kudos:1 | Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure If anyone is looking for a very cool game to get their kid, this one is pretty awesome. My 6 year old would play it all day if he could. Very neat concept. |

| I just picked this up for my 4yo son, he's been asking for it since he first saw the commercial. I told him he wasn't old enough but he said he wasn't 4 anymore, he is now 10 and up(the age recommended in the commercial) so of course I had to get it for him  |

I saw this in the store yesterday and thought it looked like a neat concept, but didn't really get any further into it. What is it all about? |

The game requires little action figures to be able to be played. 3 come with the game and you can buy more seperatly. WHichever action figure you have on the portal of power, thats the character that is on the screen, you can switch them out at anytime during game play as long as one isnt dead. When all of your skylanders are dead, you have to start the chapter over. My son and daughter have been playing 2 player coop and are on the last boss. I am not helping them and they have almost killed it twice. |

That is pretty neat that you can swap on the fly and that your kids are playing it together. Do you have to "program" the game with the Skylanders or does it recognize new ones as soon as you place them?

kudos:1 | I wonder how much they have made off of the extras... I saw the packs in Gamestop selling for $19.99, with each one only containing three characters. |

As soon as you sinc the portal of power with your system once you are good. You can change the guys out on the fly and it automatically recognizes them. |

You can co-op with one portal, you do not need two, just two action figures. |

My son just got the skylanders game for Christmas. However it is not recognizing any of the characters and is unable to play. You can imagine his disappointment. So why are the characters not being recognized? Anyone know? |

kudos:1 | Did you sync the portal with your system? The little reciever is in the battery compartment. After you do that it should work with no problems. |

@comcast.net | Yes! My husband did try to sync it several times. He spent 2 hour's trying to trouble shoot and went to website and all. I guess we just happened to get a difected one is all. Will try to exchange tomorrow. |
