Activision Skylanders Imaginators - Wii U

Kaos has discovered the ancient power of Mind Magic and is using it to create an unstoppable army of Doomlanders! Eon is calling upon all Portal Masters and Skylands' greatest mystic warriors, the Senseis, to stop Kaos and his minions. Now, you must use the power of your imagination to create your own Skylanders to battle in the ultimate adventure alongside the almighty Senseis to save Skylands. Review: Great Game But Be Aware of Costly Add Ons - A nice addition to the Skylander's franchise, but it can be complicated for younger kids or those not familiar with other Sylander's games. The original Skylanders and Giants are simpler, since you only need to purchase the Skylander figures, but in later versions there are the figures plus additional items to purchase for users to utilize the full game. This means spending A TON of money on each game. For example, for Imaginators you need to purchase the figures plus creation crystals (and then additional mystery gear packages if you want to have all options for your player). Figures are about $15 a pop, $10 for crystals and $6 for mystery gear packages. ...... If you just play with the figures included, it would become boring very quickly. However, if you are able to purchase several other figures, the game is really immersive and interesting, something kids will always reach for (and adults enjoy as well). Bonus is that the figures are made well, my kids enjoy playing with them outside of the video game, and I appreciate that! Review: Skylanders Imaginators is revolutionary - I really cannot say enough about the Skylanders games. My son is eleven years old and has loved every single one of the Skylanders games. The fact that you can create your own Skylander for this particular version is outstanding. Even though this is a video game, it engages the children to be creative and use the minds to imagine and have fun. The great thing about this game is that the characters can be played with with the video game, and also without the video game. I highly recommend this video game for everyone from 5 years old and up....I've even had the opportunity to play this game with my son and I must admit it is tons of fun!
