I didn't get to play Giants w/ him & it left me kinda bummed. Being the gamer that I am, I thought, "If I find Giants starter pk for super cheap, I'm getting it for myself". Well, I did. I love it! I felt kind of goofy for being into this kid's game until I saw online just how many adults w/o kids play skylanders. Why? It's a clever game w/ lots to offer & a genius marketing plan for toy sales. While it seems like overkill to have so many characters, they r really fun to have & experiment w/ each 1's powers & upgrades. It's devilish indeed, but not w/o it's purpose & does add to the game's fun & activities. New characters do help u along & give u more variety of attacks, speed etc. U don't have to buy more than starter kit, but it is helpful to have at least 1 character from each element (life, air, magic, undead, tech, earth, fire & water) to get u into each area. Starter kit comes w/ Tree Rex (giant, life element), Jet Vac (air) & Cynder (undead).
Spyros Adventure characters work w/ Giants game, so if u have any of those, they'll assist u in this game. Swap force & Trap Team characters won't work since they r newer. Only previous & current game characters work for each installment. It is a lot of fun tho & levels can get challenging as u progress. Great fun for families & the fact u can drop in & out of co op games is helpful. Say u r playing w/ your son or daughter & u get a phone call, u can simply remove your character from portal & they can continue playing uninterrupted. Great fun for kids & adults & perhaps kids can work for new characters. Maybe good grades earn a new skylander, doing chores etc. Kids will work for Skylanders! Enjoy!
I do not like how expensive the characters can get, but all you really need to open everything on the game is a character from each element (5 additional elements/$50) and at least one giant (Tree rex comes with the game). We have found many characters on sales, but also payed full price for too many of them. I understand the company is in it to make money but all the variations of a character and limited supplies are frustrating when your child doesn't understand why you can't get a certain character yet (or I should thank them for helping teach patience). You could spend endless amounts of money on this game or try to keep it reasonable and still have fun. There are computer and moblie opportunites to play as well using the character codes from the figurines, so that is a nice addition.
As long as they keep the various editions compatible, I will likely keep buying them for us.
So no... I don't have kids. But I love the characters, the RPG elements of leveling up and purchasing powers, grinding, and my wife and I have a blast play the Arena mode. We laughed at the jokes and story-- the writers did a great job-- and the level designs are fun. Your kids will enjoy collecting the characters, but be warned-- it gets pricey after awhile.
