So the game is finally out. What is everyone's first reaction to either playing it and/or reading reviews?

Clock-la · Oct 22, 2011 1:07 PM

trololololololol

I want to customize some of the figures. Alicorn Rainbow Dash Whirlwind? yes!

Clock-la · Oct 22, 2011 6:08 PM

Pay £55 for half a game
pay £39 for a full game.

I definitely prefer the looks of the 3DS version.

I saw a "demo" of it in Target today where you can put a toy's box on the portal and see a short video of the toy. I was a little disappointed there was no actual demo, though. I'm not going to buy it, so how else am I ever going to try it out?

Rurikredwolf · Oct 23, 2011 5:48 AM

I actually got my hands on it the other day.

It was actually kind of fun, but like DotD, cutscenes make me cringe.

Stormy · Oct 23, 2011 5:55 AM

I know none of my friends are the least bit interested in it. Too bad it's probably not going to be rentable.

This is my issue with this game hmm the main issue.
Heck if it was just called Skylanders and had 32 characters and spyro was one of them, then... GOOD ON YOU

It’s the stupid toy thing, is it REALY needed? No.
Is it Really expensive? Hell yes!
I mean TBH if it was just as I said A game that was called Skylanders and Spyro was in it and it included the 32 characters then this would of ended up on my Christmas list. but its just the sheer amount of money they expect us to spend on a game i mean I’m not paying £55 on a game witch requires further spending on to unlock its "full potential" I'd rather get a game for £40 witch doesn’t require compulsory spending to unlock the game potential. You may be saying "hey what about DLC?!" well the fact is half the time DLC is just Minor add-ons and isn’t very necessary. But for a game like this i imagine they will make it forced on you to go out and get more toys. hmm

I mean why is Spyro in the Title anyway? he's not a Major issue in the game is he?

And my last point is that you may be thinking "BUT THIS GAME IS FOR KIDS!!!" That just makes things worse, making parents forkout tonnes of cash so there kids can get more toys to make the game more open. I'd rather just pay less money and give 'em Uncharted or somthing.

RANT OVER

Finally I can access this forum! My browser kept on saying something about a critical error when accessing this site...

Anyway, I will only be able to get this game in May/June because of school reasons. I am sure it is a great game and there will be no denying it. roll

I'm not surprised (and really, rather happy) about the reviews. It's about time Spyro had a game which did not have "mixed or average reviews".

^ ok...it compliments the game.

for what purpos?

non.

Theres no point, even you just said that. the fact is there making you pay money to open this game up ((Because with the starter pack you get NOTHING!!!)) when theres clearly no need for it.

theres no need to say "HEY U BOUGHT THE GAME BUT WE WANT MORE MONEY!!"

Its the 80's advertising all over again, what next PS3 tv shows? my pioint it your paying so much money for a "compliment" thats not needed. arguing about it is pointless as you just said its a mear compliment nothing more. it adds nothing new or anything needed its just there as a exuse to conn kids out of there parents cash.
full stop
also ofcorse you don't need the darth vader figure to watch the film.
but you NEED the toys to play the games. why? you still never gave me a good enought reson behind the toy consept.

end of.
bye bye kids.

It's not a scam. Scams tend to employ at least a small level of subtlety into their play, obscuring what the person is getting for what they give. What Skylander's offers is pretty clear. It is therefore not a scam. It's pricy and basically designed to be a cashcow, but it's not a scam. So if people decide to spend their money on the game, they're not being tricked. They are willfully choosing to buy a full-length game that can be added to later with the purchase of small figures.

You can complain that the game is overpriced, bad value or whatever, but you can't really argue that it's a scam.

Okay then. You can't argue convincingly that the game is a scam.

Latias fan · Nov 02, 2011 1:34 AM

Would'nt it be funny if it turns out the starter pack charcters are bascially the worst charcters you can get in the game? Now that would be a ripoff.
