Skylanders Giants - Starter Pack (Wii)

Product Information

More than 50 collectible characters including: 16 new SWAP Force characters, 16 new Skylanders characters, 8 LightCore™ Skylanders characters, 16 new versions of fan-favorite Skylanders from the previous games, each featuring an all new "Wow Pow" upgrade power. The Skylanders themselves played a diminished role during the often annoying vehicle segments, and the controls left a lot to be desired. The on-foot gameplay was still solid, and the figures were decent. While it was fun seeing new remixes of familiar characters, like a gun-wielding Stealth Elf, it meant less new characters overall. 3) Skylanders: Trap Team Every copy of Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure comes with a set of action figures and a special platform called the Portal of Power. Placing the figures on the surface of the Portal of Power causes them to appear in the game world for you to control – turning your action figures into interaction figures in an instant! The most notable differences are found in the Nintendo 3DS versions of all games, which are completely different. These versions have unique stories and gameplay that are more focused on platforming. Additionally, they use a separate, smaller portal that communicates via the console's infrared. In the first two games, players had to "load" two figures, and were able to swap between them at any time using the touch screen until a new Skylander is loaded to replace them. Beginning with Swap Force, every figure scanned is permanently saved into the game. In Trap Team, villains are captured using the touch screen instead of using real-life traps, which the 3DS portal does not support.

Despite having no new groups to guide them towards their new mission, the Skylanders took the time to chase down both Kaos and the Doom Raiders, as well as helping the leaders they met in person for the first time to get used to the strange new realm in the Shattered Islands.

Ah, the inevitable Pokémon clone. For the fourth game, Trap Team lets you battle against a roster of fun new villains – and then capture them inside special trap crystals. Sold separately, of course. Playing as the villains was like a special powered-up mode and a lot of fun – particularly the way the captured villains taunted from the speakers on the portal itself.

The current core team of the Skylanders is known as Team Spyro, being the primary group to answer to missions in nearby regions, both to defend others from evil acts, or offer a variety of services. The group is formed by newly graduated Skylanders, Spyro, Stealth Elf and Eruptor, and by veterans Jet-Vac and Pop Fizz. This article needs additional citations for verification.

The scanning to save is for when you want to play them in another game/on another console - otherwise, you're fine scanning them the initial time to add them to the collection, and just going through the list to choose who you want to be at any moment if you're only playing the Switch version. It's a manual choice to save (talking to an NPC), rather than forcing you to save to the figure if you want to keep using it.Ramsay, Randolph (September 20, 2015). "Skylanders SuperChargers Review".
