Skylanders SuperChargers Starter Pack Standard Edition - Nintendo Wii U

The only other Skylanders game I've played was Giants and while it was fun, but this game is something else entirely. I'm 26, so a little out of the demographic so a lot of things don't really line up well for me. I don't mind childish games but Skylanders sometimes seems too pandering to the intelligence of children with its story and characters. I get that it adds more appeal for even younger kids, but I found myself skipping all the cutscenes when I could. Still, imagine Gauntlet, but new! That's essentially what this is. I highly recommend playing with a friend and buying a few figures that are discounted of different types. I got Bowser and DK and they were awesome, but I found some others for cheap that I really liked too! Each stage was a totally new experience and actually kept surprising me with how creative they'd get. If you're on the fence, give it a shot.

This is the best yet in the Skylanders Series..I'm glad I splurged & bought this game, I couldn't be more pleased with the gaming experience it has tons & tons of game content, online playability with other online gaming friends, you can use your existing Skylanders in this game but they do not have any abilities to upgrade vehicles & you can't use the supercharges on other skylander Portals. The only downfall is that if you want to complete the challenges after you finish the game you will have to spend more money to buy the vehicle element & character which this game calls for at least one light & one dark element. I can't help myself & have bought 4 other vehicles and their character to match for a SuperCharged combo!!!! Lol This gaming experience has been worth every penny, I think!

2 parts Mario kart. 3 parts Skylanders 10000 parts awesome. This game is amazing and the best thing to come to Skylanders yet. The racing is a blast, it's not hard, but not so easy as to be boring. 3 ways to race, Cars, Boats/subs and flying machines. Kids as young as 4-6 can fully enjoy this game as long as someone is there to lend a helping hand with some reading. Adults ( I am 45 ) can also enjoy it either playing with their kids, nephews and nieces or with their own friends. The graphics are good, kind of like a childrens CGI t.v. show ( think the clone wars or Jimmy neutron ) this game works with EVERY skylander made prior to the newest iteration ( Imaginators ) Grab this game and a few characters / vehicles and have a blast.

The Nintendo Exclusive Donkey Kong Skylander/Amiibo was a big part of this purchase. This was my first dip into Skylanders and I'm much happier than what I expected. The colorful platforming set pieces are really impressive. The game's story and mood is a bit corny, but so gosh darn earnest that I can't help but love it. I suggest, at a minimum, picking up a sea and sky vehicle to flesh out the levels. They can feel empty otherwise.

Skylanders: Superchargers, even though it may be the fifth game in the franchise, and it may be getting a bit boring by now, adds new features into the mix to justify a purchase. This iteration adds vehicles, which allow you to drive around, swim around, and fly around, but only in certain areas, unfortunately. There are new characters that when paired up with their vehicle supercharge it to make it better. However, all previous figures are compatible. But the best thing about this version is that for the first time, there is Online Co-op.

For a series that keeps changing, you never know what to expect, but with even so, with Skylanders, you'll find the familiar elements, the familiar characters and the familiar gameplay. That can be a good thing for people who enjoy this sort of play. My children do. I do not. I will say, that this edition has a much shorter story mode, which in my opinion is an improvement. The environments as always are rich in color, texture and replete with diverse traps and puzzles. If you're not fond of Skylanders though, you'll find that nothing has changed significantly here.

I reviewed the dark edition for Xbox 360 and decided to get a wii u to play superchargers with donkey kong and Bowser ( bowser not included with the wii u starter). After waiting for the update I got to playing right away and found some little differences like the legendary and regular hand of Fate register differently but show up the same in the legendary treasure selection. It's a fun game for people who enjoy both vehicles and skylanders the action blends in nicely with the traditional way of play. With vehicles for land, sea and sky it will be hours of fun racing and battling for first place in local or online.

I must've gotten this when it was going out of style, but whatever. My kids have Skylanders Superchargers on their Xbox One, now they can cross play on the Wii U. My only gripe is that Donkey Kong isn't compatible with the Xbox, but licensing I guess so what are you gonna do. All in all, a great product that'll keep the kids busy for hours!
