Skylanders Giants Starter Pack

I got this for my son on his 10th birtday. He was totally surprised and amazed when he opened. Then he started playing right away, and practically he hasn't stop ever since (last December), well, in a way of speaking...The game is very well designed. The characters or figures are very well done, in fact my son loves them and plays with them even when not playing the video game, as action figures.I would definitely recommed this for kids up to 12 years of age, probably; even though I, myself have enjoyed playing it with my son from time to time. He plays most of the time wiht his sister (shes is 15), and they both have a really good time.The only drawback, so to speak, is the fact that he now wants to collect all the 40 + characters, and even though they are relatively inexpensive, still is a good money you'll have to put there to get them all.

I think this game was an excellent bit of fan service to people who bought the original game. If you had a Skylander from each element, you could access all the content from the first game. With the purchase of Giants, a giant is included, and all you need to access all the content is any single giant and one from each element. With the next game, Swap Force, you need at least half of the Swap force figures to access all the content. Giants is a fun game. I think you should be able to select different difficulty levels in one playthrough like you can in Swap Force, but that's okay. It's an excellent addition to the series and fixes a lot of issues from Spyro's Adventure.

I bought this to see what all the hype around Skylanders was all about. There's really two components to the product so I talk about the game and toys separately.The Game:Skylanders is targeted at children, but the gameplay is compelling enough to keep adults interested. You swap characters in and out of the game by placing them on the portal of power and which characters you choose impacts your strategy and abilities. It feels and plays like "Diablo light" with a lot of replay value unlocking all the hidden items, areas, characters, and achievements. You may find yourself wanting to replay levels over and over to either best your time, unlock awards, or simply to level up different characters.The Toys:The toys are well made and can stand up to the beating your average kid is going to inflict on them. They look great displayed as a collection on a shelf or can be thrown loosely in a bag or box. They don't have any articulating parts like action figures, but I often see kids playing with them right along with other toys. Beware the money sink. This game promotes and encourages purchases of additional toy characters throughout so be warned if your kid is a completionist or is likely to want to "collect them all". It will get expensive.

I bought the pack as a birthday gift for my boyfriend. He absolutly loved it! Only problem, however, then he opened the pack and tried to play it, the disc was unreadable. Thankfully, I was able to exchange the pack and the new game works perfectly. It's an amazing game, any age will enjoy it. It's not too kiddy, but not too much for a kid either. The characters are nice and each have a special ability. So far, my fave is Stealth Elf for her ability. Over all, it's a great game and I recommend it.

I received it on time and the portal seems to work just fine and the figurines look great but straight out of the box the 360 says the disc is unreadable. I feel so let down.

Both sons like this game but my youngest is the most excited about it. He got it for his birthday in Jan. It's now March and we just now got it working on a regular basis. We had some technical difficulties with his xbox, I guess. The game would play on any other machine we tried, just not HIS, which was horrible for him. BUT, after spending 3 days working with xbox technical support, we finally got it working and he's been playing it every day since.What I love about this game is that he's working through levels and towards some kind of goal, unlike his other favorite game, COD. Ugh. If he HAS to play a video game, this is the one I want him to play. It's expensive in that each character costs $10ish but I think it's worth it.

I bought this for my 10yr grandson, who loved it, but had the game maxed out within 2 weeks. He was very disappointed that the game did not go further. Would like to see Activision expand this game to include older more adept children. The age was 7+ and should have been rated more like 6-7yrs.

My 5 year old son wanted this for Xmas so bad. It was all he talked about and the only thing he made sure to ask Santa for. We regulate how much he plays, but when he does he loves it. It is not super hard and it does force him to make choices and think through strategies which is why I think video games have a place in a child's life. This one stimulates some creativity and he can share with his buddies as well since there are so many Skylanders to go with the game. This one includes 3 and I think there are about 50 in total or something like that.
