Skylanders Action Figures Video

RPad.tv takes a look at several of the action figures that can be used in the Skylanders: Spyro's Adventures videogame. The action figures feature some really cool designs and some unintentionally hilarious marketing copy. This video introduces you to some of the 30+ toys that can be used in the game.

This game looks like crap, how on earth was this well rated. It's NOT a Spyro game so why when reviewing it do reviewers ignore this. Even the gimmick like add ons are terriable. 30 toys for parents to waste their money on for their kids and when the sequel comes out they will have another 30 more to buy plus the old toys probably won't work with the new game knowing Activision.

Not really that different from any "collectable" series, this just happens to have a game attached to it.

GunFisher4996d ago

I think I have more of problem with the way Spyro has been exploited. They just did it to try and catch Spyro lovers expanding their money audience.

They kept going on about how old school Spyro fans will find this amazing and at the end of the day it hasn't...it's had the opposite effect on me. I know it's for kids but I didn't want Spyro to go down like this.

PirateThom4996d ago

Sadly Spyro is facing the same fate as Crash Bandicoot, Activision just have no idea what to do with the characters to make compelling games.

Shadowaste4995d ago

I think the figures are kinda cool looking, I don't collect toys and have not since I was 12 or so, but they look neat....If the game with a few of these packed in drops to $20 I'll probably buy it for my wife, she loves stuff like that.

I still buy her pokemon cards and plushes, chicks dig this kind of stuff, well, nerdy ones:)

*nothing better than a sexy nerdy chick!

aPerson4995d ago

The game turned out to be decent, but I (and everyone else) would rather have a proper Spyro game over this.

What I don't get it is:

Activision are known to recycle successful formulas (CoD and Guitar Hero), so it puzzles me as to why they don't COPY the gameplay and ideas of the original Crash and Spyro games for future installments instead of damaging the IP?

EVO-OM3GA4995d ago

I was watching the game get played in my local gamestation store it's actually pretty cool the ideas that they have implimented can be the beginning of something big for the spyro series a lot of kids came in and bought it same with moms and a few male adults.

Think I will buy 2 of them for my lady friends they love platform games and they would love this game!

Well done Acti

Neo Nugget4995d ago

I just wish they would have removed Spyro from the name so all of you people would quit bitching about it. Good God...

From what I've heard the game looks like a lot of fun. Kinda curious to see the amount of content offered right out of the box.

The Best Games of the 2010s

The 2010s occupy a difficult time slot in the world of gaming. The games aren't new enough to be "cool" but they aren't old enough to be "retro." So basically, they're cheap. Ghetto Gamer contributor Hyp3rblue digs deep--but not too deep--into gaming's past to see what we may have just missed.

Asura's Wrath was underrated and the dlc was one of the few times i actually felt like a dlc was worth the money.

SamPao1624d ago

I remember, was it the dlc that basicly gave you the missing mission that without it the story made no sense? :D yeah great one
Never bought it because of that

neutralgamer19921624d ago

Bob

Bro as someone who loves the game and bought the dlc capcom did it really really wrong. Without the dlc the story was basically incomplete. Dlc should add to the experience not add what was it seems cut from the original game

But we do want this game to be remastered because I feel like too many missed on this game. A re-release with all the dlc with better res and frame rate would be awesome

cbuc11251624d ago

I would upvote this Ten times if i could.

Ryushaa1624d ago

You mean the DLC from the time publishers were literally cuting the ending from the game and selling as DLC. I remember the Prince of Pesia reboot also did this, and they didn't even disguised the tactic, the DLC was called Epilogue (Funny fact: this reboot is available on the pc, but the DLC is console exclusive). LOL

It's a certainly a bit strange, but I suppose we all have our own tastes. I'll let it pass because Hotline Miami is on the list. haha

NecrumOddBoy1624d ago

Agreed. Of all the games that came out in that decade, this list picked the most B tier titles and some of the most just okay games. Not saying you need TLOU or BOTW on there but Skylanders?

SDuck1624d ago

Everytime I see a picture of Asura's Wrath I get a moment of happiness for knowing that niche game and then the realization of why it failed with the DLC that made me hate Capcom to the point of saying I wouldn't buy a game of theirs again!

(bought DMC5 on release)

neutralgamer19921624d ago

No doubt capcom were really greedy back than do you remember on disk dlc that we had to unlock by paying extra and other publishers who tried to fight used game market with their online passes

Skuletor1624d ago

Didn't they lock the real ending behind DLC? That game's still sitting on my shelf as part of my backlog, Too bad I rarely touch my PS3 these days.

Ryushaa1624d ago

I can only say: PS3HEN.

Skuletor1623d ago

@Ryu

Might as well, I have two PS3s anyway

Flawlessmic1624d ago

Terrible list but by god did i love hotline miami 👌👌

Outlawzz1624d ago

well I agree this list is terrible. Had to click just to see how bad it was. If someone wanted to know wt the best games were this decade and stumbled upon this list they would think "wt happened to gaming in the 2010's" lol

Crash Bandicoot and PlayStation Nostalgia

The successes of Ratchet and Clank and the Crash-themed Easter eggs shown in Uncharted 4, have a lot of individuals hopeful for a new game. Yet, we have heard that Activision holds the rights to franchise the beloved bandicoot. With their focus on releasing the next Call of Duty, would it be worth their time to make money on nostalgia?

Crash & Spyro should both return !!

Relientk773321d ago (Edited 3321d ago )

If Sony released a new Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon games on PS4 I would literally flip out and scream like a little girl

Platformgamer3315d ago

Crash, spyro, gex, croc, tombi, medievil... They need to come back, for the love of the platform gaming!
