My boys got the original Skylanders from their grandfather for Christmas about 2 years ago. The kids loved it. Each Skylander sits on the “Portal of Power” to take the Skylander you choose to play with into the game. Each characters info is saved within the base of the character. You can even take your favorite one with you to play at a friends or family member’s house and your info will carry with the character.
This year the hot update to Skylanders is the Skylanders Giants. The giants were banned from the Skylands but the evil portal master Kaos is back. Now the Sklander Giants but team up with the Skylanders to battle a new threat.
If you’re new to Skylanders it’s best to start off with the Giants starter kit. You get the Skylanders game, 3 figures, and the portal of power. Here’s one of the starter sets I found at the Best Buy in Monroeville, PA. You can see it has 2 regular Skylander figures and 1 Giant along with the portal and game. The Skylander Giants starter packs are $74.99.
There was a whole section with tons of Skylander figures to choose from. My dad get the kids new Skylanders each year with their Christmas presents. The game is so much fun with lots of colors, cute characters, but fun battle seens to keep both boys, girls, (and yes even grown ups) entertained. I have 3 boys ages 3, 8, and 10 and they all love to play Skylanders. Each of my kids seem to have their own favorite character too.
The set up had an interactive display say you could see the new characters abilities and scenes from the game. They also have neat storage containers so you can keep track of all your Skylander characters.
Skylanders Giants is available on PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and Nintendo 3DS and can be found at Best Buy stores or online at http://www.bestbuy.com/giants
