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.
You begin the campaign and place a character on the portal. It glows (no batteries needed) and that is the character you begin with in the game. When your character loses all of his/her power, you simply place another character on the portal. Game play is in 3rd person and it does support 2 players. It can be a bit challenging with two players as you have to have teamwork. Neither character can just run off...you have to stay together.
My 4 year old gets excited to play and loves choosing his characters for each level. I wasn't sure how difficult it would be simply from seeing a small demo, but there is nothing complicated about the game. He navigates the maps well and there are no complicated button sequences.
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.
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.
