer that I am today. The character designs are cool, the levels are so creative, the story is simple, but fun, and the voice acting is top notch. But being able to capture your enemies and play as them is the coolest thing I have ever seen. I can't imagine any game being able to just let me have so much funThis is my favorite game ever made.

    My absolute favorite game. I think that every part of Skylanders is an absolute masterpiece, but this one is my favorite. Unfortunately, the prices of the figures are very high and the entire gameplay is a rip-off. However, it remains a part of my childhood.

    Another enjoyable adventure clouded by an ill-judged soft-reset for existing collections everywhere. [Christmas 2014, p.73]

    It’s a well made children’s game that suffers from the fact that a large proportion of the content is locked behind the toy-paywall.

    Skylanders: Trap Team seems intent on forcing players to open their wallets if they want the full experience of what the game has to offer.
