Skylanders Imaginators - Xbox One

I am going to start this review saying I have played all of the Skylanders games except for Superchargers which I skipped since I didnt want a game based on racing. I liked Skylanders simply for its simple yet addicting platforming. So when Imaginators was announced I was thrilled it went back to the same tried and true platformer it is.If you have played Skylanders before, expect about the same. There is an increase in mini games, which I personally added a more fun lighthearted break up to the similar story we have all seen before.The Imaginators is a great but not crucial part to the series. I personally love character creation and fell in love with creating my character. the only down side of the creation is that the class you picked is locked to the crystal, you CANNOT reset the class. Beware buying crystals....they are missing the foil from the bottom so you can use the crystals in box.....Throughout the game you unlock armor sets that both are cosmetic and have some boosts not unlike how hats were throughout the game series. Now, micro transactions ARE available in game via your respective store. but you do NOT need to buy them in order to complete the game or boost your character. you get a ton of loot boxes in game that unlock a multitude of items. do not ignore the mini games, they do give you these loot boxes as well. I will reference a previous review saying Imaginators are weak and useless without the gear. That is not the case. Some classes are harder to get used to than others, and i think that is the difficulty factor that can lead to people thinking they are useless and underpowered. even without gear my magic bird ninja wiped the board with enemies. Within an hour of playing the game I was getting epic and ultimate gear which provide some decent boosts to the characters as well.Like all skylanders games there are various difficulty levels, and areas locked behind sensi's which may lead you to purchase more sensei's if you are a completionist. if you are not I think you will be satisfied with what Imaginators brings to the table. Its a nice twist to the old system that provides some hours of amusement for those addicted to creating characters.So in the end, it's the same Skylanders we have all come to know and love. Yes you can buy all the crystals and figures and adventure packs. Do you need to, to enjoy the game? No. Just playing with the starter pack for about six hours yesterday was a blast while I wait for my sensei's to come in today. Definitely a good time, especially if you are familiar with previous installments of the game. So give it a shot!

Came in excellent condition!!!

I hate that they stopped making this game. My son saw someone playing it on Youtube and begged us for it. So $150 later here we are. I'm super happy I did it. He looooove this game. He is 7yo. He never asks for anything for Christmas so I was excited that he was actually excited about something for once. He plays it often. It's a super cute game and much better for a 7 year old child vs many of the other games out there.

I liked it, definitely a good game

This is a tight, well-produced game for kids ages 7-10. Puzzles are challenging but not too challenging for my kids, production values are very impressive (e.g., great voice acting and character/item names), graphics are cartoonish but absolutely first rate, and the storyline is interesting.This one features good RPG elements, but it's definitely targeting a younger audience than lots of Xbox games. For me, that's a big win!

Awesome, just arrived, packaged perfectly. This is a christmas gift for our 4 year old daughter, she loves all of the skylanders and we have all of the portals and a bunch of characters for each. I think it's great she can play any character on this imaginators portal. We ended up buying 9 of the imaginators characters so i look forward to playing this with her on christmas 😆

Received everything but the game disc. Sadly had to return it and buy from another

We bought this for our 4 year old. He loves it! It is a great gift for a child that loves video games. Age appropriate content and makes birthday gifts easy as we can just buy a new Skylander figure or vehicles for the game.

My kids really enjoyed this which was a Christmas gift.We often get several of the neighbourhood kids in to watch and play which I love.

My boys haven’t stopped playing this since Christmas Day! It’s brought Skylanders back to life after they didn’t like the racing game one. Got the XBox version and all the characters we bought with the Wii one work on it

Grandson loves it

Just as described great product

We have a lot of Skylanders from old plateform WII/PS3 was hopping all would work with this Xbox! And it works!
