Spyro\'s Adventure

Skylanders, by Activision, is not a new title (many are familiar with Spyro the Dragon) but it\'s a new approach to the video game platform. The starter pack comes with the game software, plus three plastic toy figures based on the game, and a Portal of Power that plugs into the game console.Placing a figurine on the portal brings the character to life in the game. Each character has different powers -- and of course, you\'ll need to collect them all in order to win the game so prepare for the add-ons -- but it\'s a great concept and will keep the game-play going for a long time.Also welcome is the fact your kids can take their characters to a friend\'s house and battle with their characters in the virtual world.The starter pack comes with: Spyro\'s Adventure game, Portal of Power, three Skylander Character Figures, poster, three trading cards, sticker sheet, three Web codes and AA batteries.
