There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I actually got one of the characters (along with the starter figures) that I thought I wouldn't like and was unoriginal (Slobber Tooth)...he's become one of my favorites. The swapping abilities are so much fun! I can have a robot with chicken legs, or a snake with octopus arms. The specific challenges that are determined by the bottom part of the skylander are quite unique and fun to play.
The difficulty of the game is interchangeable between three modes, and you unlock a fourth after completing the story mode. The story mode is probably the best in the series. Kaos (up to his old trick again) actually has a sensible plan this time around, and the cut scenes are done very well. The voice acting ranging from an Irish Frost elf to a shark who owns a junkyard...and they are all done splendidly. After you complete the story, there is great replay ability such as time attacks, score modes, and bonus missions to name a few. All skylanders, both past and new, receive an HD upgrade that make them look really cool. The graphic in general are lush and nice to look at. Oh, and all skylanders can now jump, giving collectible finding a new meaning.
There are a few gripes I have with the game. One, after you complete the game, every time you return to the hub world, you have to listen to something like "welcome back hero of cloudbreak Isle...so and so has something for you." And you have to listen to it every...single...time, unable to skip. The other gripe is similar, in that every time you start a chapter, there's a cut scene that you have to watch about half of before you are able to skip it. Also, you can never fully complete the game unless you have all eight swap abilities on the bottom part of swap force skylanders, forcing you to by them. So I suggest you plan your money out before buying this, as it can get a little pricey.
Besides these very nitpicky things, this is a game that is suited for both young and new, providing easy gameplay or nightmare difficulty, fun and memorable characters, and something that will have you coming back for hours to play.
I was a little put-out that once again we had to buy a portal, but at least this one is USB like the Giants portal, so no wasting batteries. The starter pack does come with three Skylanders, 2 swappable ones and ninja stealth elf who isn't swappable. The first day playing my son told me that the Ninja Stealth Elf wasn't working; when she was placed on the portal there was no recognition that any Skylander was on it, it just sat on the "add a skylander" screen and didn't even give an error. I went on the Activision website and followed all their recommendations for troubleshooting but nothing worked. Dreading sitting on hold with customer service, I contemplated just returning it to amazon, but my son had already put several levels on the other 2 skylanders so I made the call. I was on hold for 17 minutes, which is expected on Dec 26th. I appreciated that the automated system informed you regularly of how many callers were ahead of you and the average wait time. When I got to an actual human he was very helpful and friendly. After having me try a few more troubleshooting things that still didn't work, he offered to send out a new Ninja Stealth Elf in the mail, without me having to send in the broken one. About a week later the new skylander arrived and before I knew it my son had her up to level 20. I know as long as Activision keeps making these game we will keep buying them.

I am also possibly one of the few older aged players, who is prepared to admit a liking for the game, and as such will not be stressing continuously that it was purchased only for my Son/Daughter/Nephew etc. Even though my kid does absolutely love it.
As I earlier state, this was more an impulse kind of purchase, because I was scratching around for new things to play on the Wii u, and had decided to give Skylanders Superchargers a whirl.
I have loved Donkey Kong games since being a kid, and figured I would give superchargers a chance. It didn't take too long to make an impact on me, and had decided that I would like to check out some of the earlier versions, to see if I felt the same way about those too.
I can say right now that I do.
Skylanders has a certain charm, and one that even the oldest players can gain something from.
I know this is generally considered a kids title, but says who?
Activision developed the game with no such idea in mind, hence the inclusion of what was back then Spyro. There would possibly not have been many kids who could remember all the Spyro titles back then, but given the whole 'Toys to Life' was then a new concept, it isn't hard to understand why kids became the early adopters.
A lot has changed since then, with the introduction of other games of the same genre, such as Disney Infinity and the more recent lego Dimensions. Now older players are trying out the various offerings that this concept has to bring. Even if it isn't in the form of skylanders.
What skylanders offers, is good clean fun. Every now and then, I just want to play a game that doesn't involve violence and bad language, and instead opt for good old fashioned platforming meets RPG.
If I was purchasing this for my PS4 or Xbox 1, I would no doubts feel a little differently about the title, as this is not generally the style of game I personally opt for on those formats.
However, on the Wii U this title feels right at home, and is quite possibly one of the main reasons why I didn't instantly become over critical towards its content.
There really is something in this game to suit many players, and is also fantastic to play alongside your kids, as I often do with mine, although not exclusively.
The characters within the game are fun to play, and of many varying designs.
However, unlike Disney Infinity, I do feel that the actual figures themselves are pretty much suited to a Childs eye, and they certainly do gain more from them, by extending their use to table top game play.
But to an adult, they are pretty much just a key to unlock a new character. This is where I think Disney Score higher.
The same can not be said of the game play though. Disney lacks variety in my humble opinion.
Each infinity level seems to get rehashed in some sort of way between play sets, and don't even get me started on the Toy box mode.
Whereas Skylanders offers more than just the story modes, with offering of Survival and PVP modes, to name just two.
The one issue with this whole genre, and it has always been the elephant in the room, is the constant need to purchase new figures.
Whether it be Disney, Skylanders or lego, they are all geared to make you feel the need to dip your hand in your pocket, in order to have the right character to access a certain room or area.
You quite often get a good selection of characters straight out of the box, but they will only ever let you complete the game in a linear fashion. So if you want full access to what is available, you will certainly be inclined to add figures at a not too later date.
Soon unlockable characters within a game will become a thing of the past, as DLC , amiibo, and other methods are devised in order to get you to part with that bit more.
The one advantage of the inclusion of such figures, is that you have something physical in exchange for your money, unlike DLC.
So I guess it swings in Roundabouts.
To sum up, This is a great game if you like platforming adventures, on a par of some of the many titles normally associated with Nintendo.
If this is your bag, and you can overlook the extra costs normally connected to purchasing the figures, then I recommend you give it a go.
El juego funciona muy bien y mi hijo está loco con el (lo peor es que me va a tocar comprar más muñequitos).
Desde luego aconsejaría su compra, tanto por la calidad como, sobre todo, por el precio.
