The topic where you review the Giants and new Skylanders. I will put new ones on this post as I upgrade them fully.
Life:
Tree Rex: Path taken: Lumbering Laser.
Okay, this guy is a BOSS! The laser can fire at a rate that rivals Drobot after getting the upgrade where it firs 3 shots in a row, just spam it.smilie The charged fist smash is an EPIC AOE attack, the only problem is that it doesn't do that much damage (44)
The dash attack kind of suffers on the path I took though, but WHO GIVES A ****? HIS LASER DOES 100 DAMAGE WHEN CHARGED!!!!smilie AND HE HAS A BIRD! THAT KILLS ENEMIES!
Weaknesses:
Arkean Duelist.
Shroom Boom:
Undead:
Eye Brawl:
Fright Ridersmilieath taken: Sir Lance A Lot.
One word: Epic. The primary attack does 29 dmg. per hit, and that's not so amazing, but when Fright's head grows, then when you realease the button and his head slams against the ground? 55! and what about the other combo? This will blow your mind:
188!
The only problem is the A,A,B combo (the one with the spoiler) leaves you sitting on the ground, the ostrich waiting for you to get up, but fortunately it can also act as a ranged attack.However, you know how I said you just sit there for a second?
Well, if you want to strike twice, then charge to safety, you end up doing that combo. And the Z attack's powers lie elsewhere...
You end up sitting there, your ostrich's head in the ground for a while, depending on how far you want to go. But when you release, you go shooting forward,grabbing an enemy in the process,(57 dmg) do 26 to anyone in your way, and exit, doing 26 to your victim.
weaknesses:
Arkean Duelist.
Tech:
Bouncer:
Sprocket:
Magic:
Ninjini:
Pop Fizz:
Air:
Swarm:
Jet Vac:
Earth:
Crusher:
Flashwing:
Fire:
Hot Head:
Hot Dog:
Water:
Thumpback:
Chill:

Well feel free to post you're own reviews, seeing as how I don't even have the game yet.

Well if we can review the game on this thread...
Rather, I'll give some afterthoughts on the 3DS version.

It's not as horrible as I thought to play. In fact, it's got a lot of points that are almost as good as the first in my opinion. There is just a lot of clutter around playing that.
Some truly awful NPCs and what is doubtlessly the worst writing I've ever seen in a video game that had comprehensible grammar dragged the character-wise enjoyment of the main plot past... I'll be quite frank... Past Hell. And the story got crammed in your face A LOT.
The enemies and action sequences are still rather mediocre and easy in my opinion, even in the last worlds(though to be fair, the bosses were quite good fun).
And the game SERIOUSLY lacks polish: it's laggy if you have a few chompies and two larger enemies on the screen. The graphic textures that aren't recycled look ludicrously fake, even not compared to the original, and for the first time I had with an actual game I got the "Error. The system will now restart." message: the engine holding this thing up is truly awful. (Or, I just got a terrible copy. I know it isn't my actual system doing this because this is just as bad on my sister's.)
And some generally stupid decisions. A lot of stuff ruins the theme this game could have gone for like making the Seeker Rod a lame "Portaltron 9000" instead and also just bad ideas menu-wise like being forced to the hub after completing something before you can choose a new level post-game.
Side note, I've clocked all Time Missions and a few 3-Stars in four hours worth.
Overall, it's decent, the gameplay is okay, but there really isn't any reason to pick this up unless it's for the sake of trying it out.
The story is a torture, the combat is meh, but it's okay to explore the levels. You just won't return after 3-Starring or level anything up on it because the combat is so bland, so on the value side it's rather against you, since the challenges... Really aren't challenging anyway.
All the other Skylanders media is better.
