Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

My 6 year old absolutely adores skylanders. And so do I. The premise is fantastic - bring your toys to life - and indeed they do come to life in a virtual world via the portal. A really good game on it's own, but the portal is a spark of genius. You will need 8 toys to access all the bonus areas - one of each type (although there are 36 to collect) - you don't need to access the bonus areas to complete each level and can complete the whole adventure with the three characters in the starter pack - although the more characters you have the easier it is. It's a game that can be added to with each birthday, xmas or an incentive for young ones to save up. My son has lots of fun lining up the toys in the order in which they will play - they form the audience around the portal which is really cute and I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the toys themselves.

The game is a platform game, with battles and puzzles and a great story line with over 20 levels. Each character has its own special moves and can be upgraded with treasure collected in the game and levelled up with hit points. The upgrades and levels remain with the toys so your child can bring it to a friend's house and it will have the same level and upgrades - this is cross platform too; the same toys can be played on the wii, xbox, mac, pc etc. It can be played as a one or two player co-op game or you can battle each other. The attention to detail is fantastic, a lot of thought and attention has been put into this game and it really is rather beautiful and very entertaining for young and old alike
