"Most of the gamers I know (including my past self) would dismiss any Skylanders title as just a boring game only kids could enjoy. Sure, the physical toys can come to life and that’s cool, but only to go through simple platformer levels with no substantial gameplay for those who have experienced the likes of Uncharted or Metal Gear Solid, right? You would be naively depriving yourself of an enormous amount of fun if you continued to hold such beliefs. Gamers like to play, and Skylanders: SuperChargers taps into the playful side of us all with endless ways to play like races of all shapes and colors, collectible characters full of personality, and story levels that introduce something totally new almost every time. Skylanders: Superchargers is absolutely not just for kids." - PSLS

Here's SuperPhillip Central's review of Skylanders SuperChargers."
