Seriously?

My kids will be hyped!

Mind you, the pressure to purchase those digital packs for them will be high. I might have to buy the starter pack. Does anybody know how unlocking the content works with the starter? Can you still use digitally purchased figures or do you need the portal?

Has anybody got it could details how it works for me?

With the exception of a couple of "digital" edition Snap Shot and Food Fight playable characters, it works exactly like the console version. The Digital versions are called instants. The rest of the characters must be played with the portal just like any other version.

But the levels are locked when you download it?
Do you get a download code for a different version when you buy the tablet pack?
Does the portal "unlock" the levels?
Can you keep Snap Shot and Food fight after unlocking with the portal?

ie, can I buy ONE copy and then unlock it on my iPad and my kids? Or are the levels only unlocked if the portal is present?

Portal unlocks levels, can still use Instants afterwards

ahh. Yay. So looks like I can buy the game and use the portal to unlock the app on my kids iPad too.

I didn't want to have to buy the game AND pay for those digital packs.

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding all of this , but what "digital packs" are you talking about in the first place? The adventure packs?

the game is sold as packs on the tablet. i guess its done this way to squeeze more money outta people.

I downloaded it and played the free 1st level. So slow it's unbelievable. Also the snap shot and foot fight where called instant and they had a rusty kind of skin. Are they variants ? If your going to by the starter for iPad mini 1 don't you won't enjoy it.

yes its ingame skin variant..

Just so you can see how it looks, a few screenshots. It looks acceptable most times, but some of the textures are just horrible- I took the first two shots randomly, but the last two specifically to show how awful the textures can be. Also, transparency effects are almost nonexistent (example: water in Skylands Academy is very noticeably opaque, and you can clearly see your charcter clip it if you step inside). A lot of the special effects and some props (like flora in Skylands Academy) are absent. A lot of the artwork was visibly compressed (easiest to tell here with Buzz's anove his dialogue box).

if desperate and this is the only choice i guess someone will pick up this one.
