Fun game but watch out for corroded batteries!!

Fun game but watch out for corroded batteries!!
My son was excited to use this game. Unfortunately the batteries that came with it were severely corroded and there was white powder everywhere….it was a mess! Fortunately the game itself was ok and we had batteries on hand. I would have given this 4 or 5 stars if the item was not shipped with corroded batteries. As you can see from the pictures it was bad and it left us trying to clean up the mess safely and effectively.

5.0 out of 5 stars Addictive!!!
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2012

Let me just say this, I am a 38 year old father. My son got this for Christmas. We started playing it together and I think I am more hoooked on it than he is. The three characters it comes with a great to start, but a warning you or your children will quickly want or need more. You can get through the early levels with the ones included. But as you get further and further along the levels get harder and harder. If all your Skylander's are killed, you must restart the level. Thus the more you have, the easier it is to get through the levels. ALSO, you can complete the level without doing so, but in order to get full credit for finishing the level you must find everything in the level/chapter. Similar to the Lego games where you need to go back as free play to find certain things. You need certain Skylander's to open certain gates within the level. GREAT MARKETING PLOY!!! But luckily the extra Skylander's aren't that expensive. $8 each or a three pack for like $20 most places. Right now they are really expensive because no stores have restocked since Christmas and everyone wants them so they are paying too much. Just wait. Really what you need is one Skylander from each "relm" but it is not necessary. I am playing with my 7 year old and he can get through most of the early levels by himself. One other great aspect of the game for younger players is they don't have to read. It does display the words on the screen but a narrator also reads it and tells you what you need to do. Big help so that a parent doesn't have to sit there and tell him what to do. Overall great game but beware, if you even like video games a little bit, you will quickly get hooked. It's a kids game but has enough "fun" for adults. Ask my wife, she has a hard time getting both of us to come to the dinner table once we start playing!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for kids
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2012

This is one great game! I keep seeing how the game and all of its parts are so expensive! Let me tell you.. all you really need is one character from every group so in reality you need 6 or 7 monsters, now if you get the starter pack that gives you three, so a few more is all that is needed.
If you have a person (child or adult) that likes to play or is just started video gaming this game is great for them. The graphics are wonderful and the voices are good, Patrick Warburton who did the voice for Kronc is the voice of Flynn and he really does a fine job.
I was intrigued by this whole concept from the moment I saw it in the stores before Christmas (when the shelves were loaded with characters) and I really wanted to give it a go, so I bought two of them for Valentines Day, one for me and one for my honey.... he really is enjoying it, first he said the game is entertaining, second he loves us spending time together, and third he loves being able to change out the character when he chooses.. of course this leads to "honey who ya got over there" as he takes out all of his people.
This would be a great birthday gift especially if others are in on it and can get the other figures.. you could make it a Skylander Birthday party!! I think this game is a great way to connect with your kids, boys and girls alike would enjoy this game and if you learn which characters do what in the game and why they are so important your kids would talk to you endlessly.
So if you are looking for something for family time or a special gift ... give this one a go!

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly addictive little game; characters are a blast
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2012
Platform For Display: Nintendo WiiVerified Purchase
This was a Christmas present for my 9 year old (girl) and 7 year old (boy). In addition to the basic game pack, I bought them separate figures. The basic game pack includes 3 characters, but there are over dozens of other characters that can be purchased separately or in packs of 3. My order on amazon.com was processed quickly, and the game arrived in 4 days using standard shipping to Florida.

The game is very fun, and allows 2 players to select their character of choice and place on the portal (which is connected to the Wii using a wireless USB antenna that is included with the portal), at which time they are transported into the game. However, if the character dies during the game, you have to swap them off the portal with another character. Each character has an element that they represent, so some areas of the game are inaccessible unless my kids are using the correct character. In addition, each character has different strenght, defense, speed, and powers...making each character unique in their own way.

So far, my kids have had a great time playing the game. I would highly recommend buying a few more characters, as my kids have really enjoyed the ability to swap out the characters for those with different powers or attributes.

***UPDATE***
Based on continued gameplay, my 9 years old had the following comments:
I think Skylanders is a realy fun game. You can collect differnt skylanders and trade them with your friends.In this game you can colloct mony and upgrade your skylanders.Skylanders can move up levels by defetting foes. You also can use a skylander on any game system. If you have a Wii but your friends have a Playstation or XBox, the characters will work on any of them. But the thing is when a skylander dies on a level you can't play that skylander again until you either start the level again or you quit the level. Other then that I think skylanders is a great game.

El juego llegó rápido en 4 días ya que viene desde Estados Unidos, no sabía en qué condiciones iba a llegar el juego y la verdad me sorprendió porque estaba nuevo, las pilas originales ahí venían y obviamente ya sulfatadas por el tiempo pero no afecta ningún componente ya que vienen en un plástico y aparte, ya tenía el juego y los skylanders iniciales pero me faltaba el portal, así que fue una buena compra y lo compré en oferta, ya puedo usar todos mis skylanders, buen juego y buena compra
