Cons:

-The special thing about skylanders was the way your figures leveled and not the safe file. Without heroic challenges it is just grinding and farming points to improve your portal master rank which is boring and of no use if you play another game. They could have unlocked the challenges with either the skylanders and/or ingame achievements.
- I am still missing a way to skip videos and dialogues.
- I don t see any use for those double elemental gates. Now i have to connect the second controler, change two skylanders and disconnect it again.
- All skylanders could have move abilities, at least every new skylander. If they want to sell more figures, they just need to implement more elements.
- The old skylander quests are gone . Now i have to unlock them again. They could just add a platinum and mithril rank.
- I don t like the way they separated the story,time and point modus.
- I don t like the point,star and rank system at all.
- Too much slapstick. The humor got kind of shallow...
- Too many new human skylanders (because of the swap system?)
- no skystones

Pros:

- Jumping
- Swapping
- More playtime/levels are longer
- Improved coop modus
- All old skylanders can be used (even so they are weak like a freshborn baby)
- Skylander collection is safed for all new games
- more mini games/alternativ game styles (like in Little big planet or Ratchet and Clank)

Oh,and another thing that's worth mentioning.Who in their right mind makes the boss battle themes as they were - some with no more than 20 seconds being looped over and over again?! Lorne Balfe disappointed me for the first time,we had stuff like Drill-X's Big Rig and Lost City of Arkus,and now something that just can't be more lazy than Kracko's theme from Kirby's Epic Yarn.

I actually really, really like and appreciate that they separated time/point runs from the main story mode. Making races it's own game-type was a great move.
