    Skylanders Swap Force: A few questions.


    Afternoon all.

    I've been talking to a few people about this, a lot saying it's a real fun game aimed at kids and adults alike so I'm thinking about picking it up at some point.

    So for those that have it/played it, would you recommend it? ( I'm not expecting it to be the best game I've ever played, just want a fun game and something a little different )

    And what's the deal with the "Real Toys" you get with it? I've been looking at Swap Force Starter Pack on next generation for around £50 but do you actually need these toys to play the game, or need to buy more toys to unlock more of the game?

    Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated Skylanders Swap Force: A few questions. :)

    :)

    Hey vu1022,

    I think you may be in the wrong game here! Did you ever figure it out though?

    Skylanders Swap Force: A few questions.

    I've only played Disney Infinity mate but i believe the toys work in a similar way, basically yes you do need the toys to play, they go on a special base that had a "chip reader" in it so when you put the piece down the character then appears in game, i
    think you can then rank up the characters as you use them. As far as needing others i couldn't tell you. Infinity is great fun but they need to bring out a version for the One cause i don't really play the 360 now so all my characters are redundant

    Just to throw a curveball in mate have you tried Zoo Tycoon for something a bit different? I've just started it (had it since launch) but if you forget about the Kinect side which is a gimmick then its not a bad little game.

    No worries mate, sorry I couldn't help anymore, not really looked into skylanders much. Go and steal Zoo back it's definitely a break from the norm.

    like Mark said mate, you do need the toys. Placing one on the portal makes it playable in game. They level up too and that info is stored in the figure. IT BE WITCHCRAFT!!!!!

    lol I don't mind a bit of WITCHCRAFT ;-)

    It does look like a pretty fun game but like people have said here ( and on other forums I've read ) you would have to spend a big chunk of cash to open up all there is to be seen in-game by buying new figures so I'll probably give it a miss for now. Hopefully
    at a later date it will come down in price a bit.

    Thanks again folks for the info Skylanders Swap Force: A few questions. :)

    You can buy the figures seperately.

    I thought that as well though Pingu but when you select the game on the marketplace, theres only an option to pin it, not to buy it.

  11. I'm not too sure on the Swap Force one, but I have played the original and Giants and I can say the only bad thing about the game is the cost. Yup, the game itself is a standard price but for each figure you can buy, is almost the equivalent of buying DLC
    for a game. The £££ adds up and then your left with £400 worth of nothing at the end of it lol. Or at least that's what its been like on my end. The game itself is great I just wish they would give people the option to either use the portal or buy character
    packs from the marketplace without using the portal.

  14. @Flaming...do you want to get upset? Put all the characters together that you have and add up the cost lol. I did that with Giants and Skylanders 1 figures and once I added up how much had been spent...I wasn't smiling for rest of that day lol.



    @Jedi: That's very nice of you to point out. Thanks Skylanders Swap Force: A few questions. :)
