Skylanders Trap Team Starter Pack - Xbox One

Capture Evil. Unleash Good. Kaos has blown up the walls of the feared Cloudcracker Prison freeing the most notorious villains in Skylands. It's up to you and the Skylanders to find and capture them. Using Traptanium, a magic material that can harness the power of the Elements, you have the amazing ability to trap the villains and return them to Skylands to fight for you. Begin the ultimate adventure as you explore Skylands in search of the escaped villains. Starter Pack includes: one Video Game, one Traptanium Portal, two Skylanders Figures, two Traps, one Character Collector Poster, two Sticker Sheets with Secret Codes and two Trading Cards.

This is easily one of Activision's home runs, where they take the classic gameplay from the previous games and expand greatly on the universe. With the addition of trap masters and new traps, make the experience extremely addictive with unique gameplay and great for children and adults alike to play. The game features you additional content with all the previous characters from the prior 3 games to use aND the portal redesign is the best of the series. Skylanders Superchargers may be the newest addition to the series but many will argue Trap Team is the series that drastically improved and perfected the series.

My two boys love the game, but have complained that it is way too easy for them to level up their new Skylanders (several times). I have them increase the game difficulty, and that makes the game a little more interesting, but they really wanted a greater challenge with gaining the new character abilities. Granted, they have and have completed, all of the previous Skylander games, and have all of the Originals, most of the Giants, and a number of the Swap Force characters. So this is a little old hat, and might be the last Skylander purchase for this household. The best part of the game really is playing as the bad guys, and my boys do think this is fun and entertaining. However, Terraria and Minecraft are substantially less expensive, and might be the most played of all their games.

This franchise has had me interested for a very long time. Being 27, I was always skeptical because every time I went into the Skylanders section, I was older than everyone in the isle by 15 years. Needless to say, it was well worth the purchase. A fun and unique gameplay experience that gives you a nostalgic value when you play. The characters and traps are cool and make me feel in control of the game. I am a kid a heart all over again, just like the day I opened up my Gameboy Color!

Don't be skeptical with its cute edge and the fact that you collect toys. This game can honestly be enjoyed by anybody. Gamers that have kids of their own will love this game, because it finally gives them something they can do together, since the game supports local co-op.

This is a fun game, with more added features as the games are released. There is a lot to do in the game, and it's not just for kids. There's quite a bit to this game storywise and in terms of gameplay that are quite funny and challenging respectively. Even to an adult. The new boss capture feature is a nice (free) way to play new - albeit less developed - characters.

My son LOVES this game! I contemplated purchasing all of the characters individually because I did not want to make the initial investment. However, the starter pack proved to be the best purchase option. The starter pack comes with items necessary for play. So when your young one is begging for the Skylander's game, please purchase the starter pack. You'll be grateful that you did.

As a fan of the prior Skylanders games, I knew what I was getting was a fun, colorful, yet simple action game. I really enjoyed how the graphics are so much more detailed than the previous generation of games. The characters truly shine. The gameplay is solid, with each character having an upgrade tree with multiple moves. Recommended!
