My son and I had the pleasure to attend a huge party to celebrate the launch of the new video game, Skylander’s Spyro’s Adventure by Activision. And introducing the game to the public was NY Knicks basketball star, Amar’e Stoudemire!
The Skylanders Story
For generations, the Skylanders — a diverse group of mythical creatures, each with their own powers, personality and tendencies — have used their magical powers, weapons and levelable battle skills to protect their homeland, the Skylands. But now, an evil tyrant with the powers of a portal master has frozen and banished them to Earth. Only you, a portal master yourself, can physically put Skylanders on the Portal of Power — a conduit between this world and theirs — and bring them back to life in their world where they can battle to save Skylands forever.
Action Figures with Brains
Skylanders are special physical action figures that come to life in-game. Just take a Skylander, place it on the included Portal of Power, which is synched to your game console and a representation of your chosen Skylander will come to life in the video game and do your bidding. There are over 30 Skylanders in total – each with unique abilities and powers (three are included in your starter pack). Skylander action figures remember their in-game experiences and upgrades as they explore the mysterious world of Skylands, battle menacing creatures and collect treasures. Conveniently, it doesn’t matter what gaming system your friends have at their house, the Skylanders work on and across all major video game systems. That means that you can take your Skylanders over to your friend’s house, drop them on their Portal of Power and your Skylanders will come to life in the game.
Wow. New tech. The kids had an amazing time with these collectible creatures. We will soon have one for our own review and you can see my son in action!
Theses kids are having an intense time playing the new Skylander’s Spyro’s Adventure from Activision. By the way, that is my son in the middle and his good friend and fellow classmate at school, the daughter of NYCSingleMom!
Disclosure: We received no monetary compensation for this post. My son did receive the above outfit and a set of the Spyro’s action figures. All opinions are always 100% our own and honest.
