TalkBack / Re: Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure Review
« on: October 17, 2011, 01:51:20 PM »
I live in Pennsylvania in the United States, and this game was just released yesterday, but I got it for my 6 1/2 year old son for Christmas. I read a lot of reviews and this game really has VERY few legitimate complaints from users. The first, which is irrelevant to me, is the fact that the co-op play is not available online. We don't play many games online with other people, so this doesn't really matter. The other BIG issue people are bringing up is the cost. But as some of you stated, a standard new release for any console runs around $60. For $10 more you're getting the portal and 3 characters that will obviously get you somewhere in the game. So far I have ordered the starter set, two of the 3-character packs, and 2 adventure sets. I got 3 of the sets for the price of 2 at Toys R Us on sale, and one of the adventure sets for $7.99 that was a misprint on Target.com that they had to honor, so altogether I've spent about $120 on everything. In my opinion, this is not a bad price at all, and I compare the cost of this to what I frequently spend on lego sets for my son. I have spent upwards of $100 on a single Lego set, but the price doesn't bother me because he loves them, he plays with them, and I know without a doubt that I'm buying a quality product. I was worried at first about buying this game because it uses 2 totally new forms of technology and where I preordered my starter set from said that they hadn't sold a single pre-order before mine. But after reading the online reviews, I know I made a good choice and that my son will be very pleased on Christmas morning!!!
