"What made the first Skylanders game on 3DS so spectacular is that it didn't feel like a side story to the other versions of the game. Spyro's Adventure on the handheld was a rich, wonderful experience that was unique and well-crafted. The two follow-up 3DS entries were more homogenized, just trying to fit the square peg of the new additions to the home console version into the round hole of the portable experience. That trend continues with Skylanders Trap Team, and while it has its moments, the Beenox-developed adventure is merely okay."
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."
