Skylanders Giants - Starter Pack (Wii)

Product Information

Once upon a time, toys-to-life was a relatively brand new concept. Activision and Toys for Bob looked for a recognizable, kid-friendly gaming hero to leverage. Enter Spyro, the sassy but good-natured dragon, who helped pave the way for an all-new action series using physical figures as a unique form of DLC. Scalzo, John.

There are two ways to play Skylanders Trap Team: use a Skylander hero, or trap one of Skylands’ most wanted and bring them over to your cause. When you ensnare an enemy in a Trap, they’re transported into the real world via the Traptanium Portal. A built-in speaker in the Traptanium Portal allows you to hear the voices of captured villains, bringing the adventure right into the room – or you can return them to Skylands and play as them! Switch between playing as a hero or a villain at any time and put together your ultimate Trap Team to defeat Kaos!I'm hoping that Dimensions does the same thing with Lego figures, but not sure that's going to happen. Got into Dimensions despite myself. Year 2 just too full of nostalgic franchises. Really expensive though so I'm using Nectar point events, Tesco vouchers, BOGOF, second hand...

It was said that the Giants were the original Skylanders who banded together to fight an evil empire. Ten thousand years ago, the Giants battled against the tyrannical Arkeyans for the freedom of Skylands. In a final battle against the Arkeyans, the Giants were shot to Earth as a form of sacrifice, where they’ve been buried underground ever since. As the years passed, these enormous Skylanders were soon considered as a myth. Makuch, Eddie (June 3, 2015). "Skylanders Reaches 250 Million Toys Sold, New Game Announced". GameSpot . Retrieved June 3, 2015. The 3DS version of SWAP Force is the first to include voice acting, something that was absent in the previous 3DS titles. As you play, all the experiences your characters have in the game affect the real-world action figures sitting atop your Portal of Power. Each Skylander action figure stores data about everything from the latest special moves they have learned to any increases in skill and strength they make – so even if you take your figure and place it on someone else’s Portal of Power, its attributes will remain true to what you’ve achieved in your own copy of the game. Whether you’re working together with a friend in cooperative play, or competing against one another in arena battles, you can rest assured the attributes of your Skylanders action figures will be based on your in-game achievements and progress with them in your own copy of the game.
