    My son and I play this game all the time. He loves to play with the phsyical Skylander toys and then he loves to se them alive on the screen (age 5). As a adult and avid gamer I love the game. It's a pay to play kind of with the different Skylanders but if you can afford it get it. I've spent my money on dumber things.

    The gimmick of the traps is amazing and I had a blast playing the game and searching for the many characters to play as.

    The only issue I had was that, among all of the Skylanders games, Trap Team was the most cash-grabber. It was very expensive and finding some characters at a cheap price was difficult as heck.
    I give it a 10 because I recently solved this problem and I was able to find the missing characters for my collection at a more decent price :3    … Expand

    Outstanding game!! This might not be the best made game, its not an award winner, not even a huge crowd pleaser, but its MY favourite game of all time. The Skylanders franchise as a whole is very special to me on a personal level, anticipating the next instalments helped me through hardships in life, having a physical figure meant I felt connection to these characters. For this manyOutstanding game!! This might not be the best made game, its not an award winner, not even a huge crowd pleaser, but its MY favourite game of all time. The Skylanders franchise as a whole is very special to me on a personal level, anticipating the next instalments helped me through hardships in life, having a physical figure meant I felt connection to these characters. For this many characters to all have unique moveset and personalities, its truly admirable. This is my favourite game amongst the whole series, it does have its bugs, but that makes it more unique than all the other games, and the glitches aren't game-breaking, you mostly have to seek them out, creating a very interesting skill gap for speed running. The upgrade chambers add extra depth to the combat system, and swapping skylanders will always require for you to change strategies, so its rewarding to put hours into the game learning about each characters style and when best to use them. The game is just down right fun, I've never played through this with anything less than a smile on my face. The level design is incredibly creative and showcases so much passion and commitment on behalf of the developers. The trap gimmick to bring life to toys after you defeat a villain is very investing and incredible fun. In conclusion, this is no masterpiece. But a game doesn't have to be perfect to be your favourite, and that's exactly the case with Skylanders Trap Team. This is my favourite game of all time, due to the personal connection I feel to it and its characters, the clever and well executed gimmick helps it stand apart from both the Skylanders franchise, as well as gaming in general. The gameplay is fun and the level design is spectacular!… Expand

    The first Skylanders game I ever got and the reason why i spent hundreds on this series, It's pretty decent especially on the higher difficulties, but I have one problem with it, the higher difficulties only increase the attack of enemies drastically (Except for the final boss I think gains new attacks or something, which by the way is my favourite boss in this series) but then again IThe first Skylanders game I ever got and the reason why i spent hundreds on this series, It's pretty decent especially on the higher difficulties, but I have one problem with it, the higher difficulties only increase the attack of enemies drastically (Except for the final boss I think gains new attacks or something, which by the way is my favourite boss in this series) but then again I didn't play the first one so) I would of hoped a bit more would happen, like make attacks faster that'll be cool, Trap masters are pretty cool but a bit overpowered compared to everything else, Who really cares about story in skylander games Though, Nothing that happens really has a reason, it just happens because Kaos is bored and wants to do some evil stuff. And that's all I'm gonna say… Expand

    This is in my opinion the greatest Skylander game. It's gimmick of trapping villains and using them is just so fun, and the fact that the villains interact with you when your not using them is so cool.

    Buying the Skylanders Trap Team Starter Set probably won’t be enough for you. Again and again, you’ll run into times when you wish you had just a little more cash to buy that colored trap, or that Skylander. But more than any Skylanders game before it, Trap Team makes you feel good about your purchases– even if it’s your kid that gets to enjoy them.

    Back under the creative control of Toys For Bob, Trap Team delivers an experience with enough depth and variation to warrant a fourth buy-in to new toys and a new gimmick.
