Skylanders Giants - Starter Pack (Wii)

i bought this for my partners 39th birthday. lol. he got addicted to our sons spyro's adventure and when he'd completed that I decided to buy daddy the giants. The giants continues with the story from spyros adventure beautifully - you will be able to see were Kaos ended up. lol. Well it has gone down a treat. The characters included in the box are excellent. With Tree Rex being the favorite (tree rex is a giant - the other two - jet vac and cynder - are skylanders series 2) Tree Rex is also great because he lights up when he is placed on the portal of power - his eyes shine blue, and a gem in his hand shines green. if you already have skylanders spyros adventure you will be pleased to know that your previous characters can still be used in the new game, on the new portal - with the added bonus that you can continue to level them up further to level 15!!! 5 levels more than with spyros adventure. (it will also save you money, as you can use your previous skylanders to unlock certain zones in the new game) Also, the portal with the giants game is on a lead which plugs into the usb at the back of your wii, the lead is really long so is good if you like to sit away from the t.v with the portal next to you. Also it will save you so much money in batteries which is great. (please note though, the portal will continue to stay lit even when the wii is on standby, to turn it off you will have to unplug it from the usb port) Overall, a great game and a great buy. Very happy with this purchase.

I bought this for my Godsons 7th Birthday.....he nearly fell off his chair with excitement when he opened it. A fantastic starter pack with everything you need...Wii game, portal, 3 figures, cards and stickers. It was the cheapest deal I could find both on & off the internet on the 1st May...however bit disappointed that 5 weeks down the line it is already £12.00 cheaper!!! It has been played with nonstop since he received it, as many of his friends also have it and love the whole concept of the game. There are many figures that can be bought individually or in multi packs to accessorize this game, either giants or minis with some lighting up, which he has already done with some of his birthday money...hence an extremely happy young boy. Highly recommended for an action packed game to keep them amused....although I have to say I didn't have a clue what was going on when I joined him for a game...hey ho thats what getting old does for you!!!!

Pros - good condition, disc is good condition so is the portal all works all good Cons - didn't receive the initial package, had to get a replacement sent, stickers on the bottom of the figures hard to get off, wrong tracking code

Where can I start? My son and I are hooked. We play skylanders every oppotunity we can get. It encourages team work as players have to stick together. Its clever, you place the figure you want to play on the portal (a round castle turret that glows, that is attached to the back of your wii by a usb cable) and he appears in the game. Each figure has different abilities and a different personality. We've planned all the figures we're going to buy. It helps (not essential) to have a figure from each of the element groups (water/fire/sky etc) so that you can do all of the challenges. Its cleverly made so that once you've run out of life your player has to rest, and if you go through all your players in this way, you'll want to buy more to play longer! Bonus, the 'spyro's adventure' figures work on sylanders giants! (But not the other way round). Worth every penny!

The game I received DOES NOT work on the UK Wii. I dug the old wii out as my son has been going on about skylanders and saw that it was available on the wii on Prime to be delivered next day. Son was delighted when it arrived only to find out the game was USA version and couldn’t be read. Got a gutted 8 year old who had waited all day for it to be delivered only to be let down.

My children love the game and the characters and this is a good way to get started in Skyland - we hadn't tried the spyro stories. Having three characters come with it means you can vary play a little and have multiplayer. The problem really is the price and extra characters at around £8 a time (though you can get deals of 3 for 2 etc) is a great marketing ploy to like the pockets of the game producers (especially when on Mario Karts etc, you get multi characters to choose from and new ones and karts etc unlocked as you progress). Some parts of the game almost require that you have multiple different types of characters (Fire, water, earth, dead, etc) to be able to complete the game. Luckily I have a 6 year old boy who has been able to explain to me what I need to do to progress and helped out, otherwise i'd still be on the first level!

Beware. Skylanders is one of those products with big exciting packaging, but the contents are extremely lacklustre. The game itself is very slow and plodding, and has none of the excitement of any Mario Bros game. There are none of those 'almost did it!' moments that make that make your child squeak and want to have another go. Your character just plods around at the same pace destroying everything until finally (thankfully) the level ends. If a committee of funless 40-something educationalists were asked to create a game for children, Skylanders would be the uninspired result. But there's something even nastier about the game. It encourages you to get more characters... which means paying out for more of the overpriced plastic characters to stand on the platform. After about 3 days my son was wanting to spend his Christmas money on more characters, but a couple of weeks later they now lie gathering dust (together with a boxful of unwanted ones from a friend) and he's playing his old games. Avoid this game!

This is a great game for the Wii. We got it for our six year old's birthday and he loves it. He and his seven year old sister play the game together and are fascinated by all the characters and their special powers. As we limit their Wii time they also pretend to be the characters and play out adventures using their imagination. The individual characters make a great present idea for relatives to buy any kid who has this game and I can see these being part of birthday and Christmas presents for years to come - even for Mum and Dad. Our younger children are also keen to help build up the collection of characters so it's a good game for getting the whole family involved. The game has lots of levels, is fun to play and looks great so I'd thoroughly recommend it. Amazon had the best deal when we bought this and it was delivered free of charge and free of hassle.

Alles bestens

5 stelle rapporto qualità prezzo comprato usato come nuovo pagato poco più di un euro. L'ho comprato solo per i pupazzetti per far giocare i bimbi senza pensare al gioco che comunque proverò. I pupazzetti veramente ben fatti. Vale comprarlo anche solo per quelli. Preso usato come nuovo ed è veramente nuovo! Consegna rapida.

Pack de démarrage pour jouer à skylander Giant (2éme version du jeu) (Nous en sommes à la 4éme ou 5éme génération). Mais nous avons choisi cette version du jeu même si elle date un peu car, de l'avis de joueurs avertis,c'est la meilleure version, de plus il n'est pas du tout démodé, les figurines sont super jolies, fonctionnent parfaitement et sont moins chère que la dernière génération... Mes enfants adorent ! C'est donc un bon compromis si vous n'avez pas besoin d'être totalement à la mode, par contre attention, les figurines compatibles ne se vendent plus en boutique classique (ou d'occasion seulement), donc prévoir des commandes futures, car le jeu c'est bien, mais il faudra abonder en figurines (1ére ou 2éme génération).

Muy bien todo a la perfección. Destacar qu no está en Español, pero yo ya lo sabía, lo compré por los accesorios, ya que estaba muy bien de precio. Llegó cuando tocaba.

Ha llegado en perfectas condiciones, tal y como se describía en las fotos. Lo compré a muy buen precio. Vendedor muy recomendable!
