    my second favourite game. A magnificent improvement and huge innovation in the games industry. It's a wide range of dudes to play as my favourite being Drobot and Ninjini. The oracle level is brilliant and the final one is awesome. Buy this!

    Great gameplay and protagonists, but the villain is so comic relief-y! Why does there have to be such a stupid and generic antagonist as him! For the love of God, lose Kaos and you have a great game on your hands!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like the game because of it's great humor most of the humor comes from Flynn but it's just so nice to have an character like Flynn only problem are the legendary treasures I only saw 2 of them during my play through and got 1 of them I had to watch a guide to find them but the story is very ok but the chapters are way to long and it's way to hard to find everything in 10 mis I only got 1 star in every single chapter of the game. The music is GREAT I like what they did with the music on flynn's ship.(that every song there is a remix from the main part of the ship) overall it was very nice to play but sadly very short. Please give us a second skylanders game like this.… Expand

    I replayed this game and I remember everything. The story is good, the multiplayer battle mode is the cherry on top, and my favorite game in the series. Everyone that is a fan of skylanders should 1000% try this. You will not regret.

    I definitely have nostalgia goggles for this game. 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 itI definitely have nostalgia goggles for this game.

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

    This game will always hold a special place in my heart, this game has a mediocre plot, but if you don't care about story like I do this is one of the best third party wii games you will ever play, the characters in this game are very memorable and NPC's like Flynn are some real fun once you hear him talk. Overall very nostalgic and very fun to constantly replay.

    This was the first game I played in the series so it’s the one with the most magic for me. I love all the characters available and at the time the toys to life mechanic was fresh. The Giants are just bigger skylanders but they are fine for what they are. It’s a really fun game and the graphics hold up well.

    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.
