    Different toys and characters but otherwise more of the same. Fun, but very easy and somewhat disappointing. There are less levels and very easy puzzles, compared to the first Skylanders game, so much so that my 7yo (not a big gamer at all) completed it with his cousins over 3 days and asked 'was that it?'. Pales in comparison to Lego Batman 2 for depth of play and lasting enjoyment -Different toys and characters but otherwise more of the same. Fun, but very easy and somewhat disappointing.

    Horrible game worst in the whole franchise by far.

    Pros
    -Big giants take a lot of damage

    Cons
    -Weak story
    -horrible graphics
    -repudiative
    -boring story

    Lets face it, don't buy this game...

    Well I bought this game thinking that it could be fun. While the game is somewhat decent, it really bothers me that Activision keeps pushing people to buy a whole bunch of plastic junk. It's essentially "physical dlc" and ends up costing you even more. So to get the full package, you have to spend hundreds of dollars on this single game. That is just despicable.

    Skylanders Giants is one of the games I've looked back on for years and still have many, many fond memories of playing it with my friend. It's story is great, the characters are extremely memorable, and playing through it is just plain old fun. It's one of those games you won't put down for hours.

    Das Spiel ist einfach nur Scam. Ohne nen Haufen Geld auszugeben für Skylander Figuren kann man es nicht durchspielen.

    The gotta buy 'em all mentality is as ferociously addictive as ever, but the delightful characters deserve a more imaginative, better made game. [Christmas 2012, p.108]

    Ultimately, Skylanders: Giants isn't going to convert many gamers my age as I think we might be a little too cynical for a game that's so blatant in its "pay-to-play" model.

    Skylanders Giants is, at its core, a child-friendly dungeon crawler with simplistic smash-everything gameplay, but what elevates it is its understanding of its market. There's plenty of variety to keep kids entertained and loads of things to collect, all wrapped in an appealing package – and the toy aspect is still a stroke of genius, an undeniably cool idea that speaks directly to kids and big kids alike. If you or a younger member of your family is a fan of the series, this could be another expensive Christmas.
