Swap Force is easily considered the best "Playground" in the entire Skylanders series. With Swap Zone challenges, the longest levels in the series, the longest story in the series, PvP battles, PvE Arena mode, Time Challenges, Special Challenges, Great Boss Battles, a plethra of elemental gates, individual Skylander tasks (pretty sure on this one......may have been giants only), and a difficulty slider, most players of the series logged the most hours into this game even if they didn't count it as their favorite.
This is THE Skylanders game to get some play out of your entire collection without getting overly repetitive. The entire story, All PvE Arena battles, and 25% of the swap zones will be available on the purchase of this game. This offers a little above the average offering of content in most A list games these days.
In order to play EVERYTHING in the game (which is not necessary, but fun), you will need the following: 6 Swap Force figures w/ the other 6 specialties (digger, sneaker, spinner, speester etc.), a figure of the Earth, Air, Tech, Undead, and Magic Element (which can be taken care of by the 6 Swappers) a Giant of any element, and the Tower of Time and Sheep Wreck Island pieces (all these last 2 have to do is touch the portal once in your game file and you're good. Borrow them for a second from a friend if they have them.)
The gimmick of "Swapping" your skylander's halves around is fun, but many folks enjoy the characters as they come. The non-swappable Skylanders that premiered in this game are some of the best in the series and a blast to play. You can't go wrong by just sticking to Skylanders with blue bases (and a single Giant of Course).
Have fun!!
The controls are simple, so anyone can jump right in. It comes with 3 starter characters, the portal of power and the game. Great value. The gameplay is pretty easy overall, but fun. It's like a hack and slash/ rpg for kids. The graphics are pretty good. It's full of color and personality. All of the characters and environments are fun and creative. I highly recommend for kids or adults. Great purchase, especially for the price I paid, which was $17.
The reason I have given it 4 stars instead of 5 is still because there is a lot of content that is only unlocked through purchasing additional game pieces...which can become very expensive. The co-op mechanic of not allowing characters to get more than a certain distance from each other also can cause frustration and arguments, and I would have preferred a split screen similar to the LEGO games while in co-op mode. I would highly recommend this game for anyone with younger children.
It works with the Spyro series well - he likes some of the non-SWAP Force characters. We haven't tried giants yet, but I think they'll work as well.
It comes with 2 swappable characters and one non-swappable. And a poster that you can put stickers on to show which characters you already have and which ones you can ask Santa for next year. :)
The portal glows which makes it a magnet for his sister, so we have to keep it out of her reach to keep from pausing his game when she puts too many characters on or steals the one he has playing.
The graphics are nice - it reminds me of Sonic, but a bit more exciting. The main characters voice is Puddy from Seinfeld, so that's entertaining. I do get tired of hearing the characters shout out their catch phrases, but that happens with all video games and moms I think.
When it's no video game time, they play with the characters together as well, so it's a nice pause from "electronics" and still feel like they're playing the game.
The best part, he forgets about begging to play Minecraft and since Skylanders has stopping points, it's easier to get him to stop when time's up without a big fight.
