    These games have something for every imagination! Fun, challenges, rewards, and positive thinking re-enforcement are aplenty. Trap Team is the best in the series for older players, in my opinion. Don't forget to check out the Skylander Boy and girl videos on YouTube for plenty of information on how-to play. Happy Skylandering Portal Masters...

    Both my husband and son are really into this game. The graphics and sound are very appealing and the adventure can go several ways, depending on the characters and traps you get. The starter pack is great because you already have some to start with. What's also great is that the characters from the Giants game also work here too. Great product!

    This was my nephew's christmas gift, and of course he thinks it was the perfect choice and the hottest video game available to date. Really colorful graphics, well made characters, and entertaining storyline which brings lots of fun to all the family.

    My 8 year old son is a huge fan of Skylander's since the first game. The entire concept is awesome. He really enjoys the figures and the video game character versions of them as well. He plays with the figures separately from the video game sometimes too. They are very detailed figures. The introduction of the traps in this game is awesome. My son loves that there is a speaker on the portal to hear the characters you have in the traps as if they were really in the traps (instead of from the screen). This starter pack came with the game, a new portal, 2 traps, and 2 skylanders. We are very pleased with this game starter pack.

    Excellent game for my kids. We already had a lot of skylanders characters and this game was what they wanted. Can't play the newer characters but all the older ones you can. Excellent for the price! Hope best buy has the other starter packs available soon so we can have all the games. Good game play but we do need to find all the trap elements now to trap the villains.

    Great game for my 4 y/o. It's a starter pack so it's limited but it's compatible with the other games except superchargers. Heck I play it too.

    My five year old son asked for Skylanders Trap Team for Christmas and he loves it! I had to set the game to easy for his skill level, but it's amazing to watch him navigate the levels. I only gave four stars because of the additional cost associated with this system. The game requires additional traps and trap masters, which I was not aware during the initial purchase nor I was I tracking how much money I would have to spend on additional traps and figures. The game design is great and it's a really neat concept. Just be prepared to spend a lot of money!

    Son Loves it - but hard to find traps

    Hard to find traps for this version of Skylanders but son has been asking for this since all his friends have it. Fortunately, trap team is older so many of the parts (that you can find) are relatively cheap. This was for the PS3 version. Seems to work fine - load screens are probably faster on newer consoles and don't deter from the PS3 gameplay.

    My 8 year old son absolutely loves this game, so much much more than the 3 previous Skylanders games. I must say, the traps are so cool how they move from the speaker to the portal. Very imaginative game, got it at a great deal too!

    If you're recently introduced to the world of Skylanders, try this. It's much better than Super Chargers and the price can't be beat!

    The kids love all of the Skylanders games, but they are expensive. If you don't want to get into a money pit then don't get any of these games. If your kids love Skylanders then they will love this addition to the series.

    Bought this for my 5 year old. Surprisingly easy to play. The characters and environments men's are very cartoonish. I was afraid they'd be too scary for him but no complaints. Downside is there are a lot of characters to buy and trap keys to purchase to unlock the entire game.. hence the minus 1 star.

    My son absolutely LOVES this game. Be prepared you will be buying additional crystals to trap the "bad guy". You need a crystal for each type of element, IE. water, air, magic...

    Overall a good Skylanders game, similar to most of the past games. All of the old Skylanders can be used in the game, which is nice. The only complaint I would have with Trap Team is the fact that all elemental gates in the game can only be opened by a Trap Master of that element. So, you either go through the game only being able to open less than one eighth of the portals, or you start buying trap masters at ~$15 each.

    I like this game as it has the ability for younger children to learn. The graphics are great and kids enjoy the characters. A drawback is the game can get expensive when the available pieces are sought by kids.

    Best of the Series

    I bought the original Skylanders: Spyro's Adventures for my two boys when it launched because the concept of importing various collectible character figurines into the game by placing them on a "portal" seemed pretty cool. Well, apparently millions agreed and the experience has only improved since! My kids insist on getting each new version - Giants, Swap Force and now Trap Team. The Starter Pack is just that. It provides the game disc, usb portal, two Skylanders playable characters and two traps. As in previous iterations, the older characters are playable in the new game, except now players use various elemental traps to capture bad guys, allowing them to use those characters in-game. It's a fun addition to the franchise, including localized sound from the base portal, adding to the illusion that the bad guys are actually trapped inside the accessory. However, sold separately at $5.99 ea the investment can quickly add up for we parents. The good news is that different retailers offer discounts when you purchase multiple accessories at once. This makes for great add-ons when it comes to birthdays and/or holidays. It also gives kids something to buy with their gift cash and cards after the celebration!

    This is the fourth game in the series. My son really enjoyed getting this for Christmas. Only thing is if you have the other games you can not use this portal to play the older three games.
