Product Description
Embark on an exciting new adventure with the Skylanders and the SWAP Force. For generations, the SWAP Force protected the volcano that replenishes Skylands’ magic. That is until an epic battle caught them in an eruption that blasted them apart, sent them to Earth and gave them the ability to swap powers. Only you can mix and match their tops and bottoms, put them on the new Portal of Power and save Skylands.

The multitude of Skylanders will have me buying and playing with them for months to come (yeah, say goodbye to spending money because the Swapforce Skylanders are $$$). You can use older Skylanders and new ones, so if you have an older version of the game, you can still play it BUT you definitely need the SwapForce ones to get very far in the game.
There are different levels of play (easy, medium, hard, extreme or whatever). The levels each take about 45-60 minutes and unfortunately, there's no mid-level autosave, so you have to have the time to sit down and finish one. But if you have less time, there are shorter missions and battles to enjoy.
The story line is clearly geared for 8 year olds so I usually skip listening to the characters make silly jokes, but it's 100% appropriate for kids and still plenty of fun for adults!
My complaints are the lack of auto-save mid-level (I've spent hours redoing levels if I had to leave) and the fairly high prices of SwapForce Skylanders ($15 each or so) which is tough when you need at least 8-10 of them to really complete the game. That's no small issue so keep that in mind if giving it as a gift.
Highly recommend!
This is my first foray into the world of Skylanders and I must say - i'm sold. First off, the graphics....WOW. So very beautiful. The gameplay is also very fun and addictive, it's like a simpler version of Diablo. My daughter loved it right away, i'm sure kids at school had told her about it because she was incredibly excited to play it.
I suppose the only bad thing is having to buy the toys to unlock certain areas. I get it, it's an awesome money making business model, i'm just not used to spending hundreds of dollars on a videogame to get the full experience. There is TONS of replay value here and TONS of quests, unlockables, collectables etc...It's going to keep you and your kids busy for a long long time. Adults - to get the most out of the game, I recommend playing on hard.
I recommend this game to everyone who has a ps4 young or old, its just a solid game.
Positives:
- Graphics are outstanding and the game is a joy to play even for adults. Great game to play WITH your kids or spouse.
- Game is beatable by non gamers unlike the first game. Difficulty levels are most welcome for kids etc.
- Characters can level up quicker and money isn't much of a problem.
- XP and Gold is shared amongst players. No more bickering about who picks up the gold.
- Quick travel spots save time from constant walking and levels are well designed.
- All older figures can be used to play and unlock gates.
- Game can be beat with only a handful of figures without missing too much.
- The camera angle is panned out rather than up close so you can easily see the playfields and for some people (not get sick).
Negatives:
- More figures are needed than before to unlock everything although being able to use your old figures helps a lot.
Yes only one negative I can think of which hardly is a cause to knock off a star. Granted the game is a cash grabbing machine but with making a budget for this game and sticking to it, it's well worth it.
Specifically regarding the PS4 edition the graphics look great and the gameplay was fluid - the cutscenes were especially sharp and looked fantastic. I just completed the main story the other night and each level took a good amount of time to complete. Completing the game just opened up a couple of new modes that I'm sure will keep me engrossed a good while longer.
Tip: shop around. buy the game starter pack used with game portal and toys for $20-30. You can also buy used figures for $2-10 at GameStop. You'll need about $35 in used swap force figures to unlock all areas. This puts the full unlocked game price close to the original launch price of $75. Also if you have trap team, the trap team portal works with older games.

the starter kit comes with some good figures and everything you need to get started. The figures are well made and worth buying mean its a figure a toy and a game.piece all in one.
the game is fun and reminds me of good games loke spyro and crash etc with light rpg elements such as leveling up amd learning new powers.
all spyros adventure and giants figures work and any figure can work with any console.
