Wondering what game would be the perfect christmas present for your small horde of gaming offspring? Look no further! Activision have brought the future of multi platform gaming to life with their latest game Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventures. Skylanders combines your typical platformer game (good for hours and hours of relaxing play) with the fun of collecting fugurines. And the combination is mind blowing!
Imagine being able to carry around all your valuable game data in a simple (yet well made and artistic) figurine. Now imagine being able to share that game data with any of your friends, regardless of which console they use!
The essence of the game is aptly described in this review by Gamepro:
This could really be the future of kid’s toys. Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure is essentially two products: A Wii game, which takes place in the Spyro universe, and a hand-painted collectible toy line, which plays a huge part in the gameplay. The most integral part of the package is a round sensor mat (which the developers refer to as the “portal”), which recognizes each individual toy and instantly recreates it in the game. Even cooler, the portal recognizes your own unique toy, even if it looks exactly like another. For instance, if a player levels up his character, upgrades their abilities, etc., and takes the toy to his friend’s house, his friend’s portal will recognize their individual character just the way they left it. Developer Toys for Bob wouldn’t talk just yet about the inner workings of the toys, but there’s definitely some impressive tech beneath the surface of these cute collectibles.
Skylanders is also a multiplayer game and is perfect for a night of family gaming.
There will be 12 initial characters released with the starter pack, each one opening up new levels and areas for you to play. All 12 characters are listed on www.Exclusives.co.za with details on all of the character stats and a small biography on the characters history.
