Skylanders was one of the first games to have something to physically play with that you can use in a video game.  The way it works is the player has a figure from Skylanders and puts it onto the portal.  This figure is then a character in the game they are playing, where their improvements and personalization of their Skylander are saved to that figure to be used again.

My son has loved Skylanders since “Spyro’s Adventure” (the first game) and beat Trap Team all by himself.  He plays with the toys and has a blast playing as the toys in the game.  I like this game because it is easy to play and something we can play together.  With each game in the series growing upon the last, each game is backwards compatible with the toys so your level 10 Spyro from Spyro’s Adventure can be played with in Trap Team.  Also, the ability to jump in and out of the game on the fly is a great feature.  Sure, your kids can sit there for an hour playing games, but Mom or Dad have responsibilities and such so can’t always.  This feature lets you come into the game for a bit then hop out again causing the least amount of intrusion into the game.

If you are a Skylanders fan or just curious about the game, be sure to check out the local stores in the next coming days to celebrate Skylanders day on June 27th.  There are some stellar deals with buy one get one free on Eon’s Elite characters, Buy a trap get a Water trap free, and also 50% off accessories for Skylanders.  This promotion is a limited time only, so be sure to check it out soon, from 06/24 through 06/30.
