CCC Says: "First of all, the entire Skylanders idea is pure business genius. Toys for Bob has created a franchise so wildly successful that even the likes of Disney has emulated their coveted product. Think about it, Skylanders preys on the human need to collect things, it’s marketed to children but is playable by gamers of any age, and (the real hallmark of the series) it is truly fun to play. This combination has catapulted the success of the franchise into the gaming stratosphere, making it a mainstay of the yearly expected release schedule. But, as with any game series, Skylanders must be able to deliver new gameplay experiences in an ever expanding world, lest they fall by the wayside to newer and fresher IP’s."
Paul writes: "Ah Activision, purveyors of fine video games for the discerning consumer. Or, if you have a small child obsessed with Skylanders, purveyors of small shiny plastic figures that empty a parent’s wallet faster than a cocaine habit."
