Is The Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure Game Starter Pack Worth Buying?

The Spyro Adventure game series is truly loved by children, and all games feature an excellent story for them to follow. This particular story has been developed by the writers of Toy Story, so you know that there's plenty to keep the kids active and entertained.

The Spyro's Adventure Game Starter Pack will give you more than just a computer game, however. The best thing is the addition of the interaction figures. When connected to the Portal of Power - either in your child's own game or when they play at their friends' homes - the characters literally come to life as characters in the game. The figures remember what's happened, and which treasures they've collected. When they're not being used in the game, they also make fun standard action figures for kids to play with.
The inevitable downside, of course, is that with all these extras comes a price tag that's bigger than with most standard games. For that price, however, you get hours of play and collectible items that your kids can trade with friends.

If you want to add even more value to the package in future then there are also add-ons available to buy. The fact that kids can get online to play with games or unlock more features also helps to keep this game interesting for as long as possible.

In short, the Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure Game Starter Pack is like nothing your kids will have seen before. The figurines literally come to life in the game, which is an element sure to get them excited.
