Ok, I am the type of person that researches everything before I buy it and read every review, so I want to be helpful to parents like myself who are new to this whole Skylanders thing. First of all let me say that it is actually a pretty cute game and my 6 year old daughter is completely in love with it. That being said, let me answer some of the questions I had when I started looking into it. Is it too violent for a young child? While there is a lot of sword play and shooting of lasers and things like that, there is no blood or gore. The bad guys (some of which may look a little creepy for some young children) just disappear when you defeat them leaving jewels in their place for you to collect. My daughter can be a little sensitive about that stuff sometimes but it never bothered her with this game. And one thing I like for kids is that when your character is defeated in a battle, it doesn't "die" or "lose a life" like in other games. It simply "needs to rest" and you can switch to a different character to continue playing. Should I get Giants or Spyros adventure? Well, all of the figures work on the Giants game, but only the older ones work on the Spyro game. We were better off getting the Giants one so we wouldn't have to worry whether the figures will work with the game or not. Should we get it for the Wii or for the 3ds? While the thought of being able to bring the game with her and not having to dominate the tv was nice, from what I have seen, the Wii game does more. I believe, though I could be wrong, that on the ds you can only play with two different characters per game where on the Wii, you can switch between any at any time. Will it get expensive? Probably. The figures range in price and can add up because, of course, my daughter wants to collect them all. But it can be a good lesson in saving money. And by the way, of course, some figures are "rare" and hard to find, but patience pays off! Don't spend ridiculous amounts of money for one character on a website when, if you are lucky, you can get the same thing at a store for a lot less. The Ninjini character is selling here for more than $30, but we just happened to come across it at a popular toy store for $15. Hint: find out what day of the week the store gets its shipment in! Is it good for girls as well as boys? Absolutely! It is not really very girly, but many of the characters are girls! It is kind of nice to have strong female characters in a video game who are not overly sexy and half naked. There is nothing inappropriate about the female characters at all. Overall, we are very happy with this game! My daughter wants to play it a lot! She has already beaten the whole game but loves to go back and replay it and try to find all the things she missed. I do wish it was a little longer perhaps, but other than that, I have no problem with it. And my daughter loves to play with the figures as just plain toys when she isn't playing the video game. Nice for her to make up her own adventures!

Skylanders Giants is an excellent game because of all the different characters! The game is shorter than Spyro's Adventure and have no water area the water skylanders can swim but in exchange they have elemental areas which in my personal opinion is not as good as having water areas since some skylanders have upgrades that do with water areas.( such as stump smash...... ) Some of my personal favorite skylanders and the paths I have the most fun with are ( every skylander's ability I am talking about might one of his or her upgrades ): Fire : Eruptor - Volcanor because the eruption attack and defeat all enemies around you Hot Head - both path are good and he's got a cool soul gem ability Water : Gill Grunt - Water Weaver since his soul gem and Wow-Pow is almost the same attack as the other path Slam Bam - Blizzard Brawler because he gets super strong in that path Tech : Trigger Happy - Golden Frenzy because the great distance protect you from getting hit Sproket : Gearhead because you can just build turret, go away, and they will defeat your enemy automatically Life : Stealth Elf - Pook Blade Saint because she's got excellent speed and is the strongest in close-distance battle, her floating sword are cool and powerful Stump Smash - Smash `N' Bash because this path is strong and his Wow-Pow give the power of the other path, even though his soul gem is completely useless in Skylander Giants since there isn't one single water area Shroomboom - Barrier Boost since this path is much more better than the other path in my opinion Tree Rex - Treefolk Charger since he get super strong in this path if you know how to use it properly Air : Sonic Boom - Medea Griffin since in this path the babies does a lot of damage Whirlwind - Ultimate Rainbower because the rainbows is very cool and beautiful but she's certainly not that strong...... Jet-Vac - Vac-Packeteer because it is a good way collect items and increase your speed Swarm - Wasp Stormer because the transform into bugs ability is very cool and useful, the figure itself is very nice looking, too. Earth : Terrafin - Sandhog since he is the only skylander so far that can dig underground, while underground he can pick up power-ups and damage enemies Prism Break - Crystaleer since he will get more useful attack and an armor in this path Bash - Pulver Dragon since in this path he can smash his enemies quickly and roll around Flashwing - Super Shards because in this path she has a very useful way to heal herself and do damage to multiple enemies Magic : Pop Fizz - Best of the Beast because his potion power is already strong enough so he just need to improve the time transform into beast form Ninjini - Ancient Djinn Magic because in bottle shooting missiles are cool and she have great stat Undead : Ghost Roaster - Fear Eater because you can avoid bigger damage and does more damage to enemies the skull charge is very strong already Hex - Bone Crafter since it is way better than the other path, you can just make walls of bone and shoot out skull rains Chop Chop - Vampiric Warrior since the Wow-Pow give him similar effect as the other path and this path give him excellent attacks Cynder - Both path are very good but if you have Lightning Rod pick the Shadowdancer path All the Skylanders above are ones that I really like and I do enjoy them. P.S. the characters I didn't list might just mean I don't have them or I don't like them as much as this.

