Activision has today revealed a follow-up to last year’s surprisingly enjoyableSkylanders, continuing the idea of toys that can be scanned into an active videogame world.Skylanders Giantsis an all-new game that will introduce a new batch of “giant”Skylandersthat are more than twice the size of the original figures.
There will be eight new figures, and some will feature new “light technology” that will see them light up when placed near the “Portal of Power” peripheral. Eight new regular sizedSkylanderswill also be introduced, andGiantswill be compatible with all the toys already released for last year’s title.
In terms of the game itself,Giantspromises wider worlds, with new challenges and battle modes. The titular giants will also have gameplay and abilities that reflect their large size.
I really likedSkylanders, so I’m eager to see how this one fares. Hopefully the gimmick hasn’t worn thin already!
