Skylanders Giants is the sequel to the game Skylanders Spyro's Adventure. Like in Spyro's Adventure, you are a Portal Master, in order to play the game, you need some Skylanders figures and The Portal of Power! You plug the Portal of Power into the USB port of you're gaming station, (Some are wireless, though) and you place a Skylander on the Portal of Power and you play as that Skylander in-game. Now, there are TONS of Skylanders to collect, (Spyro's Adventure figures are compatible.) but, all you really need to complete the game is one Skylander of each element, (Air, Life, Undead, Earth, Fire, Water, Magic, and Tech) one Giant Skylander, (Swarm, Tree Rex, Eye-Brawl, Crusher, Hot Head, Thumpback, Ninjini, or Bouncer) and one fast Skylander (Sonic Boom, Whirlwind, Camo, Stealth Elf, Fright Rider, Cynder, Flashwing, Sunburn, Zap, Spyro, Drobot).
The game's storyline goes like this, Since the last game, Kaos (The Main Antagonist of Skylanders) has been banished to earth, a realm were Skylanders are frozen. For a reason unexplained, Kaos comes to life on earth and finds the Portal of Power and uses it to get back to Skylands. Kaos, along with his assistant, Glumshanks, find an Arkeyan Robot. The Arkeyan Robots were a race of evil robots that once ruled Skylands with an Iron Fist (Literally!). But soon came a race of heroes that defeated the Arkeyans, The Giants! They destroyed the Iron Fist and brought peace to Skylands, BUT, they were banished to earth, where they have not been seen since. BUT, with Kaos finding the Arkeyan Robot and him looking for the Iron Fist, It's time to bring back the Giants! But, Can the Skylanders and the Giants, along with some other friends, Defeat Kaos and the Arkeyan Robots again? Play Skylanders Giants to find out!
I thought this game was super fun and exciting! Sure, I don't have a Skylander of every element, (I'm missing Earth, Fire, Water, and Magic) which isn't very good because you need Skylanders of a cretain element in order to unlock special bonus areas! There are lots of fun puzzles and the game itself isn't very hard so young children could probably play it. This game has the COOLEST SOUNDTRACK EVER!!!! I'm going to buy it on iTunes if it's available! This game wasn't all good though. This game has voice actors so alot of the characters are REALLY ANNOYING!!!!!! Especially the little Frog thing in the lock puzzles. @#$%! HE IS ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He has got to be one of my most hated video game characters of ALL TIME!!!! Also, I just have to point this out, Kaos sounds and acts EXACTLY like Invader Zim! Voltar from League of Super Evil, too! |
| They have exactly the same facial expression and pose, too! |
Me and my Brother have had a BLAST playing this game! I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars! I just can't wait until Skylanders Swap Force comes out this year! Good Game!
