Skylanders Giants 

 

So my awesome dad is letting me help out again. This time it is with Skylanders Giants. Family Friendly Gaming was provided the Wii portal version of this home console game. It is also on the Playstation 3, and Xbox 360. Oh and the Nintendo 3DS but that is a different game,

Kaos is back in Skylanders Giants. In fact there is this really funny movie at the beginning of Skylanders Giants. We learn about the Giants and the Arkeyans. All of the Skylanders from the first game can be used on the portals for Skylanders Giants. In fact they can now max out at level fifteen. Which is pretty cool.

I will get the bad stuff out of the way first. No jumping in the home console version still. We fight off a multitude of enemies with a variety of violent attacks. Do not let kids under ten play this game. Skylanders Giants has humor that can seem out of touch with reality at times. There is a ghost character - like Casper. There are undead and magic characters in Skylanders Giants.

The graphics are improved from the first version, and we go to all kinds of different environments. The animations and movies are better. The giants are really cool, and I love how they light up on the portal. Certain smaller characters (lightcore) will also light up. I can get two giants on the portal if I am creative.

Skylanders Giants is less straight forward than the first game. We get to do different things like play this neat little tile/card game. We also can do things like control a giant robot. Which makes the giants look tiny. Skylanders Giants zooms in at the appropriate intervals.

Flynn makes me laugh. He has all kinds of funny things to say. The gentleman who voices him also does the Wolf in the Hoodwinked movies. He is just as funny, if not funnier than my dad. Which reminds me, my dad would make a great voice actor. I think it would be cool if he did it some day.

I have already bought an additional giant, and so has my brother. We sunk quite a bit of money in the first game, and I expect we will probably purchase multiple characters going forward. The amount of replay depends on how many different characters you buy for the game. So as much, or as little as you are willing to do.

I like how Skylanders Giants is fun for one person to play or two. Families can enjoy quality time together inside the Skylanders Giants world. I am pleased that Activision published a second game in this series. It is a lot of fun, and will be for months to come. Skylanders Giants is the latest craze at Family Friendly Gaming.
