The original Skylanders were the Giants, who united their powers to defeat the Arkeyan King ten thousand years ago. For instance this may involve pulling two floating islands together, or lifting walls of logs. Giants are required at certain moments to complete feats of strength that provide access to the next level in the game world. They can also destroy crates, Chompies, and other objects that may contain coins just by walking on them.Īn important ability only used by the Giants is the Feats of Strength. While normal Skylanders can only destroy rocks with the help of bombs or cannons, Giants can do so with their bare hands without the use of powerups. This version of the game is for players who already own the Portal of Power.Giants wield great strength, giving them the ability to lift, throw, and destroy trees, towers, rocks, and other things that normal Skylanders can't destroy. Local co-op multiplayer returns, with each character's progress saved inside the toy itself so 3DS gamers can transport their figurines to a friend's system, and all the characters from Skylanders Spyro's Adventure and Skylanders Giants are cross-compatible.

The in-game action once again mixes elements of melee and ranged combat, platforming, and puzzle solving, with the new Giant Skylanders towering over their smaller cousins, and the new LightCore Skylanders illuminating when placed on the portal. As players battle with their uniquely skilled characters they earn experience points that can be used to upgrade weapons and skills.

Each character is once again also represented by a real-life toy, outfitted with an RFID chip that allows it to appear in the game when placed on the special Portal of Power. The first sequel for Activision's massively successful reboot of the Spyro franchise, Skylanders Giants finds gamers battling the evil forces of Kaos yet again, this time with the aid of more than 40 new characters, including the hugely powerful new Giant Skylanders.
