Customers are saying

Customers find value in the engaging gameplay and diverse characters of the Skylanders Trap Team Starter Pack, with many citing the fun factor and ease of use as key strengths. While the game provides significant entertainment, some customers express concern regarding the additional cost of expanding the game's features and acquiring all the characters. The compatibility with previous Skylanders games is also a positive aspect for some players. However, opinions are divided on the necessity of purchasing additional trap crystals.

    My son really liked this game, and got it for a great price. Easy to setup and lots of fun. Does take a lot of extra money to expand the game.

    The Skylanders trap team is a good game. My kids like it and play very often. I bought an additional character and 5 traps to make it more interesting. It has a nice game play and many characters.

    My 6 year old son loves it. He wants all the characters lol. I bought him disney infinti and once he got skylander he stop playing infinti. The only downfall with skylander is each character cost money. What a way to rip people off smh.

    Got this when it was on clearance. Good game as my son loves it. But since this is an older version it is harder to find everything you need.

    Imagine Pokemon, but you have to pay $6 for pokeballs and $15 to get a trainer. The game is fun, but you'll be spending a lot on it.

    My son loves this game and I'm starting to get into it as well and it's a fun safe pg-13 fun for everyone game for kids on the wii u. The only thing I don't like is having to buy all the trap crystals which is hard to find and when I do there's special bundles packs I missed out on. Overall it's worth it for advancing in the game.

    This was #1 present on his Christmas list and he loves playing it. You will need Kaos trap to beat the game though and they are very hard to find, so we ended up buying Dark Edition Starter Pack as well just to get the trap. Gave it four stars because on Christmas morning we opened the sealed package to find there was no Wii U game inside, Santa's elves had obviously made a mistake! Best Buy was great though and replaced it the very next day.

    My son is a big fan of the Skylanders series and this is a great addition to the franchise. I was not a huge fan of what I felt was a money grab with the traps though. We've recently gone back and started playing Trap Team again since we are now able to get all the characters and traps on clearance.

    Good Follow On To Swap Force

    Our girls got this from Santa and they love it. They have played Swap Force over and over and this is a great next adventure. The only thing is that we've experienced several "lock ups" on the Wii-U version. Albeit the lock ups are much less than what we were getting on Swap Force on our Wii, it's still frustrating that a new game that's been out since October is having so may issues on this platform.

    By far our son is having more fun with this game than the previous Skylanders games. As a parent, the only thing I resent is all the extra expense with the traps, trap masters, etc. Plus, as an adult it's confusing.....but, I guess that just shows that I'm old. Your kids will love it!

    Like the Skylanders games before it, this new installment has bold graphics, plenty of action, fun story line, and a new feature in the "trap" of the villians. Not sure if just a fantastic gimmick to sell more plastic traps, but the kids really seem to enjoy that aspect. The more you get, the more places you can unlock in the game. Good violent fun without too much violence.

    My son has a great time playing this game. The only issue I have with this game is that there are MANY figures that he wants for the game. I love the concept and it is cute that he can trap characters in the game and then use them in other parts of the game.

    My two kids are hooked with this game. And they are both girls. The loved it and want more of it. The only reason I do not give 5 star it is because the game gets way to expensive when they force you to buy most of the characters in order to complete the game. But, nothing we can do about it. They are just trying to get more money out of those games.

    Picked this up for my son on a clearance sale for $12.99. He likes the game and has fun collecting the characters. We did have an intermittent issue at first with the portal dropping out. We found that if we moved it away from the TV it worked fine. Also read that it can have issues if it's used on a reflective or metal surface.

    All of the skylanders games have provided hours and hours of gameplay for my son. I am fortunate that he doesn't play these games everyday, however, he does enjoy going on occasional weekend game binges and skylanders always is his game of choice.

    We seen this advertised for half the price as anywhere else and couldnt believe it. My son was thrilled to get it. He had the newer sets so we were not planning on buying previous sets until we seen it at your store.

    Fun, entertaining and adventurous. My boys love it! Got it for Christmas and they couldn't wait to play it. There are plenty of characters and there are many traps! It comes with a cool platform to place all the traps.

    I bought the trap team for my family. The game is actually really neat, and you can never have enough trap team members. Make sure to purchase all the traps as well, as you will need them throughout the game.
