Given I got involved in Skylanders, picking this up subject to reviews was a no brainer. Reviews were good. So I hopped on board. Had this for a little while now and still messing around in the Toy box area. I've not even ventured as yet into the game levels.
Think of the Toy box as a simpler Little Big Planet, quite a few things to find out and build. The more you do, the more stuff you get to build with. Also like LBP you can share what you build with others, and vice versa. Will be starting the game levels very soon however and let you all know
.
The figures as very well made indeed, no scrimping on quality at all with these, the line up is quite Pixar heavy at the moment. No problem from me but some Disney fans may be a little peeved about that. That said I'm sure there'll be more soon, in addition there are the power discs. With the round ones providing a character boost, and the hexagonal ones providing themes, vehicles or weapons. The only downside to these are that they are sold in blind packs of twos. I've so far bought 5 packs and only had two doubles, that said I've already swapped these on a fan site, sweet
.
A nice touch is the addition of the Hall of Heroes, a sort of Roman Pantheon where all the characters and power discs you have reside in the game to view. Your characters appear as statues on plinths, you can go up to them and watch a little video on the character, even ones you don't have. Also the more you do in the game, the more of the Hall of Heroes builds up.
In short liking this so far, it can be a money pit, of this I've no doubt, but can work out as slightly cheaper Christmas pressies for those you know have it already. Anyway I've babbled on enough, have fun and enjoy the adventure called life
