This new lineup was made up of eight regular sized Skylanders and eight Giants who were about twice the size of the other characters. CharactersĪs well as being able to use all of the Skylanders from the original game, Skylanders Giants introduced 16 brand new characters to play as.

The very basic premise of the game as told by a press release: Players will resume their role as a powerful Portal Master, who controls their a team of Skylanders, including Giants, mythical and powerful heroes that play a pivotal role in the quest to save the Skylands from Kaos, who is back with another plan to rule over Skylands. Each is a new magic item and has its own abilities.A direct sequel to Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure.Īs a direct sequel the story picks up shortly after the events of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. There are also two battlepacks available for add-on to the game, the Scorpion Striker and the Dragonfire Cannon. However there are only eight giants available in this game, along with 32 other characters including Lightcore characters which when placed on the Portal, light up. The giant's portion of the game is what sets it apart from the first game (Spyro's Adventure). There are hours of fun you can have playing this game with the variations that are available. "Skylanders: Giants" has 16 playable levels and an extra four levels if you want to purchase them. They are best purchased online ( is the best and cheapest). Some may find the extra add-on characters too expensive, but well worth the cost. My son received the game as a Christmas present and it is the only game that he loves to play, and he is three. It is a children's game but most adults will have a fun time playing it as well. There are so many characters and variations. This is the most technologically advanced game on any console, but is best played on the Playstation 3.