Santa got this for the two boys in our house. So far it's been a hit. Needless to say this is a boon for Activision because once you start playing you see why you need all the figurines. As you work through the chapters you lose characters (they need to "rest"). As the body count mounts up, you need replacement soldiers to complete the level, else you're done. So the more guys you buy, the more lives you get. Further, the levels will tell you what type of character does best in a given situation. So if an earth guy does better you're going to want earth guys on-hand. So now we probably need to get one of each type at least in order to move forward! Very sneaky, Activision! Aside from the clever marketing, one other criticism: the characters can't jump. Ever since Pitfall, your guy on screen can jump, but not here. But you do get 2 attack modes, and you can buy a third as well from the stores that somehow pop up. As a grown-up I was able to play without reading the directions for a time, until I got to Skystones and my kid had to clue me in on how to win. Early on I was winning through pure dumb luck but down the road that doesn't cut it anymore (like life, amirite?). The other minigame where you rotate a table to move a ball was fun and an ego-boost when it told me I achieved a perfect score. That made up for the Skystone incident... Another really cool thing is that even if the Wii is in standby mode the portal stays lit. Also, when you put a giant on the portal it lights up too. I don't know if there are internal batteries or what. Ok, here's the big downside I'm seeing so far. When playing two players the software gets confused easily. When placing a second character on the portal it will tell you you have too many guys on the portal, unless the player two pressed "A" on the controller. So just walking up and putting a new guy on the portal is a no-go. Also, we found somehow during this process that a player gets removed from the game. So when you do things right and add a second Skylander it still says you have too many players. And then when you think you've solved this, then you find (in the heat of battle no less) that the two players have swapped Skylanders somehow! We butchered a few Skylanders this way since we were cross-controlling the wrong guy. Now I caveat this with the "I didn't read the directions in the manual" excuse but we DID follow the on-screen directions and prompts which seen more than adequate, and this continues to be a problem occasionally. First time out of the box, player management was a HUGE problem but we're learning the ropes and life is good. All in all, I can see why this franchise is successful, and we look forward to buying more games so we can use our small army of figurines. Given all the imagination Activision has placed in the ones we have so far, we can see lots of cool possibilities down the road!

Bought this game for my 6yr old son, he adores it! Loves all the figures and saves his money to be able to purchase more of the different figures to play in the game. It can be expensive for anyone to purchase as you do need to get a character of each category to be able to seriously make inroads into all of the game, some of the figures are extremely hard to find too. But the game is a lot of fun, some famous voices have done parts in the game too, good engaging story and a lot of replay value to go pick up all the things that you may have missed before. All figures are compatible with the different consoles that the game is on, we have the Xbox 360 version and the Wii version and the figures keep all of their power ups over the different consoles (or if you want you can start from scratch with each of them whenever you feel like it) It is no surprise that this game is making a lot of money for the makers as it is a very smart concept and really grabs onto the collectible part of the figures to drag people in and make them want the different figures for each category.

We have found this game to be surprisingly fun. We like co-op games and the co-op is well done. The switching out of characters if you want is easy and smooth without confusing the game. You CAN finish the whole game with the base starter set characters. Yes, there are areas you cannot go or sometime there may be a puzzle to do something another character could just do, but it works. Some characters are more powerful in some areas or have things they can open other elements cannot. These never stop progress but they add extras. the characters can be found all over the place for cheap and all older characters work in the newer games. All newer bases work with older games. Older bases cannot run the new game and I think new characters cannot go into older games but the characters and bases move forward from the original to the most current. Note: my seller actually sent just the figures not the starter pack I wanted - check the specific seller listing carefully, do not order without looking. Amazon of course fixed it no problem but it was frustrating

I paid the extra money to receive this product "New" as pictured. When it arrived on my son's birthday as a gift for his birthday is was apparent that what we received was not a new product but instead a used product, to include finger prints and scratches on the disc of the game and not packaged as pictured. As it was my 5 year old's birthday the moment he saw this package he wanted to play it and given that it worked the email I sent to the seller asked only to be compensated for the difference between the "New" and "Used". The sellers response was simply "Return it". I left a poor review after this interaction and was quickly contacted by "EA electronics" via phone call offering a new set, refund or a free Wii game in exchange for the removal of my negative feedback. From that phone call to the point that I removed the feedback I was called multiple times daily by the individuals claiming to be from EA nearly to the point of harassment. 3 months after removing the negative feedback I have heard nothing further regarding the promises made. This was poor customer service to begin with and the actions there afterward were deceptive and not that of any company deserving of my business or the business of anyone else. So I am leaving negative feedback and will not remove it. I recommend future buyers buy from another seller.

This product works as advertised right out of the box. So simple. The idea of the figures interaction is key for my sons and family. My 4 year old is already an expert (game is actually for 10+). PARENTS: The best thing is that the characters will get "tired" if you use them too much in game play which is brilliant!!! meaning that my son is forced to stop playing. As a Christian (follower of Christ), there are some characters that glorify the "undead" and majic but it is not as bad as I thought. I just won't buy specific characters. This is a great game for a dad and son to bond. Also, I recommend that you have a talk with the player about keeping the figures on "house arrest" so they do not lose them. ENJOY!!!

Our kids are addicted! They definitely found a great way to make money on this game :) .... but it is a fun game for the whole family. My son is in school and his friends will bring their players over or he will bring his there. New skylanders make for great gift ideas, and we (for the first time) have to limit play because they could sit and play it for hours. Watch the characters you buy now though because swap force is out and not all characters will work on this unless they say they are compatible. Also, make sure characters are not played with outside of the game. We figured that they obviously weren't meant to be played with as figurines, but we have a one year old who has gotten a hold of them a couple times and jet vac has some troubles working after a few run ins with our littlest man.
