Activision revealed today at the American International Toy Fair 2012 that their popular new franchise Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure would indeed be receiving follow-up treatment to the game. Skylanders Giants is thus far being called the “Next Chapter in the Franchise Introduces More Than 20 New Figures Including Super-Sized Giants and Characters Featuring Light Technology” (from Activision press release) and not so much a direct sequel. We know they’ll be new Skylanders released (more then 20 including 8 giant-sized figures) and from the reveal trailer it looks like Flynn and his balloon show up – giving gamers familiar Skylands to explore.
Activision has confirmed that all previously released Skylanders (and their power-ups) will be 100% compatable with Skylanders Giants – basically making a combination of two vast games to play with all the figures and expansions. Parents who are keeping track of their wallets will be shelling out more then they had hoped for as the Skylanders franchise is currently the ‘gotta have them all’ generation that was formally exclusive to Pokemon.
Suggested Retail Price for the Skylanders Giants Starter Pack is $69.99 which means we should expect another 30-40 hour experience of gigantic proportions. We hope retailers double their orders this time around for the 2012 holidays as Skylanders figures were in short supply once word got out how fun it was being a ‘Portal Master’.

[..YouTube..] thanks bro but the screen cap is Alchemist who is in Skylanders Giants
[..YouTube..] 14 People hate Giants football.
[..YouTube..] Regardless if screen capped character is in game it is misleading when it isn’t in actual clip. You’re false advertising because your dumbass just has the standard trailer, which I can see on any other Skylanders themed channel or gaming website. I clicked on your video to see the new character, but that is not what I got. Might seem minuscule to you, but from an “advertising” standpoint it’s typically not smart to mislead someone. Your intent was obviously to get people to click on your link s

[..YouTube..] At least their not pathetic liars this time. Those developers really have some nerve at lying about a whole identity of a game. At least this time it isn’t called ‘Spyro’s Adventure’. IT IS NOT A SPYRO GAME, ALL IT HAS TO DO WITH SPYRO IS THAT YOU CAN PLAY A BAD GRAPHICS DRAGON THAT DOESN’T EVEN LOOK LIKE SPYRO!!! HOW CAN ANY OF YOU LIKE THIS GAME!!?!?!?!

[..YouTube..] Well the people who like it don’t know what a good game is and are just feeding pathetic developers who steal your money. No on would have bought this if they didn’t call it Spyro. The graphics are 2002-ish, the animations are 1999-ish. The gameplay is average for a dungeon crawler. The Story is just a copy of other games. The world is a copy from other games. The script could have been written by a 12 year old. The name is just a lie. The game is full of glitches. I can’t fit anymore 🙁
