My nephew and niece love that you take a real toy put it on the portal and it comes to life in the game. Each character has different attacks which make them fun to change. The story and game play are fun, easy to follow and safe for kids. This is a game everyone in the family can sit around a play together. I highly recommend it; I'm off to buy a three pack of new characters, enjoy!… Expand

I am not ashamed to say... I also enjoy playing alongside him. I see quite a few people complaining about the cost of all the characters. But honestly I'm not sure why. Unless you have the desire to buy all the characters at once. Personally, I like the idea of waiting a while and then getting a few more characters. It's certainly cheaper than buying a whole new game. Skylanders is the game I've been waiting for. Pure and simple fun.… Expand

I bought this game for me. They're just my excuse. The game itself is a very good platformer, and the toy combo is perfect. Nostalgia has taken a lot of Spyro Fans too much that they forget that the original games were equally as childish- they were just younger back then. I would hate on Activision if I could, trust me. They're my #2 worst publisher. But they hit it out of the park. The figures are actually quality, and the game is fun. Be careful, though, because the 3DS version is NOT multiplayer. Which was, in my opinion, Activision's biggest mistake. Other than that, I can say so far it's a major hit with each person controlling their characters and we switched out as necessary. For people who have kids, this game is a GODSEND. An $8 character will completely renew interest. So fanboys took one for the team. It's still a great game.… Expand

   I still remember the fan reaction when this game was first announced. It was something along the lines of, "f*ck you, Activision." Some peopleI still remember the fan reaction when this game was first announced. It was something along the lines of, "f*ck you, Activision." Some people even went as far as to threaten to kill employees at Activision and Toys For Bob all because the game even existed and had Spyro's name on it (hell, the E3 2011 trailer is on Machinima and still has a crapton of dislikes). And look, we get it, it's not the "Spyro" game we all want, and his name is probably only there to sell copies, but can we at least give it a fair shot? Well, I did, and...it's actually quite good!
   "Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure" has plenty going for it: it looks nice (visually speaking), it's got some charming characters (even if they don't speak much), it's got some solid level design and platforming elements, some cool RPG-like elements in terms of level progression, and best of all, it's just fun! As much of a cash-grabbing game as it is, at least the devs tried to make the game fun, and the result is a great game overall.
   It's not perfect, though: the lack of a jump in a platformer is pretty much unjustifiable, the game has a few technical issues and glitches, and after playing the sequels, you start to realize how much slower-paced this game is.
   Even so, for a cynical cash-grab, "Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure" is a damn fun game and, as long as your wallet is prepared, go ahead and give it a shot!
   Final rating: 8 out of 10 "Great"… Expand

Obviously catering to kids with little to no thinking skills, which could keep them occupied for weeks. I beat the game in 6 hours. It felt like an easy 800 points for my achievements. Not much replay value for someone over the age of 15. I easily leveled 11 characters to 10 and unlocked all their skills. I did that by farming xp on spiders that appearently never stop spawning. The idea of the little figures on the portal was cute. But the game play vs buying all the toys not worth it. I could see if it was marketed and programmed correctly, you could have online play, with 2-8 or 16 players in different modes. Though the easy game mechanics need to be adjusted. The battle mode is simple and cheesy... 1 vs 1? Ick. I remember playing games like gauntlet dark legacy, which I found more playble. I think the game has so much potential. Does not deserve a 10. The game is really short for the money you would drop on the toys. The challenges for each toy is kinda hard... Kinda. I didn't hate it, but I didn't feel rewarded enough for leveling all my guys to 10 and beating the game to consider buying 20 more little toys for 10 bucks a pop.
   
   With that note, I thought micro-transactions were ethically wrong. You can buy a pirate boat to unlock missions that are built in the game but you gotta buy that boat.
   
   Game cost what? 60 bucks? The pad is another 10 to 15... Then 30 skylanders are 30-40...120 150 bucks for 5-10 hours of game play. Give another 15 to 20 hours to level all those 30 skylanders to 10... Not worth it. A game should offer at least 30 hours plus for 60bucks. That's 12 movies from the 5 dollar bin which gives me 24 to 30 hours.… Expand

This 1, is not spyro. They only used the name spyro for it to sell. They should of left spyro alone and started a new IP. But no, they yet again gotta ruin the spyro name. Why dont they learn and go back to the original spyro that always got good reviews. (not enter the dragonfly tho).… Expand
